Description
I really don't know where this came from. It appeared in my brain at about 10:30 last night and after that it wouldn't go away!I hardly ever touch bold colors like this. They scare me. But man, I'm glad I took the chance this time. What a hell of a lot of fun that background was!
I realize there's a lot wrong with this. My only references were stock photos and a couple I already had of myself (but without all the glowing and the muscle tone and the awesome boobs). I experimented with half a dozen different ways to do glyphs and light forms on her belly, connecting this element to that, blending more of her into the background, etc., but ultimately I decided simpler was better.
I'm bugged that her face looks too much like mine. I repainted it a dozen times! Stock photos would seem to indicate that, at that angle, quite a lot of faces look like mine. It's the chin, or... the nose, or... something. What the fuck is it? I swear it isn't intentional!
Anyway. Consider this an experiment.
Purple! Lots of it! And boobs. Whee!
ETA: I keep futzing with her face, so this may change one or two or fifty more times. Indecision: it's not just an emotion, it's a way of LIFE.
ETA2: Okay. Okay. I think I got this one now.

I tend to shy away from the bold colors as well, so I know how it goes. I do think the use of such oil-painting soft brushes worked out well for her, since it gives her more of a sense of flow and energy. The lingerie pops so hard that it almost looks like "Atlantis"-esque energy conduit lines - which fits the character well.
Also: glad you quit futzing with the face. It's beautiful. Those electric blue lips especially.

Thank you very much! I'd really like to do a male counterpart for this someday, but part of the delay is in figuring out how to dress him in similarly glowy attire! I'm not, you know. A big fan of banana hammocks. Sooo... not quite sure how to work that. ;>
But I'm glad you like the result here!

This is awesome! It's just so full of movement and life - and I just love the colours you used. I'm all about the bold colours.

Woooooaaaaugh... that is utterly perfect. I love the colors, love the pose, love the lighting, love the inexplicable glowy hands, love the background. All of it just clicks. I really like the shape of her thighs, something about the way you painted them makes them `pop`and seem very real.
I think this has gotta be my favorite picture you`ve done.

Thanks, man! You're not the first person to say that, so either everything else I did really is as shitty as I think it is or I'm just moving up in the world!

Hah! No, I love your other stuff too (my previous favorite was your epic dragonsex picture) but this is just another notch higher.
