Here’s a piece I’ve been trying to finish for a few months now.  I knew I wanted an stable triangle composition and to pop out the skin tones as much as possible and hide a central object in shadow… a black bee on a dark dress would usually be considered a contrast issue, but whatever – I liked it anyway, and the wings and fuzz help it pop out just a little.  The dress changed a few times, the ribbon was a hat for a while and the bee went back and forth becoming a house fly a few times before deciding to stay bee-like.

It almost ended up a full digital painting, but I stuck to comic style rendering and limited things to only three tones to keep a comic cell-shaded feel. Final piece is 9.5 x 14.5″ Click for a larger version.

Yell if anyone is interested in a print.  I may do a small run if a few people want one.
