Artist's Comments

2B and 8B as usual, using tortillions and tissue to blend this time.
I really need to work on my speed. I'm not sure how long this took me, but i think the detail on one part of the dress took me two hours.
The model is Du Juan. It's from an editorial from some Vogue (italia?)

Daily Deviation

Given 2006-08-21

I have been known to use the expression 'hauntingly beautiful' on more than one occasion, but never has it seemed more applicable than in the case of rollagasper's The Bride. (Suggested by ~nothought and Featured by `dholms)

I love the details and shading. The tones and depth are beautiful. Excellent work with the hair and dress.

beautiful!
i love the lines of the hand and fingers, and the dress - so soft, contrasting the hair and the eyes... great work, overall!
i don't agree with you "being slow" - the dress was obviously a lot of work, but I doubt anyone could do it fast that detailed.
have i mentioned i envy your patinece? :)
