This is my first nude (except the boots) besides the Gymnast from Hasslefree. She was fun to paint, and achieving the skintones was the hardest part. I used a mix of Dwarf flesh, light flesh, white and dark flesh to get teh various shades. The darker skin (ie nipples) has a bit of scar red mixed in for color. The hair was based with graveyard earth and lightened up with bonewhite and a little white. The hair is a fairly flat affair, so the strands are handpainted. The boots were done with scar red, blood red, light fleshtone for highlights and a little brown ink for shading. The pole is done in NMM and the base represents a simple floor. The tiny tat is a simple little heart, and she has a small mark under her eye.

I like the skin tones a lot. And I might have to try graveyard as a base for blond hair one of these days. I would have liked to see shinier red leather boots.

Howdy - well on the bandwagon here, but I too think I'll have to try the graveyard hair recipe. Overall, very nicely done. peace

Excellent skin tones, I would have preferred a view of the face, and maybe a few dolllars on the floor. Still, well executed and well written up.
