I actually didn't want to post this because after working on it way over my time I came to almost hate this piece.
But I do post it because I owe thanks to the people in the 2D WIP Forum who pushed me through this.
I know it does have quite a few flaws but I have the deadline approaching and my wrist shows the painful symptoms of a nice carpal and it screams "BREAK"!
Anyway, some information:
No, I didn't use any ref for the face.
In face the only photo reference I used is a pink mushroom from getty images (I'll post it together with some close-ups later).
This is half of the page for a background that will be used for a gaming magazine and was commissioned by Heresy Gaming. The Character is copyright to their Victoriana setting and most certainly inspired by American McGee's Alice. However with less Goth feel and more of the actual Alice elements.
The outfit was defined by the AD after different b/w sketches I made for him.
Well yeah..that's about it - hope you enjoy. I go and burry my wrist in the freezer now..
