Artist's Comments

Here's a story to go along with the image: :giggle:
Motivated by revenge, cunning Dalphyra becomes an infamous con artist and rises from the squalor of a rundown orphanage to the first cycles of victorian society. Along the way she rescues Jasmine from the clutches of a slaver and takes her under her wing as an apprentice in her schemes. As years pass their feats become ever more daring but dangers multiply. Envious masters of the underworld, humiliated aristocrats and a genius police inspector all threaten to blow their cover and lead them to the gallows. But Dalphyra is close to uncovering her mother's murderer and the one mistake she makes may be her last this time...

Hmm, interesting-though a bit cliché-if i say so myself.
i think i'll follow this story for some more images. dark, gothic houses and sooty streets are very appealing! (yes, i have recently seen Sweeney Todd if you want to know :lmao: but i love that kind of setting everywhere i see it, anyway. ;)

:meditation:

Re: color. You're kidding, right.. I'm still wondering how the heck did you get the dusk glow so pat. I love that smirk on Dalphyra.

:thumbsup:

so love me for my scars,
hate me up to the stars.
I'll see you around the bridge of no return
forever wanting, fearing the burn.

:giggle: thanks!
...but i think the "watermelon" dress was a bit of a fail :no:
dusk glow was produced by applying warming photofilter (as opposed to the *very* heavy color balance tool) and also by toying with the levels. :D
She smirks because she's outwitted everybody with her intricate plans. i think she needs an equally skilled opponent. ;)
