This was a fairly quick piece that came about organically. I was just drawing a female face and it started taking on a life of its own. I started to see what it could be but didn’t put a lot of extra thought into it other than experimenting with clothing items and backgrounds. The first background was an orange and red flame that shot up dramatically behind the girl. I felt like it was a little on the nose having flames even though it contrasted really well with the girl’s pale complexion. I still enjoy it a lot.
I also thought it would be fun to play with other color options to see how it effects the mood and overall appeal of the piece. I tend to do this a lot when digitally painting because of the almost endless options you could have. Above are a few of the other ones I tried. What do you think?
