Raven

A project that started from a friend's great photo of a costumed model.

I already had in mind the concept I was going for after seeing the photo, so the next step for me was to collate the elements I needed to execute my idea.

After initial clean-up & enhancements, I positioned the elements around the model and tried varying compositions.

Illustrating the wings took longer than I anticipated, for I wanted it to not to look too realistic.

I was also going for a "B movie"-type of poster, which was the reason for the cheeky title =)

After overlaying the entire composition with slight noise and cropping to wallpaper dimensions, The Raven was finished.

Enjoy!
