Description I decided to pluck this from my old account and put it on my new account, and before I uploaded it I decided to go back to it and do MAJOR touch-ups with 6B and HB pencils along with a kneaded eraser. I even changed a few things on her; example her skirt has completely different details on the very front and back. A few other things have changed, but I rather you figure it out for yourself.
I'm very proud of this piece- seems I'm never truly finished with her though, started her in college when I was inspired by pascalblanche 's CGI model [link] (the original) and ever since then I keep going back and improving her a little bit. Being able to scan it also helped.

p.s. That indeed was my old signature on the far right.

I can see why you would want to do your interpretation of this piece it's great! I love yours more than the original though since it's all done by hand, it changes it completely. The detailing is perfect and the inner glow from the jellyfish just makes it

I'm still looking at this one particular drawing and I feel a compassionate magic in this. There is also as I me veiwing this drawing a sense of class of excelance that comparing to an artist 'Maxwel Parish' from the 1939s. Still the best yet.

StrictlyAshleyDee In reply to topazlights [2011-11-17 20:37:12 +0000 UTC]

This piece seems to follow me, in that sense that I always want to better it, constantly make small changes here and there. Pascal Blanche just doesn't know what he has done to me, haha. It quite literally is one of my most proudest pieces, yet I can't help but wait and want to feel that sort of inspiration again so I can top this piece some day. Thank you for your most lovely comment, however Maxwell Parrish is on a whole other level and style - "elegant and enchanting" is how I would describe his paintings.

It follows it's creator. Maxwel Parish is one of his kind and I have an older book of his.

StrictlyAshleyDee In reply to DaWonderer [2011-07-27 19:37:55 +0000 UTC]

Well thank you very much! I was second guessing myself about the jellyfish, feeling as if I should put more work into it yet preferring the glow rather then heavy detail- so another thanks for putting my mind more at ease on that subject.

I think it does. The drawing is great and the border just takes soooo much attention away from it.
