This one marks the second in a series for a targeted portfolio mailing, aiming at a few RPG publishers and print magazines. Admittedly it's a bit more... whimsical... than I think some of the folks usually look for, but I prefer to think of it as dynamic range.
I do have somewhat of an issue with the lighting in this case; there's an effect that I added in the end that, theoretically, would make for an annoyingly complicated lighting issue. But hey. It's magic. It doesn't have rules*.
This also marks the second inclusion of Bob The Skull. I like Bob. I think I'm going to randomly stick him in a few other paintings, just because.
(And as a fun little easter egg, take a close look at the book she's reading...)
graciously provided the stock from which this painting was adapted, so thanks! * (c) Joe Quesada, Marvel Comics Inc. 2008
I like the expression on her face. The highlights could be pushed a little more. Her body seem a little out of proportion but not terribly so. There is a scale problem that is screaming at me though and that is the size of the skull and the size of her head, unless it is a demon skull but then it should look more demonic.

Heh. I added Bob The Skull in towards the end of the painting, mostly because the scene called for one (and I need to check this, but I think there was part of one in the stock I used as reference), but also because Bob's ended up being a figure I like painting. In this case, I made him slightly out of scale to the witch in the scene because it let me be a bit more expressive with him.
I'm fairly sure I can justify this with barely remembered descriptions from my art history class back in college, but enh. It's 'cause he looks cool.
That and I thought a Plushy Cthulhu would be overkill.
well I don't think that a Plushy Cthulhu would be overkill [link] although I did this piece a while back.

Hahahaha! Great picture. I also have a copy of that book in my collection. Really useful for beginners! XDD The picture is really funny and it's very well drawn/colored at the same time. Great job!
