Description

Painter X.

Commission for littlegoblet of her orginal character, Georgina, who is an acrobat.

This was an interesting piece to work on, especially for the costume. And trying to capture a confident air of showmanship and a love for her performance in Georgina. Although both elements took up a good portion of the time and work as well.

The background of the circus tent I think turned out well, even better than I had envisioned even though there was a bit of a struggle at first to get what I was aiming for. I think I was overcomplicationg something that was supposed to be simple. Once I just let it *be* simple, it all clicked into place. :)

As is typical, the details of this are somewhat lost in the 'for the web' size. For instance her costume has a pattern on it as well as the bead-work. Plus in the high-res version the crushed-velvet like texture I painted the costume with is apparent, but softened away in this size. I've posted a details image, but even there some of them are a little muted from the original.

*fave'd* ... The way her hair and limbs are splayed with grace in mid-air makes her almost look as if she is flying.

I am second to no one in my obsession with lovely, empowered wings — and you've done many of them — but it's a refreshing change to see someone defying gravity entirely without them!

And the colors work well here, with her green outfit resonating against the tent (itself well done, simplicity does help), and with her skin having a burnished look that could well come from harsh circus lights. Not "too pink" at all.
