Penance's face...in color

Well, if "grey" can be called a color. Her hair is actually a blackish color with burgundy highlights, but it looks sorta brownish here. Also, I didn't properly blend the background color with the area around her head, but that's mostly due to the fact I really can't see the differences with my eye(s). I know the shades are a little off on the black background, but fuck if I can see it.
Anyhow, this is one of four pictures of her which I will be slathering on my Honda Nighthawk after I repaint the base coat. I'm quite certain the Bible thumpers around this part of the country will love the new paint job...
Mediums used are Prismacolor markers and colored pencils. Time to complete is about 11 hours, including the initial rough sketches. Probably would've been quicker if I had used a photo reference, but I hate shit like that. I don't use that tactic for drawing humans in my mainstream work, so no sense in using it here.

Nah, it shouldn't be an issue. The last bike I entered, I got first place for the Metric Custom category. The bike was my old Honda chopper with a picture of Onika on the tank, nude, full frontal view, flipping the viewer the finger. The folks loved it.
EVen with you personal setbacks, she looks great and intimidating.
Smart ass man, found maled in ditch. News at 11
;)
- Shado
but EXPERTLY well done scaryness! ^^;;
Wonderful work, the mouth and face are just perfect for the character. I really like her, even if she would eat my heart if we ever met but hey, love hurts ya?
Shit, I had to file for bankruptcy in late 2005 because I couldn't afford to pay for everything. It was a total bitch, man.
I still laugh when I hear about folks saying I made up the whole eye issue thing. Since you're an eye doctor, maybe you can verify the information on the following link? It's the technical jargon for what I had stated was occurring with my vision: http://www.skunked.com/Rumor1.htm
No need to check it out, really. But it's nice when a professional from a particular medical field can confirm things.
Glad you like the picture! I may post the others as they get completed.
Keep the art coming, hope all goes well wiht the kiddy stuff and hope to see more Penance soon. :)
Remember people, Backup your files. Even King Karno does it so you should do it too. This public service annoucement is brought to you by perveries for Karno and Skunkworks. Buy buy buy so they can get more drugs heehheeh.
My old TV is a B & W 1962 Dumont and try getting parts for that baby. My color TV is a 1977 Plasma Color by Zenith and she still works great, I also have a 1976 top loading Betamax VCR (Its a real bitch getting tapes for it) and my Computer still has Win/95 on it. (It replaced the old coal burning computer I used to have in the pre-windows days)
That girl could eat your meat & potatoes with out stopping to chew and then rip out the roots! 0_0
You know I hate to say this but sometimes your art work frightens me and I don't frighten easy being a Correctional officer for 35+ years and I've seen some very bloody awful art work by mass murderers that don't scare me as some of yours does.
Keep up the great work she's starting to grow on you
Like a tumor.
That being said, I love how your shading shows the bone structure under the flesh! Seeing the pressure of the jaw bone and skull on her face it a great touch. :)
Personally, I think the perspective was off a little on the forehead by the horns, as compared to the rest of the skull. The eyes look a little odd until the underlying structure is seen and understood. Like I said earlier, she's sort of humanesque in shape, but not quite. A lot of the differences are just subtle things, though.
