The Lovers (A Lady in Red revisit)

Personal illustration, available for licensing. A revisit of an older illustration done for the Uncaged Anthology, with a stronger focus on a striking book-cover type composition.

Finished illustration

Color roughs

Swapped the dagger in the sketches for a skull for a more interesting narrative/prop

I sewed my own leg-of-mutton sleeves for reference because the foreshortening was so weird!
