One in a series of portrait studies of what I think the characters out of the Hazards of Love by the Decemberists would look like....
The hair didn't turn out right, it's more of like a grecian up-do really. Perhaps I'll go back into it tomorrow but it's bedtime!
Photoshop.

Process and detail shot here, if you're interested-- [link]

Suuuuuuuuch a badass Queen. I'm utterly in love with the facial structure - the jaw, lips, and nose especially. I love that they speak volumes about her character even though her actual expression is fairly neutral.
Thank you for providing the process shots, also! So much fun to look at.

this one has something very special about it... the lighting is gorgeous but the character herself has a very strong personality. great work.

This one is more intense than the others. I think her gaze does the work :'D

Ha ha! Interesting. I dunno, I feel like the composition in this one is more stable and balanced, so perhaps that's why. They all have a great atmosphere though. When you paint, do you turn the opacity down?
