I know a lot of art trends towards portraying femme portraits as scared victims. But with this model, I could see an inner strength. I didn't want her to just be a victim if that makes sense. More that she is standing strong even in those final moments.
Painting this figure was especially fun with being able to practice my skin and hair painting while allowing me the ability to flip to the stone side for texture work. Also, it allowed me yet again to use my fluorescent paint to add that otherworldly glow to the split in the model. While also having the snake remain unchanged across both sides. Even if I painted it with more blue tones on the stone side.
