This was a commission request, and another of those times I get a neat idea in my head and - regardless of the time it'll take - I can't stop myself from going ahead with it.
Noting the background, I often use photo-reference for any backgrounds I do. In this case, though, something about the way I painted it in and the light filtering I did really made it look like the lineart was laid over the photo. Don't know how it happened, but call it a 'happy accident'
I also like that I found a bar called 'Ollie's' for Dinah to be hanging around. Nice little Green Arrow reference, I thought. And subtle.
Yeah, the skin gave me trouble - you were there, you saw - but it turned out alright. You should see the print, though - it's the first time I've ever liked a print better than my computer screen.
Oh, wow. Beautiful piece! Coincidentally, I walked by that Ollie's Bar last night while with my fiance in NYC! I'd seen this picture before and immediately thought of it... figured I'd best come back and say how much I liked the pic. ^^

Funny thing - the guy who I did this commission for lives just a couple blocks away from Ollie's. I had no idea! Heck, I'd never even BEEN there, I just happened across a photo of the place while looking for some good NYC reference.
When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
A Special Collection of photographs i found this month that still haunts my mind. Show them some love There are always some i can`t include due to space, i try to make the features under 50 deviations to give them better exposure
