Artist's Comments

i felt like drawing something more "Klimtishly" decorative and a bit more tragic than my usual stuff, the picture is obviously inspired by the G.Garcia Marquez' book "Of Love and Other Demons" and its poor heroine - possessed (or not really possessed? why knows:shrug:) Sierva Maria de Todos los Angeles, those of you who read the really fine book will easily know why there is a little bell tied to her wrist, and the cluster of grapes and the somewhat stormy hair(yeah,i must say - a bit shamelessly since it's me who made the drawing-I do like how the hair turned out to look like in the picture:))

Beautiful, beautiful work. It's so rich, I love the composition, how it's almost entirely curling locks and rich clothing. Her expression is wonderful.

wow fantastic detail! :D
The texturing is brilliant and
the composition makes the figure seem weightless!

Wow this looks so tragic, creepy, and beautiful at the same time!! I haven't read the book, but the character reminds me of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride.
