Description
She's strong and misunderstood, and she does evil things but with somewhat good intentions.
This image came about after a writing discussion I had with Lynette regarding bad female characters, their motivations, and how we relate to them. The significance of the image title relates to this conversation.
I loved the look I got with my "What Was Lost" image, so I used a very similar method for creating this one. It's rather exhaustive work with Photoshop and layers, but in the end, I think it's worth it. Also, this image should technically be in the mixed media gallery, but I've been told to keep posting in the Poser gallery if I use any Poser at all in the images, so I'm posting here but mainly just since it feels like home.
The actual Photoshop file for this is 73MB, so needless to say, this has been shrunk down quite a bit. Comments are wanted, and I could still use advice on how to paint hair and clothes because I just can't seem to master the technique.
Oh, and please also vote for this. I got to be number one in the Hot 20 for a day with my last image (it was my first time to even make the list), and well... I LIKED IT! I just want to bask a little longer before all the better and more deserving artists dominate it once more.

Wow! Here's the deal. I'll vote for this image - on one condition - you make more like it! You have really captured what you set out to capture. The feel is someone who might have the capacity to do evil - even great evil - but not be entirely corrupt themselves. I also like that you've got the Angelina Jolie influence without it looking exactly like her. Wonderful image and I am impressed. (oh - here's your vote as well - now go make another image like this) Smiles.

I have absolutely no problem at all voting for images like this ... I wish more like this would make it. But don't worry ... it's highly over-rated. :-) I LOVE this, you will have to share your technique one day ... it's just beautiful! Excellent work ... BRAVO!!

No actually, the eyes are not taken from a photo. I used a picture as a reference for the image, though. I can post a close-up if you'd like and you can see that the eyes are very much StefyZZ's Asia but with a lot of morphing and postwork.
