I’m working on improving my lighting and color schemes. I go for minimal compositions, and portraits work great for this exercise. My aunt has a very strong face, plus being ginger, she is very colorful. I wanted to add some vulnerability to the skin texture, so I made her into a waxy porcelain doll with embedded patterns you’d normally find on china plates to create elegant tattoos.

Some close ups.

Hi,
My name is Talli. In my profession I illustrate, design, manipulate reality with the power of 3D software and Photoshop. Sometimes I like putting thoughts down on digital paper. I publish mainly for myself, but if you happen to drop by I will happily accept your visit in delight. I'll even offer you a warm beverage and a fun discussion on art, spirituality, creativity and even parenthood.
