First photoshop of Indian Goddess

An idea occured that I could combine my current existing drawing of an Indian woman (or any line drawing) with the patterns I gathered from the 'Mughal Decoration' book. It is not neccessarily Victorian, however I know that in the victorian period, decorations in general were fancy and intricately colourful. With this I tried to capture with golden floral and one of the patterned backgrounds. I used 'Liquify' to shape the floral onto the fabric, with colour dodge for highlights. I used Defuse glow and hue change for the background. Everything else is digitally painted behind the drawing itself.

Here is the work in progress, m-intimacy is my online alias, anything submitted online will be under this name as it is my most well known identity for artwork.

Indian Goddess

Inspired by a woman photographed in a book called 'The Sari'.
