An old artwork from my artbook Forgotten 1. I did this one back in 2006. I was searching for an old-school feeling, inspired by the old masters of rennaissance and pre-raphaelism. The story of this picture in the book tells about a personal re-tale of the greek myth of Arachne.

Done mostly in photoshop, not sure about how many time it took, but somehow around 100 hours.

The image is available in Forgotten 1 book and also in portfolio, postcard and calendars. More info here.

I agree with Marieka--except that this is too beautiful to be real! I love her face, and her hair is really georgous.

I like how you seem to have made bits ad pieces of her look like part of her surroundings, such as her skirts and the water, or her hair and the spiderwebs. very original and wonderful !
