Artist's Comments

Title inspired from Alexandre Dumas fils's theater play, 'La Dame aux Camélias', which litterally means 'The Lady with Camelias', but I think the English title is 'Camille', which happens to be.... my first name. :D
So yes.... the flowers are camelias, not roses. ;)


I was just taking a little break from commissions, and trying out a few new things.
I must say I pretty like it. I like the way the very very faint colours (yes, full-view and you'll notice it is not just tones of grey) work together.
Very art-nouveau, very retro, very unlike my usual stuff, but I like it! :D

I was clever enough to scan it BEFORE I tried adding a gradient background... which didn't come out too well, so you have the backgroundless version here (I added little star/flakes things to make it look less boring).

Enjoy!

No, actually I do it traditionnally... I sketch the picture with a regular grey pencil, then I ink with ink pens and I erase the pencil tracks. :)

pretty ^__^ the colors work very well together - even though you maybe shouldn't add the little fluffy flake thingylis whatever they are - it would have worked also - I think, but just my opinion.

keep up your good work ^___^
