I usually work with massive colors and decided to do something with more of a black-and-gray style. A little goth style that was fun to create. Nothing from a book or anything. Sometimes the drawing leads you to where it wants you to go, and this is what I ended up doing. Like seeing the sculptor see the statue in the marble, I see the picture within the paper.
This was done in pen and scanned onto the computer to color and shading.
