Black Magic 1

Originally a commission for a liqueur label that got killed in the sketch phase, one of my most passionate collectors hired me to finish it just for her. i turned it into an Absinthe poster instead, because it all just seemed to fit. This is version 1 and the one I prefer.

MODEL: Meghan Perkins
PLATFORM: PC and Mac
TOOLS: Two Wacom tablets (Intuos 3 and Cintiq 21UX)
PROGRAM: Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
EFFECTS: I don't use any 'effects'. In Illustrator I use simple strokes and Brush strokes, gradients and gradient meshes, and many many objects with varying transparency settings. In Photoshop I paint, often using the semi-transparent settings and glaze in the traditional neo-classic technique.
