Nagel


This is an attempt on my part to do something in the style of the late Patrick Nagel, who is one of my favorite artists. My original design for Fontaine was actually inspired by Nagel's style, though she has evolved into the sort of hyper-detailed (or at least an attempt at such a thing) style that I tend towards now, rather than the much simpler, cleaner (and more elegant, in my opinon) style that I originally envisioned her in.
In any case, I'll probably be trying some more of this Nagelesque stuff, and possibly some things in the style of Vargas as well.
If you don't know who Nagel was, don't worry about it, as at some point I'm sure to write something up about him (same with Vargas).
Not that it matters, since it's not intended to be a portrait of her, but the original image that I used as a reference was of Christina Ricci. Posted by Hello
