Dancing with Fire

Dancing with Fire

She dances wildly

and sings the same

hell hath no power ov'r me

 it's licking flames, shan't hold me

nor my body claim...

so it was as she declared

hell needn't hold her

dancing as she dare

her passions was the consuming fire

leaving her nothing , but her bones bare.

Dancing with Fire was illustrated digitally in Poser, and CS6.

WIP Nude in a Wing back Chair

It has been ages since I tried a nude. I was looking through Lempicka's work and trying to get a sense of her cubism planes in both her figure distortion and fabric draping. I was sketching using her "Portrait of Madame M" when the left side of my brain went numb and the right side saw a nude. This is my rough in sketch done in Graphitint pencil.
