My darkness... Roses of blood dance in raven hair, pallid flesh moves with smooth seduction. Ethereal and unreal, shadow given flesh and form. Each night my sins come back to haunt me...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've watched sin city one too many times. This was one of a couple of experiements in a limited palette. Nothing but every shade of cool grey, black, white and a red pencil.

Edit: because someone asked, this was done with prismacolor pencils on black cardstock.

Omg... it's like you pulled something out of my head like the pale skin, dark cloth etc...... I love this *drools*
Hmmm.... now I want HER hair.... ¬_¬ I need to make up my mind which of your chars to copy...

Ooooooooh, Jess... I love it... its the monotone-ness of it I think, and that little splash of colour. I cannot wait to see that film, and seeing what it inspires you to do is amazing, so I know I'll love it. About as much as I love this. Simplicity in it's most gorgeous form.
:iconmakya:
Like all of your work darling, it's absolutely gorgeous.
