A little fun sketch. Still playing with ideas. Yup he's holding one of my jewelry pieces :)

Inspired by my first Alice Cooper show ever (Rock and Roll Carnivale in 1997). To this day I am utterly in love with the whole Steampunk look of it, though at the time I would have no idea what to call it ;)

I have to second that the coloring is great.
I can't decide if it was done digitally though, it looks like it could be watercolor.

Like I said in the previous comment it's a superimposed texture in Photoshop. And yes I made the texture myself scanning a watercolour background. I need to make more of these some day.
It takes about 10 minutes to do a "colouring" like this one, kind of cheating but that's debatable.

I wouldn't call it cheating, you had to come up with the components first and using them like that is a good idea.

This is great DL - I love the outfit, but what I love best about this picture is the colouring! I think that the muted browns look great with the blue background, and I love how you have pulled Alice forward using the white outline :D

It's a bit "cheated" as it's just a texture that I superimposed on the sketch. But I also made that texture myself a while ago. I keep meaning to make more as they are really useful for quick sketches like this.

That's not cheating - that's creativity :P

It's using the tools as they are meant to be used. I would compare it to collage, you are being creative, and it's not handpainted. Who would call that cheating? People who never use digital tools I guess ;)
