Herr Drosselmeyer's Doll

Description

Procrastination at its best, this is what I've spent the day doing instead of the Pagan Festival series.

I have issues with working in limited palettes and with avoiding black so this was a test to see if I could work in monotone.

The subject was inspired by Abney Park's "Herr Drosselmeyer's Doll". Mmmmmm steampunk...

I am jealous, to say the least.

For someone who does not like limited palettes, you do well with the monotone. I find not fault with the use of the color/hue/shading.

Because you requested critique, I will make three observations:

1) The lettering on top should be just a bit larger, or at least taller.

2) I'm not sure the cogs ghosted in the background add anything to this. The cogs on her dress and the seams on her skin should be sufficient.

3) The perspective on her torso is off, especially compared to the perspectoive on the rest of her anatomy. The belly and chest seem flat, and the shoulders are a bit off.

Still, I am VERY jealous and wish I could do this well. Excellent work.
