The pain was minimal; through her training she learned how to numb her body to it over time. The only distractions were the questions in her mind.
“How did they know?”
“Who set me up?”
The irony of her last job being the most precarious had hit her worse than the bullet. As she poised herself to rid the world of the security personnel after her, she covered her stomach as one final question, the most distracting of all, still lingered:
“Is the baby ok?”
Photoshop CS, Wacom, hard brushes only. 30+ hours (hey I’m learning )
*The dodge/burn tool, blur/smudge tool were not used for this project.*
This piece was about 4 weeks on an off in the making. An experiment as it was only my 3rd digital painting and my first with a tablet, and OMG what a difference a WACOM can make.
It was mainly inspired by my wife (duh) as we went as contract killers to a Halloween party a few years ago. She’s a little more pregnant than as portrayed in the painting (5 months as opposed to just finding out). This is basically to pay homage to her steadfastness and resolve while facing difficult situations.
I highly suggest to check out the larger versions, as A LOT of detail was lost (especially the pistol) with the size reduction.
