Asian Weddings

Okay so I got a commission recently to make some promotional material for a hotel. They wanted to attract more of the Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani communities in the area to use them as a venue for weddings.
Mehndi (henna tattoos) resonant with all of these cultures so thats what I've tried to go for here.

Sorting out a colour scheme was tough but I think I got it pretty much how I wanted it in the end!

Love this woman! This is a little bit of an experiment that didn't pan out, but I like it all the same...

Sherlock Fanart

I am a massive fan of anything Sherlock Holmes related; the books, movies, radio shows, anything.
I got completely hooked when I was little after I saw Jeremy Brett playing Holmes on ITV. In my opinion he will always embody how Arthur Conan Doyle intended Sherlock to behave and look.
Saying that Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in the BBC adaptation are fantastic, I'm reserving judgement on the 'Elementary' version but I'm feeling dubious from what I've seen so far.

Anyway this was my first illustration done with Illustrator and then finished off in photoshop. I'm liking Illustrator so far although like all Adobe programs it has such a steep learning curve.

Also it should be said I am obsessed with mist and smoke, obsessed I tell you!

Bit of digital painting practice, I think Devon Aoki is so beautiful.

So how is eveyone?
