A new Burlesque Lady, Yay! Designing her costume took forever! I really wanted this pose because I like how her butt looks, but it was really hard designing a beautiful corset or basque that looks iconic and interesting in this particular angle. I discovered something new in illustrator, actually it's really obvious and most of you will probably just be like "duh!" but it's the first time I took notice and made use of it: it makes a whole world of difference whether you apply a blendig mode or transparency value to every single object or the whole group/layer.
She's very lovely. I like her pose and the way the soft curls of her hair drape on her shoulder. I love the pearl beads, the seashells, and the golden colors of her costume.
