Burlesque Goldfish

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.
