This portrait has a link with another portrait I made: Gypsy Warrior. They could be used as sisters. I made a photo-collage of many pictures. Base image: J-lo. Added hair, a lot of clothing pieces, tried to make a sort of dress of it, jewels, added more shadows lights, and colours. Hope you like her. 17-03 updated: changed shadows, lighting. Colours.
Hmmm ... the gypsy thief became a monk (multi-class?). Sometimes what you end up with is never what you planned. Some people don't seem to like j-lo, and I am one of them. It's just that the base picture I used looked really cool and I couldn't ignore it. Sometimes I put aside my dislike in favour of a good pic. Sometimes I can't. I would never ever make a picture with Jenny McCarthy, no matter how good it would be as base, she is too annoying.

Nice detail, cool colors. Still feeling a little cut'n'paste to me; also I have an intense dislike for j-lo. ;p

I am working on another gypsy sister right now: the thief. I will upload a relighted version of this gypsy a.s.a.p. So much ideas, so little time ... sigh
