Grim Tango

This artwork is a redux of an artwork I created in 2011 or 2012. The original used a cheap premade background and didn’t look too great. This version was created with a full 3D background, a new light setup, a dynamic cloth gown, and more details. It looks fantastic to me and got rave reviews when I posted it on Facebook which made me happy. Here we see the sugar doll doing a devilish tango with death at the gates of hell. I think this is now one of my favorite artworks of mine.

About the only thing that stayed the same since the original is the skeleton in the tuxedo. Everything else was updated, overhauled, and changed. I used a traditional, very simple light setup to illuminate the scene. Sometimes less is more. Postwork was also simple with just using a few Photoshop actions and adjustment layers to finish the piece. The most difficult and time consuming part of this scene was the dynamic white gown. I had a little trouble draping her right sleeve over the skeleton’s shoulder but, as you can see, I finally figured out how to do it with a little help from my friends.
