Finally addressed the centre picture. A portrait of the Queen.
Got this from google and thought it would fit the Nuevo theme.
Drew her in pencil, then pen then put her on a light box and traced her into the picture.
I don't think this has been the best decision I've made for the picture as a whole. While I think it's a nice picture in itself, I think (especially with it being central) it detracts from the mysterious, eerie feel of the room. This is why I done the black in pointillism, to soften it a bit and make her stand out less. I wanted this pic to be her portrait to better translate the narrative but I shoulda went for something more intriguing. + her knee is too high up and she's looks a bit too She-Ra
I've decided not to do the silhouette of the cat as it's getting to the stage where there is nearly too much going on. Same with the pattern in his robes, I'm gonna do it moons and suns but fairly minimal. So it's pretty close to being wrapped up. Still to do, the texture on the table leg, picture frames, pics above the fire place, finish carpet (2 hrs max), fire place and grandfather clock textures. Gonna have to have a break as I'm worn out doing dots but I've no worries about finishing this on time. It'll be done by the weekend.
