Ruby remade
Slowly recreating older favourites into digital paintings. There will be many more! I really love the challenge. Please check out the Flickr version, which seems a little 'truer' to me.
The old version was a photo collage - the new one a digital painting (although I did add photomanipulated details with the mice and cages) I wanted to remain somehow faithful to the essence of the original character, hence the coat almost killed me, but I am so happy with the recreation of her face!
The new Ruby also has little teeth:

More soon!

I love her little teeth! The eyes are absolutely hypnotizing. My gaze bounces back and forth from one of her eyes to the other like a yoyo.

She's gorgeous Lou, and the namesake of my new granddaughter. As soon as I'm in a position, I'll be ordering from your store. Your works are magical, inspiring, and awaken the child within. So fantastical! I hope you are feeling glorious as winter begins to creep ever closer. Much love xx

Her little toggle coat is just darling. Something about it.
