Artist's Comments

This is a "reimagining" of :iconboyneedstherapy:'s artwork of Anita Blake from the Anita Blake series by L. K. Hamilton. I reworked it for an Anita/Jean Claude wallpaper, which was dark and red tones. I also felt that the art wasn't dark enough as it was, and that Anita needed to be more glamorous looking, despite the fact she doesn't wear make-up. This is how I see her in my head. :)

I added the flare, the scars on her arm, the blood, extra eyelashes, changed her skin tone, added the roses, some extra hair round her face, an earring, lengthened her eyebrow and reddened her lips.

25/09/09 - Wow! 100 favs! Thanks so much. I'm glad you all like it. :)

I really love it!, thank you for using my drawing, I realise if you had asked before I could have sent you the image without the background. The contrasts are brilliant, I especially like the roses and the black bra, which suite her more now the series has developed and Anita has begun to wear makeup. The plot becomes more dark and lascivious and this edit shows that really well. I'd like to share some techniques sometime, I'm terrible at backgrounds for my portraits lol

Woah, this is great! It's pretty much how I pictured Anita, too.

beautiful :D i just started with the anita blake series, but personally she looks slightly too innocent/cute (even though she is mentioned to be able to easily look cute) - somehow i imagined her with a bit more "character". I guess that we all have our interpretations of each individual and on a scale of 1-10 i'd giver her a 7.5! well done

Very nice... Some people do such a horrible job depicting Anita - in my opinion. This looks wonderful :)
