The Skeleton Queen by Derek Stewart

This drawing is a collaboration between myself and the amazingly talented Leslie Satori Winchester.

This piece started as a rough sketch that I showed to Leslie soon after we first me. After viewing her portfolio I thought this would be an ideal project for us to collaborate on. Using my sketch as a starting point she made a more detailed rendition, using her talent for detail and ornamentation to further bring The Skeleton Queen to life. Finally, I digitally inked the pencil drawing, using layers of hatching to give the piece some additional detail and a full range of tonal value.

Love the details and dark qaulity of this. Reminds me of a part int he book “The Vampire Lestat”, all of a sudden he see’s mortals as clothed, walking skeletons.

Thanks a lot for your encouragement and enthusiasm! Lately I have been experimenting with different types of work but am eager to come back to doing intricate, line and detail oriented pieces. I have a few ideas that will suit this style and I hope you won’t be disappointed ;). Thanks very much for your comments.
