egypturnashThis is why I was digging through my old stuff: after we watched "Brick" last night, I wanted to do something with this sketch from way back in 2003.

She knew it would kill her, in the end.
(Technique note: There are only two color swatches in this image - the black and the blue. And no tinting layer. I discovered that a tint of a rich black swatch gets really interesting results: the black drops out a lot quicker than the colors do, lending color to a greyscale image. This really only works on a CMYK document; you can't easily 'hide' color under the black like this.)
