Artwork: Beckoning Demoness

A portrait drawing of a young woman with demonic horns, leathery wings and a tail lying on her side on a rocky surface, one arm outstretched directly to the viewer with a smile on her face. The woman has maroon-coloured hair with blue streaks, pale blue eyes with a pink tint and long pointed ears. She's wearing a teal blouse with golden trim, and baggy pale-blue trousers. She's walso wearing golden ear-clips and rings on the third finger of both hands. One of her wings is raised over her like an parasol; the other is laid across on the ground behind her. Sharp spears emerge from the ground around her, and there are stalactites and stalagmites in the background behind her. The entire composition is skewed as if the viewer is lifting themselves from the ground beside her.

A demoness, lying on rocky ground surrounded by upright spears, beckons.

Another drawing where I play a bit with perspective, skew and pose, with some foreshortening of the beckoning arm.

Sharp spears emerge from the ground around her, and there are stalactites and stalagmites in the background behind her. The entire composition is slanted to give it an unbalanced sensation.
It's safe to come closer, really.

A rare landscape artwork—but I also did a portrait variant, cropping and skewing the original drawing:

Still entirely safe to draw in closer.

The choice of how to frame an drawing is an interesting one, and relatively easy to play with in digital art. I can't quite make my mind which of the two images above I prefer (though the blog format certainly favours portrait-oriented drawings for good use of screen real estate).
