Brilliant painting! Background, composition, colors, likeness, everything looks lovely like a real poster for that show. I'm fascinated how realistically you rendered Xena's costume!

Thanks! Would you believe that most of Xena's outfit is just regular pencil? This piece was initially done in black & white with just a graphite pencil. I colorized it using layers of airbrushing and tightened it with colored pencils. Rather time consuming but effective.
Are you kidding me?! I would never have guessed. The airbrushing gives it a nice realistic effect. I daresay that is less time consuming than trying to get the same effect using just colored pencils.
