This is the finished version of the Madonna I posted previously. This one has a more 'commercial' face (borrowed from a different maddona design I did - such is the wonder of photoshop!)
Here are some Christmas card designs. The idea was to create the effect of being painted on a rough surface and to be quite loose and impressionistic. Took me a few attempts to get there. Its interesting how it can actually be more time consuming to work digitally in some cases.
