From Old to New: The Duchess and The Crow

So here is the new piece that I'm working on, still in preliminary stages. I plan on refining the image and post color comps with in a day or two. So it is pretty clear even for me now that this is a rendition of a piece that I started on some time ago, but never completed. I think about it as maybe this needed to be seen through to its end, and maybe thats why I subconsciously keep going back to it. Trust me though the sketch went through MANY stages and completely changed to what you see now.
