This is cool, Susie!! I really like the writhing anger and torment pose she's got going on ^_^ BTW, she looks totally badarse, Heidi! I personally think a watercolor-type background would just downplay the effect of her image (no offense to anyone intended!), and action lines might possibly be a bit harsh (again, no offense!)... but maybe something that won't overwhelm the subject and still is powerful on it's own... Maybe a sunburst type effect? Perhaps not with sunny colors, but maybe a sunburst-type motif emenating from behind the character, kind of framing her, but in dark colors, like a photo negative or something. But that's just my opinion, you might think of something better. Can't wait to see this finished! Better quit before I write a novel...
Thanks Stealth Nerd. I'll play around with a sunburst effect as well as with soft action lines of sorts. I'm sure I can come up with something. I just want it to be subtle and, like you said, not take away from the main subject.
