Nessie: The Color Purple

Just Renesmee "Nessie" Cullen.

I was tinkering around with colors without color palettes.  (Backstory for those just joining us:  I rely heavily on color palettes in my work because I am colorblind.  Yes, it's rare in females, I know.  Every blood Pope female in my clan that didn't marry in has it.  I'm speshul.  Er, we are.)  

One color I don't use often and do struggle with is purple.  And I don't know why, as I can see that color just fine, or at least I think I can, LOL!  I decided to do a mainly purple piece of dhampyr darling Renesmee Cullen.  I figured I'd use this piece because I had used it as an experiment already in clothing and pose, may as well go all out and use it as a color experiment, too.  Why not just use it as an experiment?  It started out that way as it was, I was trying to teach myself more "interesting" poses, since the ones I do now aren't pleasing to me.

All in all, on all experiments pictured here, I can't say I'm entirely displeased.  Not entirely.  It wasn't as difficult to color in purple as I had hoped.    I may use the color more often, and if nothing else, keep pushing myself outside of my artistic comfort zone.  (Some really smart and handsome guy told me that once; push the boundaries of your comfort levels until they get boring to you, then push them a little further out a little each time.  Puppetcancer, I wonder who it was that told me that?  He's a darned good looker, whoever he was.)
