I Am Awesome.
A Narbonic commission piece. For my own entertainment, I decided to try an Art Noveau-y style based on Alphonse Mucha, and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

I've been wanting to do something in this style since the Mucha frontpage on Women's Work went up.

Looks kind of like it should be part of some kind of Narbonic tarot...

Very cute--and aren't those round geometric bordered backgrounds a pain in the arseky?

They are! The most time-consuming part was coloring the background pattern. There's definitely a sense in which drawing all the fancy jewelry and drapery is easier than drawing A DAMN CIRCLE.

Are those DNA strands in the background?

That's great piece. Mucha's always fun. I want to do a tribute piece for him now!

Shaenon, that is your best piece EVAR! I vote for it to be a Narbonic Collection cover. If it was my say-so, I'd insist.
