Artist's Comments

This is based off a picture I worked on in my sketchbook and finished, but wanted to try a version with my digital tools. To be honest, I like the traditional one better because I got it to look how I wanted, but this one is still good.

I like the shading on the clothes; it adds a nice texture.
Her expression is mischievous. :lol: So perfect. And it's hard for me to draw someone holding something behind his back, so I'm impressed with your results in that area.
Interesting idea to make beauty come out of the box instead of evil. The idea must be to have a reference to Pandora, but not to have the actual Pandora, right?

Thanks.
Yeah, in the original, she looks more serious, but I liked how this came out. My mom was looking at this and she pointed out how the arm looks like it's in a painful position, but it's hard to make it look right, and I was using the original as a reference, so that's how it would look if she was in profile, not turning.
Well, this actually had a few different titles at the start and I couldn't decide. At first, it was supposed to have a "spy" look (weekend of nothing but James Bond playing does that to you) and the box was supposed to have "happy" things coming out, and be titled Agents of Happiness. Buuut... I couldn't figure out how to do that, so instead I made the box like a window, and in the original it's actually a sunset on a beach, and yet ironically, with all the powers of technology, I couldn't get that look on this one, so I borrowed a field instead.

And anyways, I remembered from reading the Percy Jackson & The Olympians series, they talked about Pandora's Box. The only thing left inside was Hope, so perhaps she is finally letting it out?
