digital rough for oil painting of mystical girl

i did this digital a while back. Ive been working on painting this image on a wood 1 by 2 foot wood panel with my gamblin oil paint for off and on for about 5 weeks now. Im using a glazing technique, which is going well, but is extremely slow as I let each nearly tranparent layer dry before adding another pass. The trick is to forget about the painting for a week every time I do another pass of lighting. The skin is about 75% done now after 4 passes. Hair after that and its done....
will post photos shortly.

a reapers muse

Theres two possibilities here.
A
A grim reaper has conditioned a young female into his perfect apprentice. A sexy puppet of death, she lures in unsuspecting men to certain fatality.
B
A cunning young woman has used her smarts and sex appeal to move up in the ranks of the underworld, eventually earning the affection of a reaper. Death thinks he has the upper hand, when really he is being manipulated.
What do you think?

muse of the reaper sketch

my girlfriend is starting to question my tendancy to sketch naked ladies. shes so much more beautiful then any of the women I draw. I wish I could draw women as beautiful as she is. (and for the record, she doesnt look at my blogs and I am not trying desperately to earn brownie points, just being honest really) I try and draw her and fail misserably. so instead I draw the grim reaper and his fling. soon to be a painting.

some girl doodles....
