Another gorgeous undead girl

I had big plans for the Macabre Monday challenge at HDH this week.

I painted a pretty cool painting (for a newbie), but she was not my first

idea for the Drop Dead Gorgeous theme.

I am on the Rick St. Dennis EDT, and he is very well versed in the 

drawing of gorgeous ladies. His etsy shop is filled with beautiful 

women of all ages, sizes, and time periods. He really knows how 

to draw scary chicks too, but I had the idea to take one of his 

pretty gals and make them dark with my coloring. 

I have done this in the past with other, "non intentionally dark" 

images, and they turned out pretty good. Well, not this time. 

In fact, it turned out so freaking bad that I actually 

threw the image away.

I NEVER throw out images that I mess up on. 

I always try to salvage them, or at least let them serve as 

a cautionary tale for others. 

So,

I had to redeem myself with the intention of using a RSD image in the 

way that it was originally intended.

I used the image of Meena  from RSD's etsy shop 

(I'm not sure that she is still available, though).

I followed the "choose a sketch" challenge over at 

Simon Says Stamp challenge blog, and this is what I came up with.

I used a sentiment from Stamp Insanity's True Blood set. 

Those are some great sentiments (thank you, Catherine), and I get 

quite a bit of use out of them. Unfortunately, it appears that 

Stamp Insanity is no longer in business. 

Stop by HDH to check out the latest Macabre Monday challenge.

Then, check out Rick's Etsy shop full of killer art digis.
