Description

Based off the Milton Greene photo starlet Marilyn Monroe (now with a little colour added).
A companion piece to the Rita Hayworth;
http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=721271&GSub=108708

We stayed pretty close to the original photo, obviously making the ballerina's tutu black, and changing Marilyn's classic platinum blonde look to black! The umbrella was added initially because it's a Death accessory, but it also fit really well with the threatening sky behind, which we eventually decided to add a little purple to!
Have a look at the B&W version for comparison.

Thanks to Conny Valentina!
