Venus Murcia

I wanted to do some classical or contemporary look with a new design of Venus. Hope you like it ^^

I did it in Corel Painter X, a broken Wacom Graphire3 (it was my last drawing), and used `lockstock for pose. I like a lot her photos, she has some goddess look, I'm glad to had done this drawing with she as model.

Edit: fixing some hues and fabric.
