Just my vision of the character from Victor Hugo's "hunchback of Notre Dame". This is not supposed to be the Esmeralda of the Disney movie, though I certainly was influenced.
The Disney movie was actually the movie that triggered everything for me, artistically speaking. I owe a lot to the artbook, which was my main "teacher" and remains my biggest influence.
Anyway, I have other drawings in store, but I am back for only two days, then I won't have internet again for two or three weeks (still working in the mountains on my comic book).
Thanks a whole lot to all you people who watch, comment and fave my stuff!
Done with pencil, colored in photoshop CS3 and using textures (don't remember where that one came from, though, sorry!!)
aahh j'aime les détails des fenêtres et de la jupe de la bohémienne... quel beau boulot! Et bon courage pour ton livre! tu bosses dans les montagnes de chez toi pour t'isoler du tumulte de la ville? classe!
Oh that's... really beautiful. Personally I prefer this design to the disney one *killed*, just because it has more of the gypsy FEEL to it. That's the thing that drove me nuts with the disney one, that it didn't *feel* like any romanian I'd ever seen, and it felt too... contrived? But this has a beautiful natural feel to it. Like you know that every step she takes is going to be accompanied by the subtle jingle of bells and coins (pure hell if you're trying to silently sneak away from the soldiers), and all the little details just... fit. Nice work.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
