Sabine - Initial Design

I thought I would do something a bit different today, and post my initial design for 'Sabine' [link] . When I create my art, I go through several stages, all of which I find visually pleasing. More often than not, what my original plan was, and what the outcome is, are two vastly different things. I try not to think too hard about the end result, and let it unfold as naturally and spontaneously as possible. 'Sabine' was one of those pictures. This was the precursor to my final version...and I almost stopped here. But something get nagging at me to keep going, so I did - and I'm very glad I did. But, I figured some people might be interested to see what I have, prior to my final version.

So... here it is! Please refer to the original final version of Sabine for all credits, here: [link]
