I just feel like making an album cover... we all know that is a lie :P

Actually I've been wanting to try experiment with difference style for a very long time but I don't know what holding me back. :\

Anyway here is my first experiment with noir, grayscale style (is it?)

I try to make the lighting to looks as realistic as I can but it seems it still far from realistic.

I use a lot of liquify tool to make the smoke in the background

and a lot of time to clean up the artwork since at first I only plan for this to be a quick experiment but as you can see I am way over my head 8(

I still love how it came out though, level up!
