NEW EDIT: Well the geisha portrait you saw before this piece was really an unfin version done purely for college. I infact had another plan for this piece back a long time ago to enter this piece into the next Exotique book which is now the 4th issue. So over a while i been finishing it off add more details and crisping the image up overall. Im pretty pleased with it. i just hope the judges like it and i get into the book. Wish me luck 
EDIT: I added a new watermark so its easier to view the art. I hope you all can enjoy the art better now
This piece was created for one of my graphic design college course projects which was to create a games cover design and the name of the game was Underworld.
This piece was created using mixed media. I used both traditional and digital medias which were Photoshop and pencils ranging from 8B to 5H.
I wanted to use to base this project around Mythology therefore I came up with the idea basing my image on the Blue Wife. A Japanese Youkai or demon. She is known to dress up like an old court woman with a deformed blue face however I have developed this so that she is a Geisha or Maiko girl. I wanted a strong contrast between beauty and obscure that is why I used a Geisha girl.
Also in this piece I wanted to give a very dreamy like look which is why I used a almost blurry/ pastel look to the whole image.
I hope you like it and I would love some critique to help me obtain the distinction I am after.
Thank you for your time.

Old mother hupboard went to the cupboard to fetch her poor dog a bone.
Went she bent over, Rover took over and gave her a bone of his own.

Through the darkness, to the end of the world, I think of you.
On the reverse side of my eyelids, why is it the one who is always running away – you?

In trying to think of any critique, it occurred to me geisha (and maiko) don't paint the whole bottom lip.
"White makeup causes all sorts of curious illusions; if a geisha were to paint the entire surface of her lips, her mouth would end up looking like two big slices of tuna."
Then I remembered it's more fashionable now to paint the entire mouth. At one time it was the fashion to only paint the bottom lip. I guess it's always changing. Anyway, that's where artistic license comes in. You can't really get anything wrong.
