This is another mixed-media creation that was an absolute blast to put together! I wanted to capture a little attitude, a lot of personality, and a bold pop-art aesthetic. Starting with model portrait, I reimagined the image using custom vector shapes, layered patterns, and dramatic silhouettes.
The vibrant purple skin tones, electric lime-green background, oversized natural hair, and contrasting black elements give this piece its unmistakable retro pop-art feel. I added halftone textures and radiating graphic lines to create movement, depth, and that larger-than-life comic-book energy.
The result? A little retro, a little funky, and unapologetically bold.

Keeping the halftone on the skin while the hair stays pure solid black makes the silhouette hit harder than a full texture would. Did you draw the radiating lines by hand or build them from a radial blend, and was the green texture from the same halftone set?
