Matching production background
I have always liked this shot. I saw it in person at Rick’s booth a few years ago, but couldn’t buy it at the time. He ended up selling it later that day. Since then, it has shown up for sale a few times. There is an incredible amount of subtle detail in the grays of her body. It really is a beautiful piece of work. It is too bad that none of that beauty scans well. If I had to go by the scans alone, I would not have been too impressed. Fortunately, I remembered it from the conference and knew what it really looked like.
The cel comes from her death scene. She has such interesting design and she seems like such an great character. It is too bad that we never get to know her well before she dies.
