Outside our small safe place flies Mystery... A snake beneath the forest floor, a whisper: Melusine

In a project I'm working on, one of the characters wears a dark veil over half her face, or at least part of her face.  So far I've studied a lot of bridal headresses for inspiration and researched some kick ass examples of medieval veils, but none yet have captured the look I see in my mind.  Before drawing the character concept, I decided to use the sheers I have at home.  The above photos are the self reference I came up with.  I took over 65 photos in all and you can, if you really want to, see them at my Myspace photo album.

 

Later this week I'll display the resulting character sketch.
