I’m have started to prepare some stuff for an exhibition this spring in Stockholm. Two of the prints will be modified versions of my nun illustrations from 2001/2002. These illustrations where never planed to be used bigger then I had them on my original website from 2002, but they have been printed up to 140 x 140 cm which is insane when all details looks pretty bad. However, I thought it was an excellent way to both improve my painting techniques and fix these old illustrations for print.
This is still work in progress but it will end up pretty close to this I think. I have some stuff left to do in her face and neck and I’m still playing with the design. And yeah, the logo is not set yet as well.
Size 50 x 70 cm, 300 dpi.
The original illustration was never mentioned to be bigger then 800 pixels high.

We all know that a lot can change in 10 years … I’m impressed that the changes are minimal and yet still make this feel up-to-date for 2011-2012 (like the new hair texture)
kudos Robert, great work on a great original !

A very nice update on a already nice drawing. Your nuns have been a favorite of mine for some time now. Keep the nuns coming!

Yeah, I love the nuns. They are part of what makes the design chapel identity one of my favorites. I have one on my desktop now. :)

Is the 2011 version a vector paint? If it is, I can’t believe!

Thanks :) No it is only made in Photoshop. I wanted to keep the original feeling so I tried to keep as much as possible.
