The Earth Elemental

Again a piece of my own art.
The Twentyfirst in Line.
A bit erotic, a bit of Phantasy.
I'd like to share here.
Hope you like it

This Twentfirst one I reveal here is the piece I called;
"The Earth Elemental"
This piece was made from a living model,Sabine. Made in 1994. 
Sabine was a friend of mine in a suburb of my town (Beijum of Groningen).
She was silent and often demure, but I saw within her her golden heart, bejeweled eyes and strong sense of what's right and wrong. That's why I made her into an Earth Elemental.
Rising slowly from the ground, the grass as her hair, the vines as her clothing, two sparkling rubies as her eyes.
I myself like this piece.

I did this with a Bicballpoint on lined paper (actually between my administrative work between customers and work when I was bored, and cut the art out later). 
My initial idea was creating interesting letterpaper adorned with illustrations, but the art slowly grew and grew, until it covered almost all of the paper.
This was one of the first pieces where i removed the background from the sketch and did not use them in the piece itself, to give some rest otherwise it became too cluttered,
