thin drawing paper, graphite, watercolor

Periodic Table of Elements Series. Haven't worked on it in over a decade as of 2022. Might finish Some day. 

Iridium compounds come in green, yellow, black, brown, and I guess pink. The flouncy things on the front at the top of the corset have 7 panels each, 7,7 = 77 the atomic number of iridium. The bottom, though hard to tell with the watercolor, would be a metallic color poplin. Her gloves are yellow mesh with gears crocheted/woven/printed in. She wears a winged heart necklace, and her platinum blonde hair is a reference to iridium being a platinum-group element. Her dark green overskirt thing is meant to be a silk material with self-colored embroidered dinosaurs, referencing the iridium band in the earth's crust that is identified with the meteor/comet the annihilated them 65 million years ago. The mass of netting completing the volume of the bustle in the back is somewhat inspired by a dress that Helena Bonham Carter's wore to the Golden Globes (probably in 2011?). My reference for the pose was a red carpet photo of Amy Adams.
