The Black One

Another bhakti picture, this time of Kali!
I really wanted to draw Kali, especially on black paper with gel pens. It felt like a good way to capture her name and imagery, without overloading the senses.
(If you didn't know Kali's name translates into "the black one", and is often portrayed with either blue or black skin)
I didn't add her skirt of arms, just because I prefer the minimalist nude Kali.

I'm happy with how it came out. The unedited original version, the gel ended up smearing some (new type of pen then I used to use). But with the computer let me fix it up, and even brighten the colors. So I'm glad~
