Inspired by a damsel in distress idea (I found the photo reference on pinterest). The photo seems to have been re-posted so many times that I wasn't able to find out who is in it and who made it. If you have any info, I'd be happy to mention them here.
I tried to capture mood of the time period around 1850s crime novel.
The biggest challenge with this was the cover up of 3 big stars in the area where I managed to blend buildings and the dark man wearing a monocle. All of this was done in two days (About 5h per sitting). The part with the girl is healed with some bits where I passed over to do some light touch ups. Let me know what you think. Cheers.
