Prog illustration, Part 2

Last year, I submitted an illustration to a contest (previously mentioned here.) It didn't win.

The winning design, chosen by none other than Mark Wilkinson, was to be used for the sleeve of a compilation CD accompanying an issue of the British magazine Classic Rock Presents Prog.

I listened to the CD, and at certain risk of sounding like a sore loser, it is pure crap, save the Steven Wilson song (from his album Insurgentes, which I've had since March? of last year.) But that doesn't matter; I really wanted to have some of my art involved in the world of progressive rock, regardless.

Anyway, here's the illustration:

Prog fans may spot a 2-level Genesis reference in the dress design...

I'm painfully aware of a few mistakes, such as the configuration of keys in the front keyboard, etc., so spare me.

Here is a link to the winner.
