Genie in the Lamp

I worked on this drawing from 2011 until 2018, little by little, until I had a major breakthrough with it finally and got it to a stage I consider "finished."

Below is an animated GIF.  I made this using an old antiquated piece of software (Magic Morph) that is useful in morphing images from one to another.  For example, you can take two portraits and make the face morph into another face, similar to Michael Jackson's Black or White video.  Rather than starting with two different images, I started and ended with the same image, and used control points to animate the background and foreground smoke effects.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.
