Melanie Comics #1 is incredibly valuable!!!

Earlier in the week, the cry went out from baconistasty for people to make drawings of his girlfriend Melanie, which he would then compile for her birthday, which was Thursday.

I decided, in the spirit of the things I can't draw, that I would do one.

He provided various pieces of source material, but to me the most striking pictures were ones she had taken of herself with road-rash on her face after her scooter got hit by a car.

I read through her journal entries from that time, found that it had been a mid-sized SUV that had done it, and instantly I knew what had to be done...IN THE NAME OF VENGEANCE.



The only thing I traced was the initial body of Supes, which I then trimmed and made more ladylike. Sara had to help with the...ummm..."bust area"...as my meager drawing skills can only produce a flat chest or huge breasticles. Oh, and Sara did the face--which was so tiny that few details could be added at all--because I kept drawing her like a pirate. Or a witch. Or a pirate witch.

In any event, I think I'm more prouderest of this drawing than of any I've ever done. :)
