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. :)
