I posted 2 versions of this piece because I like them both. I rarely get asked to redo a commission after the final stage of color and I thought I had it right when I sent the golden blonde version. the client preferred a more copper tone to her hair though, which I think looks pretty good too...
this is my "realistic" take of the sludgebucket character from "the real ghostbusters" cartoon series.
I enjoyed doing this piece. it was fun to do the over-sized fabric of her dress and to do a turban-wearing lady for the first time. one of the reasons I like drawing girls with long hair is that I can practice creating the illusion of motion in static poses by drawing flowing hair. in this piece I had to practice that effect with the long cloth.
since I enjoyed drawing the princess diana commission, decided to do another "amazon" warrior sketch - her mother, queen hippolyta. guess all the hype about a new wonder woman tv series rubbed off on me. I think I'll try to make her look more like Lynda Carter when I do a colored version of this piece.
I couldn't decide how to color the background but wanted to suggest majesty and radiance, to give the impression that she is a goddess...




My friend Jose, liked my sketch of this character when he saw it posted here and paid me to color the drawing for him. I really need to learn more about coloring blank backgrounds though...















drawn last november, started coloring yesterday... now it's done.
