Description

A greyscale piece commissioned by a patron. Yay patrons! I was pretty much just allowed to go for it. The original idea was "punk" but I veered off course into some combination of street thug/seedy sailor in the back streets of Bangkok. Which is maybe truer to punk than Green Day, so ya know.

This pulled a lot of photo reference, modelling, and research together, including classic sailor tattoos, Sailor Moon, punk girls and punk fashion, and even lots of ripped up denim skirts, to experiment with the best way to distress them. There are also lots of subtle and not-so-subtle callbacks to the character in the art, which I'll leave to you all to Waldo. I do a lot of research before I start work on a commission, and a number (3-4, minimum) of designs and prelims. I hope it shows.

Kinda love the expression I got out of her, with the slight, holier-than-thou smirk.

She ended up looking a bit trashier than normally comes from me, but given the attitude and character attributes I was going for, it's appropriate.
I could go on about composition and design choices, but that could get boring as much as I personally love talking about it, so if you've questions about the technical stuff, just comment away!
