Just in time for "Shoot at the British Day" in the USA... not that affects me at all, myself being an Aussie...
Pencils by Jay Anacleto.
Done for Jay's agent to sell as a print at SDCC 2012 and other cons this year.
The skin on WW took forever! Jay had gone bonkers with the deep grey shading there and it had to be drastically washed out. I think I'm getting better at actually doing these sorts of soft tone pics though. I was trying for that WW2 'Betty Page pinup poster' kinda look here with the patriotic theme and all. I pushed the flag back into the background a bit at the top. It looks ok fully saturated but I think this is better overall. Puts the focus on WW more because that flag is big and bright otherwise.
The "Proud... Strong" words are part of the pencils and there was no way to remove them.
Now for the first time in almost 3 months I'm commission free!!! - I can finally do some stuff just for fun!
LOL! It's pretty funny because now, the British and former colonies are like our only allies. "Hey dad, remember that time when we went in the back yard and slugged it out? That was intense."
The origin story I read said that they fashioned the outfit for her based on the American flag the pilot had on his uniform to signify that Diana's visit was a peaceful one. And several years later, she stands right there alongside us. Glad to have you aboard, madam. Glad to have you aboard. Happy 4th
