Ya never run out of companions!

Another companion...

Another random "Sara" at the beach.

Had I picked the name "Edna," I suspect this drawing would be a whole 'nother story.

My take on the "mahar" scene from Burroughs's "At the Earth's Core."

Another stranger named Sara.

018

I looked up some random people's beach photos, for something to draw. All of them named Sara!

Here's a crusty old broad who just trucks around the fantasy realm, killin' folks whom she reckons need killin'.

It's like if Hellboy were a crazy bag lady.

I guess this is my version of a Teela trading card.

I used an 'HB' (#2) pencil this time. Can't say I liked it; too sloshy. I prefer the slightly harder 'F'.

Guess who! This one's a contribution to this caricature jam.

Another Who companion.

I'm taking the plunge: one sketch posted per day for the next year, a la Cory Walker's challenge. Check out Cory's links to others who are also on board. I'm two sketches behind so far this year, but better late than never.

Today (Jan 4th) we have the X-Men's Dazzler (costume courtesy Silvestri's run). I wasn't sure whether to give her large breasts or small, so I tried both. Small breasts fit her frame better, and appear less exploitative, but since she's a girlie, insecure rock star, I figured she might have gotten a boob-job to boost her career, or might even have been well-endowed from her early teens, resulting in her superficial self-image. My wife maintains that Dazzler is the busty type, and I'm inclined to agree, but given her thin frame and scant costume, a large bosom almost seems too much. Thoughts?
