Bubblegum Girl
After high school, my next major artistic milestone was starting to use photo
references for guns, which resulted in much more detailed and realistic looking
compositions. The bubblegum idea, which encapsulates the entire attitude of the
piece, I stole from "Twilight X" creator Joseph Wight. You can start to
see a paradigm shift from originality to technique with this image.
