Shotgun Girl
Hmmm, nothing new here. Let's see... the hair, the eyes, the shirt, the bra, the tights,
the socks, the boots, the flat 2D gun, the nondescript pedestal - yep, it's all there.
I guess there's something to be said for consistency. After suffering from several
weeks of springtime blues and a complete lack of focus in my life, I decided to force
myself to sit down and draw in an attempt to find inspiration and refuel my creativity.
My first attempt was less than satisfying, but as I was flipping through a Frederick's
Of Hollywood catalog looking for a clothing reference, I stumbled across
a picture that did inspire me. So once again I cheated a drawing by modifying a
photo reference from a fashion catalog (back to that "consistency" thing). It quickly
started to take shape and I became exceedingly pleased with the results. I hadn't
drawn a shotgun in several years, and the SPAS-12 looked like a gun this girl would
enjoy handling.
