This is my second attempt at this illustration. I used bright orange in the first version I did. The actual painting looked really cool but the scan was awful. I know better than to use that color in something that needs to be scanned and printed, but I loved how it looked in my little color comp so I used it anyway. Bad decision. I had to redo it. Here it is. I'm not sure how I feel about the final. I like the concept, but I'm not sure about this particular execution. I'll probably paint it once more, but not right away. I've been looking at this image for too long.

Hey Jackie,
This one seems farmiliar to me. Is this a redeux of an old project? (PS, that's me being sorta French....but not really at all) Looks good, as always. Although I would've giggled a bit if you had her holdin' the gun all gangsta like. You know, on the side-like, poppin' caps and all. Word.
Yes Colin it is an old project. It's cool that you remember it. I had liked the concept, but I couldn't use that particular version in my portfolio anymore because my drawing style has changed too much since then. I've wanted to redo it for years to use as a promo piece but now that it's finished I'm still not happy with it. I actually prefer the original one from years ago.
And I actually did think about her holding the gun "gangsta like" but i thought it might be unclear. This way there's no mistake that she's holding a gun.
Love the energy. I want to see more background... something that illuminates the concept. Still a great drawring.

I totally agree. I think it's the background that's bugging me too. I'm thinking that when I redo it, I'll try a red background... and I think I'll change the orientation from landscape to portrait.
Thanks for the feedback.
