Just a sort of "full circle" sketch of Maisy face-to-face with her spiritual predecessor in my sketchbooks, Brigid, the steampunk cyborg from my many-times-killed-but-still-not-dead fantasy comic Etherwinds. While there are NUMEROUS differences between the two characters, both share a very gung-ho attitude, as well as a naivete' coupled with a sense of world-weariness that comes from being "born" someone else's property and then finally freed into the bigger world. They also share a similar petite build, a direct response (especially and purposefully in Brigid's case) to the cannonball-chested females that fill most comics (I'm going to have to do another picture of them meeting Frank Thorne's lesser known she-warrior, Ribit, who he, as creator of the best-known version of Red Sonia, created to rebel against the very same standard he helped popularize).
Not a very good pic of Maisy, downright awful really, but I was proud of how Brigid turned out, especially since I hadn't drawn her in so long. As if I needed further proof that my 100-year-old little girl wasn't done with me, yet...LOL

Oh I love the content and the idea behind the picture...new meets old. Really cool concept and I love Brigid's design. So cute, like Maisy.

Starpac Says:

Neat Idea...Cool!

Norithics Says:

Very cool concept. The posing is really good, I think; interaction is always hard to do. Maisy seems slightly higher and more forward in standing position than Brigid, but that's my only crit.

rikki Says:

Brigid is extremely sexy. Just had to say that.
