I keep forgetting to reply to people when I post these.

Yep! One is ten-year-old Kelly, the other is how I picture her at around age twenty or so.
Audrey wrote:Beautiful as always, Tiger. I love the color of 10 year old kelly's shirt, as weird as it sounds! It's like a brownish gray that's blended together perfectly and actually looks like a shirt, rather than a block of color. Same with her jeans! And the wrinkles in her jacket look perfect. You're so great on the small details that help make the drawing even better overall!
Thank you so much!

I work really hard on trying to make those details work, so it's nice to see that it paid off. I actually own a black leather jacket, so I took a couple of selfies and used them as references for the wrinkles and folds.
Audrey wrote:Wow, Tiger, this is gorgeous! The concept is adorable and I can't get over how incredible your colors/shadows/shading/everything is. There's a lot of depth to it if that makes sense? Especially in Liz's hair, it's beautiful. I love your art!
Liz's hair was probably the most fun for me to illustrate; I love drawing waves and curls, and red hair is the best to color.

Very detailed happy picture!

That's such a Marvin thing to do, isn't it? Sees a Mandy appreciation group hug and gets in on it. ^_^
Ameraka wrote:A lot of motion and depth and vivid color - I love this. All are lovely. You should illustrate for something. AIO, maybe.
Well, thanks! I'd be honored to illustrate for AIO, to be totally honest. If AIO were to relaunch an animated series someday, I would so love to be the art director.

I accept that look for Dern as canon. And how refreshing, in fan art, Marvin doesn't look so dimwitted you have an irrational urge deep down to punch his teeth out.
Haha, is this some PF shade I'm seeing?
This is a drawing I did in Photoshop; it's Mandy Straussberg in the "Blooming" palette from
this color palette challenge I found on Tumblr.

it's not about 'deserve'. it's about what you believe. and i believe in love
