Fanny Wins!
Fanny McRollo was the top vote-getter at the Fist-A-Cuff Arena-Girl Challenge! Thanks to all who voted for her! There is a new illustration of Fanny ( in the official FACA swimsuit! ) at the fist-a-cuffs site.
Also did a quick sketch of Fanny in celebration of her win ( she looks like she's copping a bit of a Hollywood attitude-- )
Been trying to loosen up my drawings a bit. I often have a tendency to overwork a drawing and lose the spontaneity. Though my drawings tend to get a bit stiff at times, I also feel a need to rework stuff so everything is in the right place. The need for accuracy, and the need for spontaneity are always at war. Something I need to work on--somehow bringing the two together in harmony.
This series of drawings shows the loose initial sketch progressing to the eventual tighter one.

Congrats Benton- you deserve it! You won because of your technical drawing skill, but more importantly because you made a character that people were intrigued by. Fanny's a groovy looking gal, and all these bonus pictures of her on your blog are the icing on the cake!
Congrats!! well deserved.
Love the "looser" approach as well.
Would love to see some Fanny sequentials....

Congratulations!!! I love the fact that she "feels" like a real person on the screen. Great emotion!
mrcolinp-I really appreciate your comments, as I do tend to be so myopically technical at times I forget to add the "fun"! I made a conscious effort to loosen up and get a little wackier with this one...thanks for noticing!
iggy art- Your work is AMAZING! Wild stuff! Check it out everyone!
ccarman- Thanks--and because of folks like you, we may be seeing those sequentials on this site sometime soon...
hodeanie- Thanks! And for you political junkies of the left wing persuasion, check out hodeanie's newly reopened blog!
