I recently read a really charming and poignant graphic novel story, called I Kill Giants, which was written by Joe Kelly (of Man of Action Studios) and drawn by J.M. Ken Niimura, and published by Image Comics. The comic is about a young girl named Barbara Thorson, who's a troubled outsider (getting into trouble at school, bullies, etc.), and imagines herself as a slayer of monsters in a fantasy world, being a D&D freak and all. (Somewhat similar to Pan's Labyrinth.)
I sort of thought or Barbara as a more badass version of The Mighty B!'s Bessie Higgenbottom, in that, despite their differences, they're both "nerdy" bespectacled characters! And then, it finally dawned on me; "I should do a drawing of Bessie as Barbara!" And here it is, drawn tonight on tablet in Photoshop.
I think my Bessie drawing skills are getting better! :)
