i was reluctant to do these at first, both because i wasn't familiar with Sheena and even though i like aspects of the "jungle girl" concept overall the archetype doesn't sit well with me sociologically-speaking. but i decided what the hey and to take some liberties with the character and see what i could do with her!

All I know is that, content aside, these are beautifully executed and go above and beyond what you usually see done on sketch cards.

Of course the only reason I mention the content is because of your comment on the subject matter which I think you did a great job of translating into something more than just a "jungle girl" theme.

thank you!! :)
i was actually intimidated at first in doing sketch cards because i've seen some artists do really intense, fully-rendered, painterly stuff and i'm over here scribbling with a brush and markers. so it's great to hear you like these, thanks!

I like your liberties, she makes more sense with them!

I'm more partial to redheads and brunettes, but I could definitely live quite comfortably with a jungle girl concept more like this one. She doesn't look like some some rain thin, or soft bodied, pinup model, but rather a gal hardened by a life in the wild. Scars, animal skins, and flint tipped spear to boot, though somehow able to avoid tanning. There's a nice balance to cheesecake and function you pulled off here with her look. I'm even more curious as to what you'd do with other variations on warrior woman types.

thanks!
somebody else pointed out the lack of tan over on my blog (or was that you too? XD), and i'll definitely take that into account for the two more Sheena cards i have to do, which are return cards so i have a bit more leeway there without the licensor breathing down my neck. ;)
