First version. One half hour to sketch; one half hour to ink; one half hour to scan and clean. Then five and a half hours to color, and four hours of sleep before getting up to go to an eight A.M. shift the next day.

Client requested smaller nose, slyer smile and emphasis on pearls. This is not the final version; the nose will be smaller still and any lingering problems will be cleared up in version 3.

Nose job, facelift, minor adjustments to hands and hip. Shoulder problems ignored due to the fact that they would have to be entirely repainted (as the lower half of the face required.) Thanks to everyone who helped point out problems (and solutions!)

Original avatar that client wished artwork based on.
