Since It Met With Her Approval...

...here is my latest Heroic Portrait.



As I said, Stacy's instructions were a bit vague. She requested a "combo of Power Girl and a pirate lady."
For those who don't know comic books, Power Girl is sort of an alternate version of Supergirl, though she is different from Supergirl in two major ways: her boobs.
Originally conceived to be voluptuous, it's been said that artist Wally Wood had intended to make her breasts larger with each issue until the editors finally noticed.
That's a trend that seems to be continuing almost 30 years later (do a Google Image Search for "Power Girl" and you'll see what I mean).
In any case, since I didn't see any kind of direct connection between Power Girl and pirates, I took this to mean "a pirate lady with big boobs."
And there you have them...err, I mean, it.
As I pointed out to Stacy, it seems as though a little bit of St. Pauli Girl found its way into the picture as well, but I think it's all for the good.
I have to say that I like this one a lot (and not just because of the big boobs), and am very pleased with how it turned out, especially considering that I cranked it out relatively quickly.
