“Allison Miller as Tuff-Girl”
Graphite on paper.
21.6 cm x 27.9 cm (8.50 inch x 11.00 inch), 2009.
With this drawing I cast actress Allison Miller (“Kings” (TV 2009), “Blood: The Last Vampire” (2009), “17 Again” (2009)) in the title role. It might not be the best bit of casting since she doesn’t have an uncanny resemblance to Janine Turner (the initial primary model for Tuff-Girl’s civilian identity, Debby Durrance), and she’s doesn’t at all appear to be half Asian. But she does appear to be tiny and someone the bad guys would underestimate.
Here I minimized the eye mask considerably to reveal more of her face which is drawn a bit too full to be more than a moderately good likeness. Already I’m making Hollywood concessions. In my conception she would answer the question “why do you wear a mask?” with “because a broken nose really hurts,” inferring that she’s built in some sort of guard in the bridge of the mask.
I'm not terribly much in love with the new version of Blogger’s layout options. Note how now the images are centered - which is in response to Blogger default of running succeeding text to the right of left placed images. Also I haven’t been able to figure out how to make images links.
