My comp final was another (yeah, another) portrait of myself. This time I got to pick a favorite character from an animated movie, video game or book, and paint it in the style of another artist, preferably an illustrator.

So I have to go and be the rebel and I ended up choosing eponymous character from "Susie Q," Disney made-for-tv live action movie released in the 90s. (You can only buy this movie in like Russia, the rights for this movie are like tangled up and some shit, it was never released, not even on fucking VHS which makes Meelu want to SMASH but oh well.) It's not a particular critical success but it's a cute little movie from my childhood.

Anyway, I ended up choosing (/was strongly advised) to use Tomer Hanuka and link goes here

for my artistic reference. I don't feel it looks very much like his style but nobody really seemed to care about my opinion and so I stayed quiet.

I like the painting itself, but I look much more Latina than I normally do. Honestly, I think it's the dress. In real life it's brighter and pinker and warmer all around but fucking photoshop wasn't being a pal this time around.
