Aaaaaand just so you knooooow, a portion of the proceeds from the night will benefit Gigi's Playhouse Down Syndrome Awareness Center! That's right. As bad-arse as derby girls are, we all have hearts of gold!
Here's the flyer with all the info!

| I don't like how you still can't see the full-size image when you click on it :/ If it's too small to see all the details, just right-click and select "view image" to take you to the full-size. |
You might notice that I didn't redraw the same derby girl that I had used in the last 2 fundraiser posters. This one is actually loosely based on our own Millie Brawl (sans glasses)!

In an attempt to tie The King into the drawing without resorting to a bouffant and rhinestone-studded jumpsuit, I tried to mimic the costume and classic pose of his from Jailhouse Rock. In fact, I printed out the original photograph and then sketched on top of it to get the pose as accurate as possible. I scanned the entire page at 300 dpi, then doubled the size. I used this as my sketch layer and then inked and colored on separate layers in photoshop with the help of my trusty tablet.
Again, I was working on an extremely tight schedule (my brother's wedding is in 2 days) so the drawing here was left at flat colors. I plan on eventually going back in to add shading--perhaps for the bout programs. For the time being, however, this will do.
I'm also thinking that from now on (or at least as often as possible) I might choose actual members of our team to base my future derby girl drawings off of. Would be kind of fun, no? Realistically I don't know that I'd ever be able to draw everybody, so I'll have to come up with a fair system. I'll post about that here once I've figured that out.
