Description Considering Danielle is the driving creative force behind the whole underwater photography concept at the center of Off the Deep End, I'm surprised I don't draw her underwater more often. Mostly it's because, in-universe, she's usually behind the scenes as the photographer. But every so often, I figure she likes to model a bit too. And who better to accompany her than her sister Courtney?

In the backstory I conceived for the series, Courtney was Danielle's first underwater model, back in their high school days when all Danielle had to work with was an $8 disposable waterproof camera from Target. Even now, as a devoted mother to Jamie and Spencer's cousin Joshua, she still finds time to dive in and contribute to whatever funky new underwater project her sister's got going this week. 'Cuz that's what siblings are for, am I right?

They both look like they're having a good time.

Now I'm wondering if this is the first time we've ever seen the mother's navel or if it was revealed before.

Speaking of which, I also wonder if you've ever drawn outies before...

I've drawn her a few times in the past - she was in that big underwater barbecue scene I drew a few years ago, and I also did a comic story where Jamie and Spencer spent a weekend at her house - but she is one of the lesser utilized characters in the series.

I also did a comic that I never posted on DA, where we see her contributing to one of Danielle's art projects. It was a video project, where Danielle rigs up a video camera at the bottom of a fish tank, and Courtney dips her face in the water and bubble-talks incomprehensibly to the camera about an issue that's important to her. In Danielle's words, it's meant to be a commentary on how often women's voices are silenced by the society they live in. I got inspired to draw it after I found this: vimeo.com/49212469

Actually, I have - exactly once! One of my frequent experiments in using underwater photo reference to achieve more realistic hair and clothing effects: underwatertoons.deviantart.com…

A strictly non-canonical scene, but a pretty good visual representation of the relationship between Tina and Patricia.

I would love a portrait of Rita, it would be nice to see her underwater with an expression between the happy and the confused as to say "it's weird, but very nice"

Nice little video - I can see why you were inspired, hehe
