Description Jessica Rabbit for Battle-Artist (www.battle-artist.com).

This weeks challenge was this fair lady.

I thought about how to avoid just copying directly from the film, and then thought "hey -it'd be awesome trying 2 do a Michael Turner inspired version of it...just to see if i can, and how it'll turn out". Never actually tried to draw like him, but think he was such an amazing artist.
So chose to take Jessica's traits --> HUGE boobs, very narrow waist, sparkly dress and very femme fatale-ish.
The proportions being so exaggerated was kinda doing my head in tbh.

Tried as well to catch a kinda 20's old photograph-sepia feeling.
Most of the film the viewer is left in doubt whether she's good guy or bad guy, so tried to get that feel innit as well.

Btw drawing a gun from front is pretty difficult lol. It's basically like a hole with a handle...how in the world to make that look cool or menacing!?


Well this is a bit of a chancer, cause she deviates so much from the...ehm "real" Jessica, so hope u guys dig it.

Pls pls pls give some criticism, and be brutal! Every little drop is a huge help for me to improve!

Excellent! It combines Jessica Rabbit's incredible sexiness with her tough attitude amazingly well, like all the great film noir dames of her time. The way you drew her kind of reminds me of Lara Croft, except likeable and appealing.

Beautiful! I love the pose and expression you've got her with. The way you've made her dress shimmer is perfect too. Keep up the grand work!

Ooooh awesome. I'm so happy u like it. Been staring at it WAY too much now, so in the end i think i got a bit "blind" towards the drawing. It's a bit of a chancer, cause it doesn't really look like the actual cartoon character...hope it goes well

You're very welcome! It may not look exactly like her but you can still *tell* that's it's her, which I think is all that matters! I just adore the style so much.
