Description Wow, that's back-to-back postings I've done of a blonde Betty! This one is for 's Backseat Betty contest. Photoshop action in full effect!

This is my take on kamikazekayti's cool rockabilly chick. She dig's Chevy Nova's, so I put what could be her car in the bg, detailed in her favorite colors (I did a little "Frankenstein" number on the car, incorporating parts from different Nova's that I liked, so the model isn't any particular year). Yeah, the giant wrench and big drill are kind of goofy, but I wanted to add a fun visual element to the piece.

Rev it up and go!

Thanks, buddy! It was super fun to draw, and kind of exciting to color. The "beehive" hairdo was my favorite addition to the Backseat Betty character!
