COMMISSION — ‘Stephanie Watson’.

“While the nation was still recovering from the Civil War, Stephanie Watson entered the world, destined to inherit a legacy of law enforcement. Raised in Charleston, South Carolina, she was captivated by her father's tales of justice and bravery as a U.S. Marshal. Samuel Watson, her father, was a figure of respect and honour, embodying the virtues of duty and courage. His influence, coupled with the lineage of lawmen and women in her family, shaped Stephanie's aspirations from an early age.” — Description of ‘Steph’, by the client.

When you want of a bombastic red-head, look no further than Stephanie Watson. A punchy lil’ lady, she wears her Marshall badge with honour. I wanted to convey Steph’s confidence and no-nonsense demeanour through her pose without taking away from her badass feminine energy. The ruffles and folds in her clothing gave me fantastic practice at cel-shading and showing dimension and texture.
