Running on the treadmill last night, I started fantasizing about spies/assassins and other tough women in comics. I played through action scenes in my head and typical body types and costumes for ladies. (Ugh).
I decided sneakers are better than boots or high heels for running (chasing/fleeing) purposes, but if I were a superhero, I wouldn’t wear a leather jacket or anything because I’m a vegetarian. That struck me as funny—an assassin/spy/whatever with no qualms about killing people, but won’t kill an animal? Hm! This scene popped in my head and I knew I wanted to illustrate it. This is just a quick pencil sketch, but I imagine her with red or purple hair!
