Boopsie

This started out as a modern take on Betty Boop but as she came to life (and evolved a neck) I decided she was merely a look-alike.... thus a back story:

Animated actress "Boopsie" arrives at the prestigious "Cartoon Awards" decked out in a designer gown, shoes, and clutch. She is even holding her golden ticket for entry - not that she needs it - everyone in the animated world knows she is up for a "Toony" award for her incredible portrayal of Betty Boop in the heart wrenching toon-biopic "My Life Without a Neck - the story of Betty Boop"..... well you get the idea.

I used picks of Betty Boop for reference but did not use any stock images. The background matting is a fractal image I rendered that had great color depth. All the painting is with Artweaver v.5 airbrush tools except the hair and I used the acrylics brush for that.

Be kind - this is my first attempt at anything like this
