FULLVIEW FOR ULTRA-MEGA-UBER DETAILS!!!! DOWNLOAD ONLY AVAILABLE FOR NEWSKI UNTIL HE TELLS ME HE'S GOTTEN THE FILE. NO STEALING YOU LITTLE BRATS. D:<
So this amazing person who cosplayed as Hellboy at ACEN commissioned me to draw a $10 marker and ink picture of Gertrude Yorkes (aka Arsenic) from Runaway comics. Having no clue what the heck he was talking about, I researched it and found out this amazing character is not your typical tall, thin gorgeous super heroine that you'd normally see. She's short, "thick-boned," and is Jewish. Oh.... and she has a pet dinosaur named Old Lace.
So I give you... Arsenic... and a plushie Old Lace. XD
OHMYGOODNESS I fell in love with this character so much! It's a wonder I haven't heard anything about her! She's completely awesome and so much fun to draw! I am infinitely happy with this piece, though there are a couple spots where the markers bled. ><
Still, I am SO SO SO SO happy with the way this turned out.
Thanks to Newski, who commissioned it! It's only $10 for something like this folks!
artwork (c) me character (c) Marvel (i think?)
sketched with mechanical pencil, inked with copic multiliners, and colored with prismacolor and copic markers, as well as some highlighting on the lips with a white conte crayon= approx. 5 hours? I don't know I wasn't counting... I was just having too much fun
p.s. the upload on here really dumbs down the colors, so you miss out on some of the finer details of it, such as the pink in the cheeks, nose, and fingers, the dark shading of the legs, and the sharp contrast of lights and darks. at DA uploading system.

Gertrude is one of those characters that I have conflicted feelings about. In one way she's complex and refreshingly relatable, in another way she's characterized in such a true to life manner that sometimes I just want to yell at the comic book (eg. her brutal cynicism) That's part of what I like about the series, the characters are definitely fully developed, strengths, flaws and all
I love seeing her in your style and the colours are working very nicely. The facial expression is so terribly true to the character. Plus the Old Lace plushie is made of awesome, I so want one. Oo, and the pose kicks butt. Bravo!
thank you very much! hearing that the pose, plushie, and expression all succeeded, from the viewpoint of one who's actually read the comics, makes me so extremely happy! (I only found bits of info on the web about her and pieced different pics of her together from various places, so I was really crossing my fingers ><
