Call this the prequel to the two "Miss Mischief" pics.

Since neither Miss Mischief or Miss Mischief Strikes Again showed the true extent of the platform sandals Cynthia here was wearing, I decided to show you just how big they were. And they're... pretty big. Which is understandable if you consider that Cynthia is the shortest member of my group of characters. So here she is in her room, admiring her purchase. She didn't buy them to go tromping through squishy stuff, her motivations are much more mundane--simple vanity. The other stuff that happened was purely opportunistic happenstance. Or something like that.

Technical:
At first this pic was just going to be a backdrop-less image. But I just can't stand to let many images go like that. And I need to practice drawing "lived in" living spaces to set my characters in. It just makes the pic more visually interesting. The pillow was drawn from a Martha Stewart collection flyer from Macys (you can actually see it on their site), but the quilted bedsheet was just an afterthought for more visual frills and not based on any specific design. Same for the cell phone and the sandals--they're just composites of design features I've seen here and there. And if you haven't noticed, I also tried to have Cynthia's breasts assume a proper shape given the position she's in--they're not normally that prominent.
