Topless Drunken Zombie Mexicans

I don’t know how to explain. Maybe I shouldn’t. Suffice it to say in an email a friend used the term “topless drunken zombie Mexicans,” and shortly thereafter I found myself drawing the following:

See, the thing is, I like drawing hot chicks. But I have no *reason* to draw hot chicks. You might say, hey, baby, you don’t need no reason, but it becomes difficult to explain to people why I have a sketchbook full of hot imaginary women.

And now I’ve discovered a challenge, and thus a reason: create the hot chick from four random adjectives. Right now I`m working on one from four drawn from Lowell Thomas` This Side of Hell: first fancy mint Moroccan. She’s coming along rather well, I think — quite sh-bompin` — and she`ll be done shortly.

Anyway, if you like progressions of things, check this out (click on any to view a larger version):

Fresh out of the scanner

With the colors blocked in, before shrinking for fine work

Accents, finessing and way too many light effects, but that’s how I like it.

I worry that I like the black-and-white version more than the full-color version — prolly because I`m a better penciler than colorist. If you want to do your own coloring job, you can get the big-ass original scan by clicking here. Fun with jpegs!

I also have a much bigger image of the final product, but a-a-a-apparently I can’t remember to bring such things to upload. Will add soon, for those who like topless drunken zombie Mexicans enough to want it 1000 pixels wide. Um. I guess that would be me.
