Nancy Heart... Inspirations

After the last post relating to Nancy Heart, I really hadn't given her much further thought, mainly because at the time I felt as though I'd more or less settle with what I'd created then. After a much needed mull, I've determined this is not the case, especially with the final character aesthetic nailed thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Wright.

To rewind for a second, I want to share [as I did a couple of months ago with Dr. Wright] some images of some female celebrities and characters whom I wanted to inform the look of Nancy. Firstly, Brooke Shields... a much younger Brooke Shields:

And, undoubtedly, there will be those who draw parallels to Jessica Rabbit, and as such an iconic figure, it was hard not to draw inspiration on a general scale. So here she is, just because:


Beauu-dif-ful! Now on with the next post.
