Even if you don't know who she is, what she does. She is a real survivor. She is really a truly beautiful, strong and boldly courageous human being. If you can even offer 5 dollars you are showing your support in her incredibly difficult and inspiring journey. I admire her profoundly. Just read her story, it's so inspiring and heart breaking at the same time. I donated what I could.
"What's my opportunity here?' is a question I never cease asking myself. I am a woman who doesn't allow life's challenges to get in the way of my growth. In fact, I believe challenges are to be overcome in order to transform our lives and allow us all to find the joy that is our birthright. And I have been challenged in the last decade.
My belief was put to the test when I was diagnosed in 2002 with Multiple Sclerosis, then 18 months later with Stage 2 Parotid (Salivary) Gland Cancer. 'What's my opportunity here?' was the question that kept repeating itself. My back was subsequently operated on due to a completely extruded disc in 2010. In 2013 I slipped and fell on the ice and needed surgery in my hand due to a ruptured tendon. Also one of the main MS symptoms are many many migraines. At one point they were up to 25 a month. Thankfully they are now down to about 10. All of this ... has led to bills, some of which I am still paying off without rancor.
Now again my belief has been put to the test. On April 2nd I went back to the Hospital for back surgery again. This time needing a fusion of my spine. I spent 4 days in the hospital post surgery due to drainage tubes, IV's and pain management that could not be medically supervised at home. I am now home and bills are coming in, which doesn't allow for ease of healing due to stress. The stress of which has caused an MS relapse which has come in the form of severe vertigo. This doesn't make movement easy, which is crucial to my healing. One doesn't want to topple over after a back fusion, that's not such a good idea...
So what is my opportunity here? It's to acknowledge that I need help. Help with my bills. Once I am given the go ahead to go back to work it will be part time, and in conjunction with all my regular bills I won't be able to pay my previous doctors bills let alone my new ones. I also acknowledge how so very grateful I am for being allowed the time to get well and for having those around me who love me. Yet I need help. And if you are able to do so I would be so grateful to all of you for the rest of my healthy life. So.... Thank You, Thank You from the bottom of my heart. I am honored and humbled by your support.
With All My Love,
~Sarah "

π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah
π: 0 β©: 1
You took away the reason to fight.
π: 0 β©: 1
oh well thats because the guy always ends up with a black eye now no would likes that to happen to themselves,would they?
π: 0 β©: 1
Grabbing each other, pulling their hair and slapping; something's telling me that this wouldn't end up with a black eye
π: 0 β©: 1
catfights are brutal and the one thing i find astonishing is how the pretty voice one normally hears suddenly turns totally different.
i mean someone has to stop them and the same person would end up with a black eye and the funniest situation i can think of is if a guy gets caught in girl fight,he gets his face all scratched with nails,its totally hilarious and hurts like hell.

The original b/w drawing featured an April's sexy ass (in tight leather trousers 
Also it looks like the girls are holding each others hands. It would be a nice couple!

It's not the best. Working with tablet is still so new to me.
π: 0 β©: 1

It's not exactly like this. I tried it a few times before, but this if finally some piece it's not such a shame to publish
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, come on!
Don't be too hard on yourself.
π: 0 β©: 1
I am not. Or maybe a bit sometimes. But it just helps me to improve

Cool! Good work with hair, as usual.
Although Zoe looks a bit cross-eyed.
As a variant, you could apply more "aggressive" shading - darker shadows, brighter highlights, to make figures look more volumetric. Although it can depends from lighting.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, because I find hair with tablet very easy to paint
That's because she's watching something that's close to her
I'm not very good at digital painting. But look at the background, it's very peaceful. Aggresive shading wouldn't be so good, don't you think?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, the background fits (and I quite like it).
Shading may be right if we assume that there are many soft sources of light (or one weak ambient source), so there are no strong shadows and highlights.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, let's let it as it is. Maybe next time I could do something more agressive, specially for you
