"Kari and Isabella"
Valentine's Day 2011

Isabella (c) Briana 152

This was my entry for the 2011 TMNT Valentines Day project on DeviantArt where I was paired up with Briana 152 to swap artistic valentines (I give a more in-depth explaination about the whole thing on the rambling for Briana's entry.)
Frankly, I'm not completely satisfied with how this turned out. I focused so much on getting Isabella right and making sure I did Briana's character justice that I drew her first and then included Kari as the next step. And sadly it shows. Kari a bit off model (if I could ever be accused of being on model) that she looks wonky standing next to Isabella. But maybe I'm just being my own worst judge. Briana really liked it and some people agreed with her so I guess ultimately that's all that really matters; as long as she liked it.
Harsh critisms aside, it was a very fun project and made this holiday that I'm not too fond of a little more bearable. - Jake
