Trouble in Paradise

Here we have an exercise in frustration, folks. This was originally done by request as a cover for the entertaining comic, Strangers in Paradise by it's creator, Terry Moore. Unfortunately, the finished product didn't fit what Terry wanted, so he decided not to use it. Hey, I understand...I wouldn't want a cover that didn't fit what I thought the character should look like either. Too bad, though, as a painting it turned out pretty good...lots of detail, that's for sure. And lots of research.
