Bridget the Fantastic

It's funny what kind of talents emerge in the different people that belong to your family. My mother is the world's best cook/baker, not to mention the best at crafty stuff. My father has a fair bit of good art talent as well as excellent writing talents to him, and Kim is such an awesome medic it blows my mind with her confidence in procedures to patch us up. John is a computer deity in every sense of the word, and I've been told that I'm a very good author for my DBZ Fan-fictions.

Then there's Bridget.

I think she knocks us all back for a loop with her original artwork. She is so fan-frickin-tastic that real words don't even portray her true awesome-ness. Let me show ya!


This was a self-portrait she had to do as an assignment in art class. Sou Kawaii oyobi kanbashii! (So cute and sweet!) It think it looks like a younger version, even if she thinks it doesn't look like her.



This is her original character Naiyru Mikage. Yes, she has cat-like ears and a tail for she is a (nice) cat-demon-who has a very elaborate story behind her. Bridget's working on a whole manga (Japanese style comic book) for this character. I've seen a few pages in progress and can't wait to see more.



I think the best part is that she indulges her Oneesan (Big Sister) with my obsession with Dragonball. This sketch is of Vegeta's eyes as Super-Saiyan (FYI hair and eyes change from black to blond and green in a powered-up mode.) I got to see the real drawing and the scan just doesn't do it justice. I don't know it you can see it but the shading on the pupils was spectacular. She swears it wasn't a trace, (I believe her!) and was drawn from memory of watching the show with John and I.

I love her artwork so much, I've commissioned her to draw a couple of scenes out of my stories. I can't wait to see what she comes up with!

Wow -- I've seen a few quick sketches before, but never ones so detailed! Maybe she has a future in the comic book industry!

I can't wait! Halloween Time at Disneyland!
