'Covergirl' Jacky Faber

Description

Fun fact: Writers rarely have ANY input on the covers that appear on their books. Particularly not when said novels are "penny dreadfuls" in 1800s London.

The irrepressible, irresponsible Mary "Jacky" Faber, teenage girl pirate extraordinaire, confronts the covers to her biographies (as related by her dear friend, Amy Trevelyne). Kinda a bad sign when your life story fits into the genres of Gothic literature and Penny Dreadfuls...

If nothing else, the I played with my drawing style a bit in doing the "covergirl" version of Jacky. As she's described in the third book, when Jacky first finds the book "Bloody Jack" on sale. 'Firing off two pistols, with a pipe in her mouth'. So I went with a pin-up/Heavy Metal (yes, at several points in drawing this, Sammy Hagar was playing in my head...), maybe a touch of Dean Yeagle?

Anyhoo, the girls are justifiably traumatized by the contemptible covers tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php… attached to their work.

Lord help them if they should ever run into the model...
