Madeline Smithers-Sheffield

Madeline - coloured pencil and ink

I don't do this usually but today I simply have to double post. Me and my friends were playing Call of Cthulhu yesterday and I got a huge inspiration for drawing. My charachter's situation is namely quite exceptional. Madeline Smithers-Sheffield, a 1920's dance girl from London, has had incredible luck with the "evil spirit" that is chasing our charachters. She has completely avoided the dementating attacks of the spirit (which I cannot name even though I off-game know who it is, for my friends read my blog and don't wish to be spoiled). However, she has got a dilemma of her own: there are three men who are interested in her at some level and she doesn't know what to do.

In the picture one of the men, a sweet scottish bartender Barney Sweetham has given her the best whiskey he has and she didn't take it as strongly as I had hoped. She was totally drunk and even kissed Barney on his cheek. After that Barney carried her upstairs to a sofa on which she passed out and had the most freudian dream about all of the three men: one against a minibar, one on the deck of a yacht, and one on a pool table. That's why she is blushed. It's a shame that I couldn't draw the blue garter she accidentially showed when she was moaning in her sleep. You can guess that Barney was quite red when he saw her.

I (surprisingly) used ink and coloured pencil in the picture. Notice the pale pink background, which is hardly visible. It is supposed to reflect the feelings going through her head at that very moment.
