Deborah Wallis ~ A Google+ Portrait Commission

Tonight I'm posting a Google+ Portrait Commission of Deborah Wallis, AKA +Deborah Wallis on Google+. Deborah and I have actually been friends for some time now. I met her on Linkedin through her group Freelancers Showcase. Deborah is a Transcriptionist by trade, a lover of cartoons and comics, comic art books, photography, classic music and rock 'n' roll. Lover of classic cartoon and rock 'n' roll videos as well as a collector.

Deborah is also the founder and owner of One On One Transcription which provides top-drawer corporate, organizational and entrepreneurial principals with exceptional transcription services one-on-one. Her clients include pioneers of the human potential movement, award-winning authors and writers, copywriters, researchers, and other industry influencers who demand a dedicated provider that delivers flawless transcripts every time. It's a great site. Check it out.

This was a challenging commission for a couple of reasons. First of all, ladies are just hard to caricature and the lack of experience in caricaturing women doesn't help. Deborah being a comic collector was the perfect candidate for a concept that came out pretty cool. I had all sorts of comic book characters in the background and even a certain little bird on her shoulder. Well, after thinking about it we both agreed that due to the risk of copyright issues, we'd be better off eliminating the characters from the background. Below are two images of Deborah, the one on top being the source image. Hope you enjoy.











 Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be inspired!
