<\/center><\/p>\nWell, well, well, now we’ve come full circle. She’s the one you’ve seen the most, if you’ve been paying attention round here. But what do you *really* know about dear Ruby, eh? “You think you know me?” as she is fond of saying with a sneer (okay, at least in my imagination.) <\/p>\n
When we had to decide which character to make first, I said it immediately, Ruby is the one! Through working out her character and style we solidified what all the characters would be…. how can I say, Before her, we had no idea what we were making. Ruby helped us figure all of it out. What’s more, she’s the girl who, for me, totally epitomized what I felt about my time growing up. What happens to her, could have happened to me. She’s like a friend I never had but still remember… or a long lost sister of my dreams…. Anyway, all that is to say, she’s been through a lot during the long process of getting here. To a final image.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nThe process started with lots of looking around on the Internet for images and inspiration. I found her absolutely in the short skirts and red knees of Fuco Ueda<\/a>‘s girls and the undulating necks of Audrey Kawsaki<\/a>‘s fantasies, pretty and distant. But, what kind of girl was she? Had to figure that out. Then I sketched around on paper and in computer til I had her. Ah, nostalgia \ud83d\ude09<\/a> <\/a> <\/center><\/p>\n

\nThere are the usual beauty shots of her in the gallery<\/a>, and some other things will be showing up on flickr<\/a>. I made a strange and unusual image of her for your desktop<\/a>, hope you like it!<\/p>\n
