The sweetie that is the ninth in the MPRSS_HRNT series looks like she might have a punch for your face more than a kiss.  She has her bow in her hair and apparently her hairnet is advertising Yaz so watch it. This girl has only 4 periods a year and it is not good for her mental health. Plus where did those Yaz advertisements go anyway? Piled behind mountains of litigation maybe?

Now back to the piece, this one was so difficult. I kept cutting pieces short. I left the Feria box in the image and it wasn’t working. I kept having to rework the bottom layer. I cut the background wrong and had to piece it together. So I took each mistake as an opportunity to get it right.

I replaced the Feria box with the Kenzo advertisement that is already in her face. I love that puppy dog spot around her eye. I fixed that Yaz hairnet by recutting the top portion from a different part of the page. I just kept struggling to save a piece I knew would be worth it.

And it’s so worth it. I love this piece in person and digitally. It is one of the loveliest in this series and I am proud I fought the fight to make it work.
