Wow this girl is beautiful! I love her sparkling eyes on every photo you took!
:iconislandtime:
thank you - I'm so lucky to have her as a model :)

I still don't know - but could it be you've read "Strangers in Paradise" by Terry Moore (or is he related to your familiy)?

Because of this:

Your niece looks in nearly every shot as the living image of the youg Katchoo.

...and some of your shots do deceivingly look like being inspired by Mr. Moores covers or lineart (definitely not vice versa - I collected SIP for some years now. They're nearly as old as your nice is, having started by 1993 *g*):

There's another one:

Anyway - nice holidays to you and your family.

I'd never heard of Terry Moore or 'Strangers in Paradise' and your links didn't work unfortunately but I googled him and if I'm right Katchoo is the blond girl isn't she? I can see a certain resemblance there to my niece but I can honestly say I've never seen his work before. Maybe you could try sending me those links again to see if they would work this time? Very interesting indeed.

Happy Holidays to you and yours too :wave: :xmas:

They don't work?
Strange. Even Stranger.
I just checked and from here they work perfectly.
Well, whatever... Yep, Katchoo is the Blonde (even if she's about 10 years older than your niece is now at the start of the series)
Try to copy this one: ---strangersinparadise.com/images/issues/volume02issue05.jpg---
and put www. in front of it.
Same here: ---strangersinparadise.com/images/issues/volume03issue08.jpg---

Mr. Moore incidentially is famous to use in his drawings the same "whiteout-techniques" you did in your shot "winter" quite frequently. That's what finally made me asking. *g*

I had a look at those and wow - you're right!! The shot with the leaves as well! It was quite spooky although I've never seen his stuff before, never even heard of him. Thanks for putting me onto it. My niece was fascinated to see the images too - I'm going to call her Katchoo from now on!! :D Have a great xmas by the way :wave:
