This Yoko is one of many in the same pose, but this one is my favourite and in my opinion the closest to the original illustration. I decided to leave off the included gun strap as I felt it threw off the visual weight of the piece.

Kit was entirely hand painted, shading done with a mixture of paint and pastels. Unfortunately the sun washes out a lot of the metallic textures and skin shading, but Yoko didn’t want to be kept indoors once she was finished.

My favourite shot…
