Cathy with a licensed character

[gs_silva]

Life is tough all over. A friend is having a particularly difficult stretch, so to cheer her up, I offered to draw her something silly with a character of her choice and a character of my choice.

I always choose Cathy. For one thing, I own the rights to her, so that's easy. And she comes out of my pencil easily, now that I've drawn her at least a thousand times. (I'm counting previous drafts of Alien Romance, plus my rough draft of the hypothetical sequel, plus all the many, many times I drew her for prompts or just because.)

She's very versatile, too. With her wide eyes and unruly hair, and big ears that look like they're ready to go flying off somewhere, plus a fashion sense that favors scribbles and flares, she always looks a little bit lost. She doesn't belong anywhere; therefore she belongs equally well everywhere. The Silly Old Bear seems like a good enough fit.

That is so adorable.

You are a good friend. You know what art is for. Even when we can't fix what's broken in life, art helps us cope with it.
