Description The first of many in a line of circus related works. 
This is the first showcase of Abigail's stage attire for her death defying feats. Despite the modern times, you'll note a certain flair for the older, more baroque style of such acts in times past, this is one of the highest selling gimmicks of the Taggart Brothers Traveling Circus, everything, right down to the flyers posted around towns when they arrive, are designed to reflect a certain forgotten time of performing.

I haven't yet come up with a stage name for her, though "the Fearless - - - - " keeps coming up. Still, nothing solid. I've done a little something extra with her eyes this time around, and I'll be continuing work with eyes through the course of this. Not to mention, completely re-learning the female form. Ugh. Studying. ... Wait, what am I saying? I LOVE studying the female form! BONUS!! XD

In the mean time, this is the debut of her high flying attire. In the works, I'll be creating similar circus posters with silhouettes of characters, rather than a full worked piece, including the Taggart Brothers (sketched) and the Strongman/gymnast posters, as well as some reaction and emotion poses.


Have some more Abigail! With more on the way.

Awesome costume! o: As expected, this came out great! If this is a sign of things to come, then I'm even more excited to see her progression. :3

Well thanks, thanks very much! I came out way better than I expected it, to be honest. I didn't really think I could pull it off so well, but hey, pleasant surprise! 

I'll be working on her lovely assistant outfit next. I've got it all planned out so far, but it seems a little bland. Then again, so did this one when I started it, so maybe once again I'll be pleasantly surprised. 

I'm kinda spreading the work out a bit, but I think the next thing that gets done will be the Taggart Brothers, since they're already sketched and ready to roll. Then maybe I need to get an idea in mind for her parents, maybe a name first, heh. The only other thing I've been playing at in my head though is a Magician.

Heh, the more I go on and on, the more I realize that I've got quite a bit project ahead. Hell, maybe even I'll make some comics at some point, though I hate the tedium, who knows!

Sounds interesting. With a circus, there's a lot of possibilities; jugglers, clowns, sword-swallowers, magicians, and tamers. A magician definitely seems like it could be pretty cool.

Well "STAR" might be a bit much. But she IS something to see for sure. Now, maybe you skip out on the magic show, or the flame eater, or another dare devil, but you definitely don't skip out on her. XD
