Mama, I'm Alright - b+w

I can't stop drawing to music, apparently. This one's from Miranda Lambert.

Gwen and her mommy have a kind of rocky relationship. Moira always hoped Gwen would grow up less reckless than her father Natan, and Gwen pretty much resembled him in every way. Every once in a while she just deemed him too bad of an influence, and banned him from seeing Gwen, though he always seemed to redeem himself eventually. One such occasion where she tore into him was the evening before he was killed, and Gwen never really forgave her mother for that, so they weren't very close during her adolescence. Since maturing a little (the hard way), Gwen's realized how her actions have been hurtful to her mother, who only ever tried to protect her, but she feels that she's made so many bad decisions since leaving home that she doesn't want to return until she redeems herself in her own mind, to the point where in a situation where she actually had to return to Augustana to beat up a lot of thugs in the sewers, she was skulking around in a burnoose the whole time trying not to be recognized. I'm hoping the two of them will reconcile eventually.

And just to put in perspective how magnificently tiny Moira ferch Mairead is, Gwen's only a whopping 5'6".

Watercolors soon!
