This was done for a "Drawing Jam" on the Drawing Board.
The subject of the jam this month was "Smallville" actress Kristen Kreuk.
While I did start out intending to simply draw a direct interpretation of the original
picture, you can see that idea quickly went down the drain and I ended up taking the
basic pose from the picture and turning into a desperate cry for hel--er--a rather
original piece of art which in the end had little to do with Kristen, who isn't even green
and probably has never ridden a rocket powered hippopotamus.
