Sometimes I think of a pose or theme for a drawing, and I look through my archives looking for reference for the pose and details.
And sometimes, I come across a photo that suggests a drawing.
That's what happened here. I came across - let me rephrase that - I found a photo of a woman bodybuilder (whose name I don't know, unfortunately) taken from an extreme low angle. Now I've already collected a fair number of other such "up-angle" FBB photos for use as reference in future drawings of Kaiju Fighter Tetsuko. But when I saw this particular photo, my mind instantly saw Tetsuko in this view. I used the photo as reference for not only the pose but the lighting as well.
I imagine this might have happened after a battle with a giant monster - or even, perhaps, just after she arrives for such a battle - and, having caused inadvertent damage (accidentally stepping on parked car, for example) she tilts her head down to say "Oops! Sorry about that..."
