Daisy Jones is a character my friend Steven Pick created. Steve and I started an Art Trade, in which two artists make an agreement to make art at the other's specifications. My task was to render Steve's character in my own style.
I changed Steve's original Daisy Jones apparel and tinkered with her hairstyle. I also added a lip peircing and dirt bike. Because Steve likes bright, Japanese style pop art, I opted for bright pinks, oranges and greens.
