There is an interesting story behind this illustration. While at ComicCon 2004 I was asked by Paige Braddock's friend Adrienne to do a picture of her daughter to give to her on Christmas. Since it was going to be a surprise, she wasn't going to be able to pose for me. So I worked off this snapshot that Paige emailed to me. My first rough of Natasha had far less clothing on than this one. A shocked Adrienne sent me an email requesting a version of her daughter with a little less flesh showing. This copy turned out far better than that first one did though. Later after Xmas, I got another email from Adrienne telling me how well received it was by Natasha and everyone who saw it.
