this is Anthea, nicknamed Tia. hair is based on my friend called jamaine. this character likes to chew gum while she kangaroo-boxes (imagine how does a kangaroo jump). she leaps about punching, aided by her super special bouncy shoes. it has 3 springy layers. she can leap as high as the 2nd storey when she wants to. Tia is a really vivacious girl with a wonderful tan and bubblegum pink hair. she has a mischievous grin when she's not forever chewing gum. the blue inked one shows her fighting pose with bubblegum. yellow inked shows her back pose. red are all her expressions.

...this is only the 2nd time i am using photoshop cs2 to colour. the 1st attempt bombed. it's not worth mentioning coz the 1st one was coloured while i was trying to imitate som1 else's style. now this one you are looking at is totally my own effort, mostly using gradient. special tanx to amy and stella for impromptu crash lessons on how to use photocs2. thank god for xtended deadline. hell to upcoming exams!and i think i may b a genius after all... (yeah rite..). special tanx to a guy who told me i could do better in my artwork. it's tanx to him that am spurred on to produce better work lately. tanx man!

please give lotsa constructive comments.

lastly, i hope i win!
