Who does she think she is?

Well, what can I say about this... I had Sally on the brain, and then I heard the Spice Girls on the radio, and this is what I ended up thinking about. This is, of course, Sally Acorn wearing the infamous Union Jack dress, originally worn by Geri Halliwell, also known as Ginger Spice. It certainly caught a lot of people's attention, including mine, when she performed in it at the BRIT Awards in 1997, and it's probably her best known outfit. I wasn't actually sure if Sal would suit it, in fact I thought she probably wouldn't, but now that I'm finished, I think she looks good in it. And to think I considered putting it on Amy Rose instead...

The hardest thing to do when I was drawing this picture was the coloring. I actually hate coloring, it's usually the stage when the sketch I'm so pleased with turns into a disappointing end-product. I don't want to say I'm disappointed with this, although there are a few areas I would have liked to do better with. I'm particularly ill-equipped to apply peachy-yellowy colors (her lighter fur areas), unless they're really bold yellows (Like my previous Ms. Pac-man drawing), mainly because I don't have any good pencils in those colors, and had to try blending. The scanning could be to blame for some problems also - it does look better on the paper, so if I ever get access to a better scanner I'll try it again. Putting aside those grumbles, I'm really quite pleased with this.

Incidentally, the song which put this idea into my head was "Spice Girls - Who Do You Think You Are?", so if you want to get into the spirit of things, have a listen to that. And if you don't know what any of this Spice Girls/Union Jack dress stuff refers to, you could always try searching for "spice girls brit awards" on YouTube. (or to save you time, just go here! youtube.com/watch?v=K_Ed1bs7F34). You'll probably soon notice there's one startling detail of Ginger's outfit that didn't make it into Sally's version - Sally's got a lot more class, you see...
