Probably her most eye catching feature though is the hood. I designed the image itself, and the design went through several incarnations before paint got anywhere near the hood, but the actual final "brush-to-car" painting you see here was literally done with brushes and acrylics, courtesy of a local tattoo artist who worked on it over a period of two days. I’m not much of an artist myself, and since my initial concept was really vague, we had a few disagreements about the design as it was coming together and ended up compromising on a few things (like the hair and the tattoo on her arm) The basic idea was to give it that “pin-up girl” feel, like something you might see on the side of an old World War II era fighter, and you can see elements of that in the “kill marks” spraypainted with stencil along the “nose” of the car.
