Quick birthday doodle to my ex-Creative Manager and Top Gun aficionado, Dora.
Sidenote: I did a caricature of her in late 2020 along the same naval aviator theme - click here.
"Tower, This Is Ghost Rider Requesting A Flyby" | Caricature Corner 02
A caricature requested by management at work - this is 1 of 2 (the latter’s still in development).
Subject’s name is Dora : she was the designers’ wrangler as Creative Manager (among other roles) - she’s moved on to better things, I hope, as a buyer at Kmart.
Why a naval superpower aircraft carrier theme?
Well, from what I learned from Dora when discussing our favorite movies of all time (mine’s “All The President’s Men”, by the way), hers was “Top Gun”.
Yep. You heard right.
So, naturally I’ve depicted a fairy-winged Dora “buzzing” the carrier’s deck crew.
Special guest star : Wilson from “Castaway”.
As previously mentioned in an older post, there’s always that fear I didn’t truly capture the likeness of the subject… I guess I’ll find out tomorrow at work
