  Well, I've only done one nude print of her. The picture I posted
last night was a sketch. Whether or not I get the picture colored
remains up in the air. Hell, I've got tons of pictures I never post
or publish, and that was one I thought I'd share.
  The "problem" with drawing her nude, or more correctly, what her
feelings would be if she were depicted in such a way (as in a print)
is rather complicated. I believe in remaining true to her
character, and nude stuff is not something she would normally do.
Granted, she will become more at ease as time progresses, but her
main hold-up is due to some childhood trauma at the hands of an
older person, who was later killed for his role in the event.
Unfortunately, some scars take a long time to heal, but I do believe
her friends will help her to make peace with her past and to get on
with living her life to its fullest. As for her and Dinah, all I
can say is, I bet Dinah is wishing they were a couple! ;) But
things may not work out that way. Or maybe they will. I'm not
gonna tell. ;P
