Leaving her name off—they thought—would separate the title from a female-dominated field.

GOOD fan art is GOOD art. Period.

Illustrator, Sandra Jessop, recently completed our 3-Week Character Design class.

Here is her homework in sketch and final stages. Her final is so classic and lovely. Well done, Sandra!
