How to disgust Hillary Clinton!

“Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has undergone more makeovers than Madonna”
… and I am the reason for it! 
Let me explain: Last year I was asked to redraw a comic cover another artist did for the Female Force comic book series (Publisher Bluewater Productions: “The Female Force comic book series showcases influential women who are making and shaping modern history”). U.S. comic publisher Bluewater Productions asked me to redraw the other artist’s cover, because his first version wasn’t what they had in mind for the book and the number of the stripes in the American flag was wrong. So I drew my version of the cover and everyone was happy… everyone except for Hillary Clinton:
“…Clinton disliked the cover, which had her sporting a blue suit whose buttons were straining over a chunky hourglass figure. Think more Lara Croft and less America’s top diplomat.”
Now my cover will be the back cover for the book. I feel a little bit bad about this, but my game artist’s heart is pumping faster because of the comparision with Lara Croft… hehehe.
Oh… and the story isn’t finished yet…
“Bluewater asked artist Vinnie Tartamella to create a new, less-sexy cover”
So this means my canned cover is the sexy Lara Croft style version! … NOT BAD!
You can read the whole news at www.rollcall.com. You can see here the different cover versions for the book:
First Female Force Cover (with too many stripes on the flag)
Second Female Force Cover (this is my version!)
Third Female Force Cover (final Tartamella cover)
