The fourth of twelve of this series, and the last featuring one of the Grunvale girls as the opposite archetype. Here’s what April Lowry would look like as a tomboy!

No, April still doesn’t have freckles. The way I imagined this piece, April drew the freckles on herself with a brow pencil, hence why they’re brown instead of black like those of the other three main Grunvale girls. Also, yes, underneath the heavy blush, that is how April’s rosy complexion naturally looks. I mean, she’s August’s twin, it only makes sense.
Not much else to say about this one, other than I used a motion blur effect to get the impression of movement, like this was a photo taken right as April was dropping da mic. Also, as a nod to April being LGBT, I decided to have her wearing a gay pride pin and lesbian pride pin on her jacket. Both were achieved with a rendered stroke effect for the border, and double-beveling for depth. Originally had her just wearing the rainbow flag pin, but a Twitter friend of mine, ‘FrickEpic’, suggested that I also have her wearing a lesbian pride pin. Took some digging to figure out what the lesbian pride flag looks like, there’s… a lot of different versions of it. But the one shown here seems to be the most current and accepted version, so I decided to include it.
And that’s all for this one. Post below what you think. Next up is… I guess Fashionista Gilda. See you then.
