VIRGINIA'S RAD WEIGHT LOSS ADVENTURE
Dunno if you've noticed yet, but I love sequences. I really do. A single image really doesn't give off that aura of 'change' or 'growth' that I do so love.
So it's probably no surprise that I've done one for Virginia. Only, it's actually a weight LOSS thing, but, since it's various pictures of her at different weights, all you gotta do is scroll up from the bottom to get the reverse effect.
Oh yeah. I really sucked at drawing at this point. Er, more than I do now, that is.
The Diary of Virginia Maxwell.
March--
"I don't know how it happened, but at some point in time, I grew too comfortable with my life. Saved the world, managed to slip out of a massive bounty on my head, and then retired to my home at Boot Hill, perfectly willing to avoid ever having to deal with that crap again.
And look what happened. Apparently I just stopped caring, and really let myself go. So, as of right now I have a new mission. Lose this weight as soon as possible.
Preferably by summer. I know it's insane to even think that's possible, but the oceans are just finally filling in, and I'll be damned if I pass up that oppurtunity."
May--
"Lost 95 lbs already. It's just mind-boggling, really. I can't even begin to grasp just how. But you know what? Who cares, I lost nearly 100 lbs already! Maybe I can make it to summer after all!"
June--
"Not so dramatic this time, but still pretty damn good. My life has pretty much been devoted to this effort, and it's really paying off. I'm just really damn lucky I've got nothing else to do or worry about, or else who knows where'd I'd be right now?
It was somebody's stupid idea to mark my progress on the wall like that. Like the reverse of a children's growth chart. Still, I'm pretty eager to see just how much better I'm doing with each day, so maybe it's not really that dumb. Still...it was probably Clive. I dunno where he gets some of these ideas of his."
July--
"Do you believe in miracles? I'm starting to! From March to July I've lost 210 lbs. That is absolutely amazing, isn't it? 42 pounds per month is a darn good rate, if I do say so myself. Anyway, it was just in time, too. I mean, sure, I usually weighed in at less, but I was still filling in at the time. And frankly this is good enough. Time for some relaxation at the beach. First time in over a decade and it feels great!
...now to KEEP it this way. "
TIME WARP
July--
"Look, this doesn't count, okay? I'm pregnant, goddamnit. I did not let myself go again. This is perfectly natural.
110 pound gain, what the hell..."
BUT WAIT!
"I don't remember this picture. Whoever took it has just gotten themselves on my list of people that I need to bring to 'justice'.
Guardians, did I really look like THAT back then? I can't believe it. I just cannot believe that I let that happen. Well, I can be darn sure that it'll never happen again.
Incidentally that was the February before. I had actually started my regimen a month before I started the photo log. I just...really didn't want to acknowledge this portion of it. Good god."
