Miss Jumbo Queen
This sketch illustrates a limerick about a beauty pageant for large ladies which is held each year in Thailand. The winner gets to be called Miss Jumbo Queen. No, really! 
This contest was featured in a Thai comedy movie made in 2004. Here is the official site of the contest.
UPDATE: The finished COLOUR piece is HERE.

Yes, Amelia, I will be there at Wondercon; booth #812. My usual partner in crime, Mr. Rhode Montijo, will be out of town but a friend of his will be standing in for him and selling his stuff.
See you there!(?)

Thanks for your comments everyone. It was a fun break from drawing elephants to draw a human for once. I’m still trying to figure out what approach to take in colouring this one… digital or analog?

[…] Almost a year ago I posted the sketch that formed the basis for this illustration. In Thailand each year a beauty pageant for bigger ladies is held to raise money for elephant conservation. […]
