Meet Bernice Smith, a character I designed back in 2018. In her original incarnation, she was a Tuskegee Airwoman fighting in World War II who crash-landed into a “lost world” with prehistoric creatures somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle. I’ve kept most of those aspects for my redrawing of her, but changed the setting to the North African desert since that would be geographically closer to where the Tuskegee Airmen historically operated (and North Africa was a major battleground during WWII anyway), and I wanted a little break from the “tropical lost world with dinosaurs” setting.
