During a recent depressive episode, I decided to do some portraits just to keep moving and help myself feel productive, and I decided to give Delia some love since she's another one of those characters I really like but seem to neglect.
In the time where she was going unused, I decided that Delia is Dominic Duncan's wife, and little Dommy Duncan is their son. She's always struck me as a very humble, hard-working and friendly sort, one that would find a great deal of happiness with a happy, honest, hard-working (and somewhat dopey) jackass from the same sort of farm town as she grew up in.
Since I only ever seemed to draw Delia in a maid outfit or posing in a swimsuit, I came to the conclusion that she works as a maid or housekeeper but likes to spend her free time outdoors--you can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl!

Thanks! She's one that I haven't drawn all that often, but really do enjoy drawing when I do get around to it. Once I introduced little Dommy and said he's probably Dominic Duncan's pudgy son, I realized I'd need to find a female for that equation--and quick! Delia seemed like a perfect fit, just established as a character enough to have her own personality, but not developed to the point where tossing her into a relationship with a donkey dork and giving them a pudgy child would upset anything previously established.
As for the depression... some people have depressive episodes, I swear I have an entire Depressive Cinematic Universe. Or at least several seasons worth of depressive episodes, enough to fill a few DVD box sets...

Looks like a real nice gal, just enough fun and friendly. Just looked up Dommy, they make a nice family.
Hope the depression didn't last been there to many times, making nice work like this should help but I know it's not easy to climb out of the hole once you fall in.
