Summer Pinup Charlie
And the final bit of fan-servicery for this series. Charlie!
Like I’ve said, I’ve already got an initial run of these printed (I think it’s 20 each? 15? Something), along with a few other prints actually. Charlie hair experiments and…the group shot for Season 2?
Just checked the box again and they seem to have survived the fire unscathed - any sort of smoke smell is long gone by now too, as it turns out. Maybe I’ll try to get around to selling them at some point. But I’m a terrible businessman.
Charlie Painting Toenails Request!
Decided to try a quick sketch - the goal was definitely to be loose and fast with it, and that’s what actually happened, thankfully. Basing this off a request (but minus the bra and panties. Though those are in here, I suppose, just underneath!), because I’m not good enough to think up random ideas on the spot right now.
Can’t promise I’ll do any of the requests, but I appreciate the ideas! As you can see, they can sometimes work out.
Tuxedo Corset / Smoke Break Pinup
Kept rolling with the fancy corsets and settings. I was going to do more of a ballroom kind of shot with a tuxedo-themed corset, but then I found a great shot of this dilapidated wood staircase and though a smoke break with a cigar would suit it much better.
More Tumblr-inspired images.
I’ve also come up with possibly the best name for a pin-up series/studio. Maybe if I do enough of these I can compile them or something.
Bows and Corsets Pinup
First full picture I’ve finished from scratch since the last page of the comic in November. Whew!
I’ve done this kind of pinup a lot the last year - I’ve grown a love of vintage wallpaper and furniture and fashion/lingerie to match up with my love of pinups and curvy ladies and corsets. Also, really love drawing super-thick legs.
This was inspired solely by browsing through corset and burlesque groups on Tumblr.
If only I could write a story that involved nothing but vintage wallpaper, rooms, and corsets. That would be pretty awesome, but it would probably take five years to draw.
(Also worth noting that this isn’t Charlie. Sure it’s basically her body, AND it’s a red-head, but I just like drawing that shape, and this doesn’t really suit her.)
Hey look. Super old art! Like 10 years old now almost. Crazy.
Turns out there’s not many girl pics/pinups that I have. Oh well!
This is from an old old comic that no one paid attention to. It’s kind of horribly dated and make me cringe so much. But there were a couple character shots I did near the end of the run that I kind of like - like this one.
Charlie Winter Fashion
This isn’t quite the look I was wanting (I really wanted to try much more simplistic shading where just sections are shaded instead of definitions shaded, but I always fail at simplifying), but it feels really good to get something NOT a comic page drawn. It’s been a sad while.
Really needed to spend some time I didn’t really have to draw up something random.
It’s weird how much I enjoy drawing fashion now. Utterly weird if you knew me (since I have no fashion), and especially weird to draw something like this after a few days of playing Modern Warfare 3 as hard as I have been.
EDIT
I should probably add links to the outfit!

Figure I might as well post this up in case Photoshop crashes on me like it’s threatening to.
Been feeling really rushed and ‘blah’ about drawing lately (and been much more absorbed in gaming when not busy with baby/work) and I wanted to try and get some spark back. I’ve kind of fallen in love with drawing fashion sooooo here’s Charlie in some Winter gear. Hoping to finish this up today.
Trying something new with the inking, and going to try something new with the colours.
Struggling with a (way-too-large) group shot as kind of concept image of the next scene. Not only is it taking too long (probably because I’m drawing it at 16x9 inches in 300dpi), but I’m kind of hating all the colouring for it. I’m hating most of the shot, actually, except for Charlie.
Her inking turned out really good and loose. I really liked that look. Then I ruined it with the flats. I might just reset the picture back to the inks and try again.
First suggestion (from Twitter) was for a voodoo lady! So here’s a Voodoo Lady.
So there were a few suggestions for Charlie dressed as Poison Ivy. I had actually already done that, but it was more the comic book Poison Ivy and not the animated, so I don’t think a lot of people even noticed.
Which means now you get animated Poison Ivy!
