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.)
Corset Pinup Sketch
An actual new drawing! Sure it’s just a sketch so far, but it’s the most I’ve drawn from scratch in a long, long time.
Spent some time today looking up burlesque outfits (thanks for the links, those who answered!), and that took me to a corset group with tonnes of amazing shots and outfits and designs and that led to this.
Pirate Girl Pinup!
This is from about a year ago. I think I got creeped out by how much she ended up looking like Maggie and I stopped. Or it might have been another victim of “This was a cool idea in my head and now it doesn’t look good”. That happens a lot.
Yet more corsets. It’s totally not an obsession. (but it is)
Okay, here’s my last mermaid. I had to do one more, and had to push for a seashell corset - because corsets are pretty awesome and I really wanted to see a mermaid in one.
This is for Fat People Art’s Fat Mermaid Week again. I couldn’t help but finish one more!
I’ve been enjoying the lace and curves and ruffles and pinups of the Charlie hair series and wanted to keep that train rolling. Luckily TheLoveTaco was around and had been drawing Charlie and her girl lately and I felt like returning the favour by drawing her girl in a burlesque setup.
Hopefully I’ll get the chance to make this a finished pic at some point.
