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.
Summer Pinup Alex
And now Alex’s turn on the fan-service pinup wagon. Oh summer. Where you at?
Summer Pinup Coop
More of the fan-service pinups I was going to sell as prints. Coop’s just about the most UN-fan-service-y, so I like her being in this set.
Summer Maggie Pinup
I did a series of fan-servicey pinups last year with the intention to sell them as prints. I even printed them out! And then the fire happened, and while they made it out, they kind of vaguely smell like smoke and now I’m just put off of the whole thing. So I figured I might as well post them up.
First is Maggie!
Charlie Vintage Pinup Sketch
Got something actually sketched up! Again, spent more time poring through my favs on Tumblr and devouring more vintage livingrooms/furniture and pinups.
Still working towards that quest of finding what I like about drawing and comics again. My plan is to try the whole lineless/construction-paper look to this one, too. It’d be nice to get it done in time for posting up Monday on the site to give an update to all the people waiting for the next page and at least let them know “hey, no page coming anytime soon”.
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.
Been working on this on and off for the last week. Trying to play with filters and newspaper-dot effects and failed at all of it and just want the picture out of my sight now.
So here it is!
Based off a suggestion for a drawing of Andrea vamping up some mundane activity. Andrea gets a lot of hate but she’s perfect for vamping things up, and I love 60’s-ish pinups so it all kind of fell into place.
Random girl in a random living room.
I haven’t actually drawn from scratch (as in penciling) in about 6 weeks. Found a bit of time and wanted to see if I could still draw. Took a while to figure out WHAT I wanted to draw, but luckily all the fashion blogs I follow on Tumblr continue to be inspiring in a pinch.
That’s the start of a wallpaper print on the wall, too. Probably going to shrink it then stamp it around if I get to finish this.
