Zombie Love

Things got super busy around here as I work on finishing the last few color pages of Girl Genius vol 1 - so I dug out something from the vaults to tide you over.

This was a commission piece for a couple...

SpoOoky Girl Monster Pin-up #4 - The Bride

Already available on T-Shirts!

My Original design gave this a tag line "For Better, or Elsa" but either no one got it - or they just didn't find it a funny as I did. So I dropped it. (Elsa Lanchester was the actress that played the Bride in the original 1935 film Bride of Frankenstein)

Ice Witch

and here's that last of the ones I have "ready to post" a Russian Ice Witch (a clue maybe?) the others I have, reside only in my sketchbook (for now). A she-creature from the black lagoon, wolf-woman, vampires, mummies, grim reapers, Frankenstein brides... etc. All to come

Devil Girl

Here's a Devil girl - originally done for that same unannounced project that I wish I could talk about (but still can't). This one was heavily influenced by Betty Page, and the pop-art styling of Coop!

Banshee

I have had this idea for sometime to do a whole line of spoOoky girl pin-ups. A recent *unannounced* product finally got me off my butt and working on it. Here is my first. A wailing Banshee...

PixelVixen707

Still working on my "pin-up" style. Today I did a pic of video game fanatic and Suicide Girl columnist Rachael Webster. Hopefully she is not too tweaked by it



The entire piece from sketches to "ink" was drawn in Adobe Illustrator on my 21" Cintiq, then I copied the line work to Photoshop, turned it into a PSD. Brought that PSD into a long abandoned product called streamline where I turn it back into a vector graphic

I do this because Streamline has an amazing "Smooth Paths" function that takes all the jitter out of my line work. So after I run that a few times I save the art as an EPS which I open back up in Photoshop and begin to color. Whew!

Dr. Sketchy's Logo

I've started attending a monthly artist gathering in Seattle called "Dr. Sketchy's anti-art school". Every month the Dr. Sketchy's crew brings in burlesque dancers to pose as figure models. It's a lot of fun.

They are currently holding a design us a logo contest, and I had a little free-time this afternoon so I banged one out.



and here is a close-up of the girl
