[P5] Creative - Ghost World: Enid Pinup

I have become a participating member of a group called [P5] Creative with a bunch of my friends from Art College. I will be filling in the Thursday slot on the roster so that we can hopefully post art every day. please stop by and follow the blog. Seeing as this is the first one I will do a double post but in the future I would like to try and make it so that the things I post on [P5] Creative are only there.


I'm currently a part of a comic book club with several other members of P5; every month we read a comic/graphic novel, get together and discuss it, and those of us who are artists make fan art. For my first post on [P5] Creative I posted the  fan art I did for our July book, Ghost World by Daniel Clowes. I ended up drawing the main character Enid in a pinup pose from the scene where she and Becky were talking on the phone  about going into the Adam II's Sex Shop.

Burlesque Babe pinup 01

New project that I am working on with Laura. Expect to see much more of Burlesque Babe this year.

Steph in a Nom Nom bar

The last two weeks in Consensual Tentacle we have been doing a plot line where august is stuck in a video game dream world. I will be doing some more posts about that in the future, I really fell in love with the character WARGUT and I think a more polished Mother Brain pinup is in order. The whole time Laura has been writing this plot line the ending was going to be this image of Steph done like a Mel Ramos painting.
Steph is inside a Nom Nom bar, which we made up.
On her chest there is a Hanya, fu bats holding peaches, the imperial symbol on her arm, and a storm trooper pm her other side. I imagine on the other side she has the rebel symbol and a Chewbaca, kind of Fan boys style with a light and dark side.
A cross her stomach she has the word "GROOVY" from earthworm jim and the army of Darkness.

Tattooed Sailor Girl

Originally this was going to be part of a post I was going to do on 10.10.10. where it was a series of 3 pinups all 10s (get it?) however, my homework ended up taking longer and I had some problems making art during the week so I have decided to simply post them all separately as I make them.
I have have a series of Sailor Girl pinup sketches sitting around for a long time and I have been meaning to finish one. This surprisingly was not one of them, after having so much fun illustrating the Tattoo Style Gilda Head I felt like drawing another portrait like that. I gave her that expression channeling Popeye the Sailor Man. I tried to giver her all traditional sailor tattoos. I had added the 10s for the 10 theme I was going for, though with what I have planned for my next pinup it ended up becoming more of a playing card theme.

Sun Burn

After posting Drunk Stab I started working on another sketch from the same page that I really liked, that of a young girl who had been sitting in the sun too long. I have been wanting to do a sun tan lines piece all summer and now that the summer is over I got it done. Originally I was going to give her a bathing suit and then i realized you wouldn't be able to see the tan lines, so it had to go.

Blond Beach Bombshell 01

Yay for alliteration; I really enjoy this title and I may just do more like this just because the title is fun. I'm also into the idea of doing these drawings where I change the subject matter with the seasons.

Summer Loving

I was trying to work out a pose for a pinup drawing I have been thinking about for a while. One of the doodles I did was this pose. I decided to make it a summer piece filled with beach fun and summer love. Hope you enjoy.

Cup Cake Girl

I felt like working on something different today; I had this doodle of a pinup pose sitting on my desk and thought it would look nice finished. I couldn't figure out what to have her sitting on though so I asked Laura and she gave me a series of suggestions that will probably appear future pinups as well as this one. Enjoy.

She Bags logo: She Bag Bombshell

Some of my lady friends have started a social club, where they drink tea, discuss books and talk about their alternative life styles and they have decided to name themselves the She Bags. They had asked me to do a logo and one of the ideas that I had was to make a pinup girl with a teabag head.

This is my preliminary drawing. I really liked how it turned out, I think I will keep working on it and refine it. They however, picked a different one for me to work on.
