Artist's Comments

As I was painting this I couldn't get the darn Cheesecake Shop jingle out of my head. If you're Aussie, you'll probably know the one I mean...

So yeah, Elanor from Dreamless in the style of 1940s pinup artist Gil Elvgren. Just for fun, cause I'd never do a pinup of my own characters :p

Old pinup art is really interesting. The girls are always beaming, going about their business (in less clothes than normal) or looking completely surprised to have been caught with their legs bare. They also have great shoes.
Very classy as far as modern male titillation goes!

Been ages since I've seen any tv ads for the Cheesecake Shop... Alas I can only vaguely remember the jingle.

I'm an expert on very few things. The above is probably not one of them.

Gah. Now it's stuck in my head >_> The ones that really used to annoy me were the Laonica Chicken ads though. At least cheesecake makes you think of yummy things...

Lurvely work, I love the detail on her face :)

Come to the dark side, we have cookies.

AARRRRG!!! It is in my head now as well! Curses!

What? Oh yeah, The art's pritty too, I guess. Did you do this on actual canvas, or is that a texture thing on whatever program you're useing? Either way, I like how your colours and shading on the girl are rich and creamy, even with the black dress, which contrasts well with the watered down and cold colour of the background.

And that is my two cents worth. Goodnight.

I think hell is bad! It gives you ADD! Oh look, an ice cream truck!

I love her shoes! I want those shoes! And the dress, I love it! Though I'd probably never wear something like it...well, maybe...

Eh? Oh, and I love everything about this too. Did you do it on a canvas? It looks like you might have. Either way, I'm insanely jealous of you mad skillz.

Your mind is my playground.

Photoshop, but I was trying to emulate a painted-on-canvas look. Does this mean I win? :D

...wait, did I just type that out loud?
:iconartsangel:
I start with a textured background in Photoshop then paint over it. The texture comes through the low opacity areas and gives a nice effect :)

far be it for me to criticise anything you've knocked out but, quality of the painting and anatomy not withstanding, she seems, erm, a little rigid and floating. I'm not sure how exactly to make it clear but the pose seems very harsh and un-natural where it interacts with the environment, she seems to be balancing on her right ankle and the point of her shoulder her right shoulderblade, which looks rather forced. From what I've seen of other pinups, their reclining poses tend to be softer, more relaxed, in the style of the lifemodel reclining, but with a bit more flirt in the limbs and face. Can you see what I'm talking about or am I just being facetious? It's a beautiful piece, vague uncomfortableness notwithstanding

Gorgeous! I love the use of shadows.
