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!

Ah! I noticed that too, but couldn't think how to word it. I could only come up with 'It's a little bit...off,' but you nailed it.

The shading though? Amazing. And it's a fun idea.

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.

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

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 start with a textured background in Photoshop then paint over it. The texture comes through the low opacity areas and gives a nice effect :)

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 :)

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