    Typical, an amazing challenge gets posted just before I go on holiday! I'm really looking forward to seeing the entries on this one, but in the words of Stewie Griffin, "Damn you! Damn you to hell!" Stick out tongue

    Never done a pin up before (not consciously, anyway) so I took the opportunity to practice some pen drawing again. Can't say I'm overly happy though - I've just reminded myself how much I hate trying to draw weapons. It doesn't matter how simple geometric shapes I try to make them, they always look a mess anyway, always end up the wrong perspective, and with pen and paper always messes up the drawing with smudges Sad

    Btw, I inteded to have her frightened by a "spacerat" or something but I'm not sure...

    I've never tried a pin-up either, Charlotte. (will have to some day) But I like the starts you and em... have going so far. I really like the pose & face expression you have now, but you might want to look at her left wrist.  ... Look forward to watching these develop. :)

    Dave, would that be where she bends it to hold the gun, or the part of her arm/wrist that's partially "hidden" under her bosom?

    Yep, sorry, I'm at work so couldn't zoom in to view it better. Didn't realize that part of the arm was hidden under her 'bosom'. It just makes the arm look rubbery at that point with it's curvature. But now that you describe it though, carry on. :) ... now I feel like a boob! ;)

    Alright!  This sounds fun, and i've finally got some time to work on it.

     

    Well here's an initial idea, I did steal the pose from one of Martin Abels pinups (that guy is the king) .

    Any and all critiques welcomed.

    He's pretty awesome. Liking the work so far. I won't critique it, as you're just developing the concept now right (in which case I'd say that it's ok - though maybe a little lacking in the dynamism aspect - it's not that exciting yet).

    Voluspa, yours looks fun, and em I prefer the first one. Smile Debating if I want to go at this. Seems right up my street, but am scared to take on a deadline so short! Stick out tongue

    aocdb - have a go, if you don't finish it in time you can do it in your own time, and if you never try you'll never speed up :)
