A character from my favorite Sci-fi program Firefly wore this shirt and I always admired the art and beauty of pin-up posters, so I found it (after trolling through old archives) and wanted to paint it. It's pretty close.

13+ for suggestive boobies.

Put it in advanced for the space. Mods may move it down to intermediate when finished.

Damn I think I strained my hand.

Ok, trolled through the Firefly archives to find the picture. It's a print on a shirt so there's a glare, but I fiddled with it and made it my own. Like I said, close.

this is hot, sweet. I love the smooth skin, cheerful background and creative censorship ;)

those are, however, killer death shoes.

Thank you everyone.

Ya patience. The shoes, the shoes.

LOL I knew you'd love it Cam.

You know the hardest part were those damn black flowers?

her arm and hand look really deformed, and wtf background pretty distracting.
Sweetcell (edited Sep 22, 2006)
I see.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Jul 25, 2006)
I think the 60's feeling and the *censorship* addition would make up for any anatomically incorrect mistakes you may have made, although I'm not up to critiquing those right now, even if they do hapen to exist. I should occasionally go try to paint at least one damn thing while I spend so much time here... that is why I'm here, right?
Sweetcell (Jul 25, 2006)
Ok, I don't see what you mean DBA, if the hand and arm is off I'll be sure to go back and fix it. Thing is I don't see it. I'll have to look closely at the ref.
DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Jul 25, 2006)
What I was trying to impart was that the "artistic" thing that hit me in this was the way you're drawn to the censorship of her eyes and her breasts... who noticed her hands? I didn't. Be free. Paint what, how you want.
(Staci is one of the best artists here, if not the best, though... so take heed to what she says as well)
Sweetcell (edited Jul 25, 2006)
Can't take credit for the censor strips, it's in the original piece. :)
shining_star_sam (edited Jul 25, 2006)
bloody hell *pardon my language* that's great. you're very good. I wish I could do skin complection and stuff. I don't quite know the tricks of the trade yet.

I think I strained my hand.

Doing what? =P
Excellent drawing. I'm certain you put extra work into the boobies.
Sweetcell (Jul 25, 2006)
Naughty boy HK. LOL. Thank you. Thanks sam, hey, swear if you want to, it's the human thing to do. :)

I was sure I commented in this one yesterday :/ Anyway, great skintones Sweetcell, and that background is so "@.@"
Tsukiko (Jul 26, 2006)
woah it looks sooo good now!!!! the hair looks more awesome!
cianteed2 (Jul 26, 2006)
This is so beautiful. The glow of the lovely lady - the background. I love it! Great work, my friend!
Sweetcell (Jul 26, 2006)
Your so sweet, I agree the hand may be a little off but it took me awhile to get it to look even remotely close, I think I did a fair to middling job.

Deino, Tsukiko, stasiuk thank you.
eevildeeva (Jul 26, 2006)
*very* nice. I'm a collector of 50's style pinup art, myself. This is really goooood. The tasteful censorship here gives an air of mystique- a little something left to the imagination- a perfect eye 'teaser'. Class and elegance are defintely a lost art now-a-days. I'm ready for the revival! ;)
Pseudonymous (Jul 26, 2006)
Well done, dahling. :)
Sweetcell (Jul 26, 2006)
Wasn't the art for these pin-ups just beautiful? Yes it was scantily clad women, yes they were in impossible positions wearing shoes that would make you trip and break your neck but the art that went into it, the colors, the different blending of styles. It is a lost art for sure. Maybe one day it'll make a comeback.

Thank you deeva, leah dahling. ;)

The backround is amazing! I never thought of putting the colors together like that! Looks like a real poster in the olden days! Great work!
