    Character design for a Halloween illustration I'm working on. V4 using the "Betty" morphs and hair (in other words, Bettie Page). I'm not entirely happy with it, and I may tweak it a bit before posting it to my gallery, but I thought I'd share it and see what you guys think.

    Interesting. Did you make it in Poser?

    Yes, Original renders in Poser Pro 11 with clean-up in Clip Studio Paint. Sorry, I should have mentioned my workflow. This needs some more clean-up on the leg and the hair.

    Very cool.

    Here's the update of my pin-up. I wound up playing around with the colors (a lot) and finally settled on this combo of red and a "dusty rose" color. Significant fixes to the hair (I also edited out her earring from the earlier one because I didn't think you could "read it" through all the hair). As before, this is Victoria 4 rendered in Poser Pro 11 and cleaned-up in Clip Studio Paint. Honestly, I spent WAY too long on this considering it's just a character sketch. I've got to add her to the illustration I'm working on and try to get it done in time.

    If anyone is interested in contrasting this to my earlier draft, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    HAH! Poor Durwood! BTW, you totally NAILED Endora's look and the color of her costume! This is simply charming! And I really like your earlier takes on the Bewitched characters, too.

  • Thank you!

    HAH! Another fun illustration. I always felt sorry for Gladys Kravitz. I love your style and the character depictions. Have you considered adding ground shadows to root them more firmly in space? Just wondering. I really like what you're doing here.

  • I’ll be playing with different backgrounds as time goes on. Thank you.

    HAH. I loved the episode when the parents first met. Another fine illustration, btw.

    And until recently, I did not know "sick headache" was another way of saying "migrain" headache. I found it out by listening to old radio shows that advertised headache relief products.

    I needed a cover for a fanzine, so I whipped this up. And then I decided that I didn't like it. That monster is just ridiculous looking. Not scary, not life-like (is he a statue?), so I decided to ditch this design and replace the creature with that sexy Bettie Page imp. I was going to have her leaning against the skull, or lounging atop it, in some sort of sexy pin-up pose. BUT... I'm outta time. I need to shift focus to a cover for an RPG supplement, and I just don't have the time to redo this cover. So, my "rejected" version is going to print tomorrow.

    I don't dislike this cover, mind you, I just think it could have been better with a more interesting focal point and a little more work on the smoke and lighting effects. As always, my workflow is based in Poser Pro 11 and Clip Studio Paint.

    A little younger than I'm used to seeing them, but they are good likenesses. Cool work.

    Still discovering the possibilities of Corel Painter 2019 applied to render from Flowscape.

    Fun stuff. I kinda like the sparkles, but for some reason this one seems a bit more "muddy" than usual, as though the filter work was a bit too strong. Still a lot of fun, though.

    This would look fantastic at a large size in a gallery. And it looks really cool and interesting when viewed full size. But shrunk down, I could barely tell those were meerkats. There is something almost haunting about the colors, though, and they remind me simultaneously of Frazetta's backgrounds and some of the impressionists (a hint of Monet, but just a hint – i've been reading a book on impressionism lately and this really strikes a chorde with me, but I cannot nail down who this reminds me of the most). Cool stuff, and the lighting is really fantastic here.

    I'm working with a backdrop for a change of pace.
