your work is awesome! I think you should do another pac man lost one, but he would be in a centipede level eating all the mushrooms haha

Hey that's not a bad idea!
I'll throw together a sketch tonite.

I just finished another pinup.
I'll throw this one on the for sale thread also.
I have about 2 more designs sketched up and about ready for paint.

i have to ask. have you ever gotten smacked for asking a girl to pose nude for your art? that's gotta be a question some people take the wrong way.

Lol, no. I've never openly "scouted" for models. It's always been close friends that were usually into art of some kind themselves so they knew it wasn't completely 100% perversion.......maybe 97% personal request and 3% artistic. Most of the time I've been able to do the poses all by thought. But sure, if they want me to sketch them out I'm not going to refuse. Of course I'll recommend the viewing angles regardless of wether I use them or not and I try to take pics so I'll have......uh......future reference. Really a pose is a pose, it's the line work and content that makes it a whole new character.




For example, my "Femachine" drawing I did 15 years ago was based on a 1992 PlayBoy Pamela Anderson cover pose.

At the time (well still am) I was really into a lot of the female robotic/armored characters as seen in Sorayama's work and much of the manga and anime at the time especially Bubblgum Crisis, Bubblegum Crash, M-66, Battle Angel Alita etc. So using Pammy's pose and some imagined armored plating I created this....
