Since I´m trying to imitate the tone of Golden Age sci-fi, I figured it´d be fun to study a pose from a Planet Comics cover and adapt it to my space ranger. Had a lot of fun figuring out the ins and out of good girl art anatomy, I´ll probably add a background and do more pinups like this in the future #sketchbook #penandink #traditionalart #scifi #spaceopera #comics #goldenagecomics #pinup #goodgirlart
Forgot to upload this- went ahead and made up a background in Clip Studio for that earlier study/swipe. Oddly enough I wasn´t really that much into faux-retro coloring back in the day (my nostalgia is for those garish late 00´s reprints with the brightness melting your eyeballs lol)but now that I understand more about color and printing technology I am completely absorbed by it #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #scifi #spaceopera #comics #goldenagecomics #pinup #goodgirlart
@StJack You really captured the flavor! Gesture, silhouette, and anatomy were so important in these old pulps, especially since printing was so mushy - it really needed to be solid to read. It is fascinating to see how you have broken it down to the foundational level instead of just the surface finish. It'll be exciting to see how this project develops.
