Retro Pinup

MAN, I wish I could come up with a better title than that, since this my third retro-themed pinup. Well., I'm quite tired. For whatever reason, I got the drive to just keep working on this, lateness of the hour be damned. But whatever adrenaline rush was keeping awake is rapidly depleting now that I'm finished, so I better make this quick.

This is normally where I mention what made me think to go the direction I did here, but, I can't say for sure WHAT brought it on this time. Other than I just like old pinup art, I love how cute and coquettish it is, and I wanted to do another one. It's fun to draw the girls, it's fun to do the poses. It's fun to do the older hairstyles. It's LOADS of fun to do the setting. Doing the old rotary phone and AM radio and plastering photos of 50s teen heartthrobs on the wall was all fun.

I don't think I've ever paired purple and green like this before. It has an interesting contrast I think. I'm not sure how often I'd use it, but it fits here. I was looking up some photos of bedrooms from that time period and saw a lot of contrasting colors, so I decided to go with something like that myself.

But, I just love how this one came out. I think she's super cute, and has that teasing kind of sexiness. It definitely fits the style I was trying for.
