Commissioned by *TheMaskedShrike . The pose is inspired by the work of George Petty. Seeing as she's the existential depiction of pin-up, there's really no other way to draw this beauty. I had fun drawing her because the personality and look of her is simply around my comfort zone.

Thanks. Along with the great Alberto Vargas, George Petty and Gil Elvgren's works were my inspiration growing up (though I didn't know I was looking at their printed works at the time).

Great illustration, DP. It does justice to the Petty girls.
BTW - I like how you water mark. You make your point without hiding your hard work.

It reminds me of the patriotic pin-ups of the 40's. Very nice work, as usual.

Thanks, the pinups of the 40s, 50s are my first mindset when I saw the character. Really from the stuff of George Petty and Gil Elvgren.

George Petty is my favorite pin-up artist. Great stuff. Always gives me a feeling of nostalgia when I see his work though I wasn't even born until the 60's. I just have a connection with that period, I guess. I've probably seen Gil Elvgren's work, but never made the connection. I will check out his work.
Thanks

I'm just totally floored by this piece. Thank you SO much! I don't think George Petty could have done it better! You've captured her look and expression beautifully. It's so her.
