Description
I had several inspirations for this illustration.I wanted to make a piece partly inspired by the old 1950s pin up art and the warplane nose art of the 1940's. Im also a big fan of retro futuristic genre (Blade Runner,Dark City, Brazil) and anything that has an old Flash Gordon style.
As for the girl in the image, she was partly inspired by the old 1960's -70's sci-fi/horror film actress Caroline Munro.

Something off about the breasts. Start too close to the collar bone?

You really achieved everything you wanted to put in that picture, that is amazing... There is something that reminds me the emotion I have with Frazetta, maybe the sexy darkness.

Simply stunning, so much effect in one painting. I wish I could get even close to such sense of composition at one point of the future.

Awesome. Inspiring.
I too love this style/genre in film, art and such.
It's hard to define too, with so many things that can be included in it's inbspiration; steampunk, industrial age, early century tech, retro sci-fi, post-nuclear futuristic/apocalyptic, etc.
Great work, keep it up!
