Description
I've been wanting to do one of these for a while. Learned a bit of what I really like about artwork doing this. Give me somewhat of a direction of what I'd like to keep focusing on with my own artwork.My goal is to embody everything here but to have a completely recognizable style that is my own, and is fun to do. I'll keep pushing and will definitely get there.

Fantastic
But dang I never knew Bruce Timm dabbled in the sexy. Always though he just stuck with superhero stuff.

These are great influences, and I can definitely point to most as being major influences in myself, especially Yeagle and Elvgren. There's another great, but very underated pin up artist you might like. Her name's Joyce Ballantyne. She was friends with Elvgren but her stuff's more playful. There isn't much in the way of her work online, but here's a link:

I can definitely see the influence of many of these in your style. You seem to have already come close to your goal if not already achieved it. Good job from a fellow Elvgren and Timm fan.

Explains exactly why I am so drawn to your style. Seriously love all of your influences. Now I can justify all this awkward fanboy-ism! Keep it up, you are taking strides!

Some of those are definitely my influences, too. Especially that always-fantastic Playboy cartoon art. I'd buy a whole book of that. Can't get enough of Vargas, either.
