Artists of Erotica...

Here's another early one that I did. I did it from a Gunther Blum photograph that I came across. Again, it started out as an exercise in illustrating hair, but then I really started looking at Blum's style of photography and started to find a style in that which I wanted to keep. I basically liked the B&W Infrared effect and started using that more after this illustration.
 
After the first illustration that I did involving a woman's pee (Posted earlier in this thread) I happened across a number of photos that seemed to lend well to the subject matter. None of them involved the liquid being as detailed as the first one, but I couldn't resist perverting the original pics with this subject matter just for the fun of it...
 
These next couple get into somewhat of extremes from the previous couple of illustrations...

Halo,

I liked the letting go V because of the pose. I could do without the fluids. LOL
But her pose is powerful, very proud in fact.
And I like the way her hair looks plastered.

Snake,

I can see her doddering on the beach. Something very touching in this one.
Perhaps because of the way her legs are a bit bent?

:D

I just thought I show something that was not so typical

Well done. I had the same thought when I saw this about the woman lumbering on the beach. It's a good image with a lot of potential to inspire a lot of different thoughts. Cool piece.

:cool:
 
For the folks who may want to pose for an artist...

I've ran into a number of women who have told me that they'd like to pose for an artist, but they're self-conscious of some of what they consider to be "flaws" on their bodies.

I basically tell them all the same thing: My pencils, pens, paintbrushes or any of the other materials that I might use to create artworks with, don't have to see, or reflect, anything that one considers to be a flaw.

Now obviously this can't apply to every potential model. Making a woman who is grossly obese into a 110 pound-looking piece of artwork simply isn't realistic. However, a grossly obese individual can be done with a style, flare and absence of the typical cellulite pitting that is usually present on this body type. Roundness is always fun to work with and can typically create a fun and pleasant peace of work.

That was an extreme example, but consider also how many women out there have stretch marks for one reason or another and they'd like a rendering that reflects their body without those marks, or varicose veins, or scars, etc.

An artist can do a great deal of good things with a body that one might consider imperfect, while still remaining true to the subject.

Upcoming book cover

The neon is really appropriate and seems to work despite the loud colors. Nice job.

I had some "in-progress" illustrations laying around and I was going to post some of them to show the processes of the work. But now I can't find them...

... Damn!

:cool:

Thanks, I was thinking of neon lights of a night club, the setting of the story I'm working on, so I the other loud color in the pallet or than the hot pink is that electric blue.
 
Nice images. After seeing BS's pin up thread I was inspired. Brought out the pencil and paper. Tried to draw a female body. It sucked. And I'm supposed to be an art teacher this whole week at school. :rolleyes:

I so wish I could draw bodies! Then I could actually contribute to this thread. Will have to dig up the few drawings I've managed to do.

By all means... we'd love to see them!

What I love most about art is being able to see how the artist view the things that I see.
