Gert lets her hair down
🕑 Added 2018-06-20 21:23:13 +0000 UTC Gert hits the showers in a new marker pin-up! You'll find it in the Recent Additions folder of the Pin-Up Vault. You'll also find a bonus sketch of an alternate version of the Dev shower piece from a few months back. (Both pieces are NSFW.)The Dev sketch is a historical curiosity, from when I briefly considered having her posing for the "camera" instead of having a private moment. It was the first nude I'd ever drawn of her, so I was really overthinking how to approach it conceptually.
The Gert piece was inspired by two things. One: I wanted to see what she might look like with her hair down! And two, I wanted a piece I could use as an example of a nsfw commission.
A lot of my stuff is "all ages" friendly. My convention booth in particular is covered in stuff that attracts children! So when I'm putting out example commissions, it can be a little tricky to convey that I do some nsfw material without scaring off parents with kids from the rest of my work. (Even a censored sample piece can do that for some people!) I am having the same problem with the VOTE DOG Kickstarter page. Although I'm happy to do nsfw pin-up commissions for that project -- whatever helps fund the book! -- I don't really want to post any examples, because the book itself is kid-friendly.
Long story short, I thought maybe I could draw an example piece that conveyed that I drew racier stuff, but that was not actually too scandalous in and of itself. With Gert's hair down, I figured I could do a tasteful nude, using her hair to mostly censor the naughty bits.
But... it really didn't make sense for Gert's hair to be waist long, even undone. So, I shortened it, and she just wound up extremely bottomless. Mission failed! Cute drawing, though, I think!
Lots more coming later this month, including more Stripopoly. 'til next time!

Haha, thanks! I started with a sketch similar to the final version, but I worried the, er, subject matter might be a bit too suggestive for Dev's first piece. So I tried this one as an alternate approach! But ultimately I decided to go with the original, even if it was more "adult", just because it felt more natural and fitting for the character. (And in the end I get the impression that everyone was JUST FINE with stuff getting a little more adult anyway, lol)

I have to admit, the final version of the Dev shower pic definitely works better than the sketch. I think 'fly on the wall' was the right approach there. At the time I thought the subject matter of the final piece was a bit shocking, but I can see how it evolved from this idea into a more natural scene and it was clearly the right choice.
