I wanted to create something blatantly sexy for once. Heavily inspired by various comic book artists. I used various references for ideas, including clothes websites but none of which were direct copies. I played with the idea of using a lace texture on the stockings but in the end didn’t include it, I think it might have made the area too busy. The background just sort of worked its way into existence through multiple reworks and complete re-do’s. There are of course some obvious throwbacks to Alice in wonderland, text being the obvious one. The door references the first room Alice finds herself in that has the size alteration potion. And of course the Cheshire cat makes an appearance as an ominous face beyond the door. I originally was directly copying the door from the novel, including the black lines on the wall, didn’t include that either, although it does kinda look neat. Chose not to include a shadow, I didn’t forget it! I even played with a shadow being stretched all the way to the door as if it were being sucked into wonderland, but it looked odd since the shadow should logically be on the right side of her.

Well anyways, I hope I managed to create a tasteful version of a pin-up, was really fun working in this muted style. Original is 7500 x 5000 resolution, didn’t upload that for obvious reasons. Click for full-screen.
