Lestat

Hey there!
Welcome to my new blog. So, basically, this blog is going to consist of pin up girls, themed as whatever I feel like theming them as. Movies, books, television shows, ect.. Mainly books. Cause I read.. a lot.
So, for my first blog, I chose to theme my pin up girl off of Anne Rice's vampire series. Specifically Lestat's character.

Lestat was probably my favorite character.. aside from Claudia. Evil children are awesome.

The idea is, it's suppose to be like a cover for the book. The book being "The Vampire Lestat", since that one is more centered around Lestat.

So, on to the picture!
This is just one of the sketches I did. A handful of them were much more messy and hard to follow. I tried cleaning this one up for you guys so that you could sort of see my whole process.



Yeah, I know, really rough.
Next one is the clean line art. This came after tweaking the sketch a few more times.



Then the flat colour and a simple grey background with a purple lighting.



Finished arts!



Yeah, I skipped a lot of steps on the last one there. But I think you get the idea.

Incase you don't know anything about Lestat, he's a vampire. XD Obviously. He has long, blonde hair, about shoulder length. No, Lestat is not a girl. As I said earlier; it's just a theme.
He wears nice clothes. Like really nice clothes. Sometimes he will stop mid-narration just to describe what he's wearing. He's an older vampire, so I put the pin up in a poofy white shirt, with a vest over top. Originally, I was going to put her in those weird pants with the stockings (you can kind of see the outline of that in the very first sketch), but I changed my mind, and traded it for a belt and.. well, underwear.

I don't exactly like the hair. I'm working on it, but, I find that I always do the skin realistic looking, and the hair never looks quite as realistic. Maybe it's just me. ._.

I'll probably fix this up a little bit... I'll post that here.

(Edit!)

Hii. :D
So, I changed the hair a bit. I'm still not completely happy with it. But, I really just want to post my next Pin up now. So, here it is.

  1. Wow! This is awesome! Nice pose, great job on the folds of the clothing, and I love the hair! It's much better in the second one, I think, it's pale enough to match the rest of her colour scheme, if that makes sense.
