Description Here at last!!

I realized that I have a problem with doing pin-ups "for myself" (instead of doing it in convention for instance).

I can't do it if there isn't any restrictions (beyond the "weekly" notion).

Since I'm right now working on colours, I used Iron Fist to try stuff on it

The version on the left is quite unexpected. I wanted an Acuna stuff, I ended up with, well, I don't know
I like it somehow, but I wouldn't want it on interior pages, way too "antidynamic".

The version on the right appeared during the first colorisation. I saw that Acuna was drawing pencils lines which would then disappear, using them as shadow and anatomy marks. I liked th superposition of the pencils and the shadow.

Any comments are more than welcome, of course

I don't know when will appear the next Iron Fist I hope next week, still about the colours stuff.

Take Care!

i say no to the style on the left. its kind of rough and air-brushed (which goes badly with your simplistic style.) style on the right is very much in the right direction. though, try shading with a different color that ISN'T a darker version of the base color, then play with the layer's oppacity, see what happens.

to be honest i like the right side alot!

I'm really digging the second version like everybody else, but there are great things about the first one too. The face in the first one is nicely rendered, and you may just need to take that approach to the rest of it.

I think it's because the rendering doesn't quite agree with the linework, notably in the abdominals. Acuna simplifies the anatomy so it's almost closer to real life.

Still really strong graphical work Geoff, and I'm glad you are striking out and experimenting.

hey thanks for the noticing the face on the first part, I like it too!

But yeah, abdominals like this have to be forbidden in my style

thanks for the tip about Acuna and the comment

I agree with Guile! The second version is better!

yep seems to me too thanks a lot my friend. I do like some part on the first version though (like the face).

Really good stuff!!!
I kinda like both.... but the second one is probably more "Geoffo style"...
Keep it up !

I prefer the second version too. You could use another flat color for highlight, but since your basic colors are rather warm, don't use white (even with some transparency), use rather a light yellow with some transparency) or a lighter/yellower green. On a same level, never use black to shadow your colors. Keep up the good work !

Funny you are telling me about another flat color, that was what I as telling to Guile just before your comment

Thanks pal, everybody seems to agree with that. I think it lacks something though (maybe another flat colour, a more shinny one, not sure)
