Description
Wrongrobot’s Rudiments No. 2 – B is for Bare Knees
Third Rail Thrills No. 67
TRDL 2011 Series, No. 76

This piece was done for the Supergirl (New 52) jam on the TRDL R3 Forum and TRDL-R3-WeeklyJam group

I haven’t read much in the way of Supergirl, and remember her mainly from 80s DC Comics in which she appeared, such as Crisis. I don’t have much sense of her in the modern period, though I always kind of liked the costume, because realistically, it has a flowy cheerleader type skirt and boots, and that appealed to my ribald instincts. When I saw the slew of New 52 reboot designs, I liked some and feared for others, but Supergirl was sort of in the middle there. I liked the look of the design overall, but I didn’t think the ‘panty triangle’ business was flattering on the pelvis if the legs moved or bent at all, and the knee overlap thing going on really stymied me. After exploring it in a few roughs for this piece, I came to terms with the knee boots thing, visualizing the upper part more like a thigh bracer or something, rather than thigh high boots with the knees cut out. Anyway, I generally enjoyed doing this pinup. It’s the second of a new pin-up series called Wrongrobot’s Rudiments, based on the alphabet trope. You can find the normal Third Rail Thrills pinup format in the process notes below, if you like that collection better.
