Rocket Girl!!!!

Long time no post.... oops. Anyway, here's a quickie. I was asked to contribute a pin-up illustration in a 1950's space pulp style to volume 2 of StarShipSofa Stories.

I'm a huge fan of Al Williamson & Wally Wood's scifi stuff, so not surprisingly, some of those influences came thru in this piece. I added the Zip-a-tone/Lettratone effect in Photoshop, to give it a slightly more retro feel. I used to use no end of sheets of that stuff on my black & white work back in the 80's.

Now all I have to do is come up with an origin story for her, & issue one of Rocket Girl will be in the stores before you know it.....*ahem*
