Challenge #10 - Be My Valentine

Well hello there fellow pin-up artists and friends!  It has been a while.  I'm sorry for the hiatus.  Life got busy, but The Pin-up Challenge is back and ready for action!  What better way to start again then with another Valentine's Day theme.  It's been 1 year since I started this blog and we've had some fantastic submissions.  V-day was our most popular challenge last year so I can't wait to see what everyone does this year. Feel free to mix it up!  Draw a scene, draw a classic pin-up, but most of all stretch your creative muscles and have fun!

Check out last year's challenge for some inspiration and the posts made by everyone who contributed.

Challenge # 9 - Patriotic Pin-ups

It's election month!  I hope you all go out and vote, but after you vote draw a patriotic pin-up!  I'll let you interpret this one however you'd like, but besides the obvious pretty girl in sexy outfit, here are some themes to help you out:

• An Election themed girl/Politics
• "Bombshell Girls" that artists would paint on the side of WWII planes
• Historical Patriotic Women
• American War Propaganda
• Patriotic Women of other countries and cultures

I went ahead and drew out another Pin-Up Zombie for tonight.

Days of San Francisco Summer

This is my late entry for the "Days of Summer" challenge. I uh, did a single page comic rather than a pin-up for whatever reason.. (sorry Adam!) I might do a pin up of the girl in the comic and post it later. 

Being from Florida I find it hard to be in the "Summer" mood when Summer here is what I would consider Winter back home. This comic depicts a girl, I suppose myself, day dreaming of the Summer weather and cute Summer clothes and then of course misses the bus and has to wait in the frigid cold for an exaggerated 60 minutes. 

Hope you enjoy!

PS. Now I want a pink scarf and calf leather brown boots. Bugger. :(

Challenge # 8 - Zombies

We have risen from our graves. We have caught a disease. We have been chemically altered. We are zombies!  This October lets play tribute to the undead with some zombie pin-ups.  To get those gears a rollin' in your head, here is some inspiration from Brett Bean.
