My second idea is a cover for a pulp anthology comic book entitled Tales of High Adventure.
I have some reference and a Color Thumbnail. trying to get some things worked out.
I did a basic overlay of her and then started to tweak it. I need to take some shots of a model to nail it down. I took my other reference shots from House on Sorority Row for Dr. Surgeon.
Love this scene, hes all blue and purple and the background is green and weird. This is actually at a dance at the titular sorority house.
I added a third figure in the back, the guy in the tube, filling with gas! No reference for this, just drew it, supposed to have a light source on him from above inside the tube! Will maybe change the color depending on fit with rest of composition.
So still need to work on the Woman figure but most of the parts are there. I thought I’d put her in a red dress but could easily change that. Pulp is all about big loud colors and I’m trying to keep true to that.
