Artist's Comments

Somebody asked me to do a Bettie Page. I wasn't sure who she actually was, turns out she was some glamour model from the late fifties and now somewhat of a cult icon. So there you go! :)

Corel Painter X

*Edit*

Levels adjusted, now available as a print

No, she was just a rebel for her time because she often posed nude. She wasn't ashamed of her body and I think she's beautiful. We call her a pin up girl because soldiers during WWII would have posters of these nudes and "pin them up" to stare at and forget the troubles of the war, etc.

You did a great job! Yeah she was a little out there for the 50's, she was into the whole whips and chains. :)
