Noel

I've been working the last couple of days on a pin-up for Kevin Freeman and Stan Yan's highly entertaning SubCulture comic, the first issue of which hits the streets this fall. Here are a few sketches of the female lead, the sassy, cynical Noel, just to get a feel for the character.





Then I set in to tackle the actual pinup... I figured Noel seemed like the type of girl who'd sit on the roof of her apartment building and drink a tallboy out of a paper bag, so that's the image I went with:





I thought the pose was a little stiff though, so I had her slouch a little more for the final:





I stared inking it this afternoon, so it oughta be finished soon...I'll check with Kevin and see if it's cool to post the final!
