Description I'm so glad I got to do this. I was excited when =WraithTen asked me to ... *ahem* when I convinced her to let me paint her as a classic pin up girl. I stayed up all day/night to get this done.

This is for you Sweetie, I hope you like it.

Total time: 14 hours.

Um ehrlich zu sein kânnten manche Frauen am Strand durchaus ein bißchen mehr "Badeanzug" gebrauchen.

A Tory Tribute.
A testament to a friendship that could span the ages.
Terrific tones, Michelle and totally captured that Tory temptress!

Thank you so much, Svenja! I had fun putting Tory in this type of outfit and trying to make her look so retro.

Yeah, just got back from ten days of no internet. Then I had to struggle through 100+ emails and 160 deviations, so got to it a lil late.

Oh, she is so beautiful, and you really captured that here! She also looks a little unsure, as if even painted Tory is nervous of people looking at her. I love her classic swimsuit. All in all, great colors and wonderful piece!

tanabatablossom In reply to NatalieKelsey [2008-09-17 15:18:19 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much Natalie! I think she'd be like that in real-life too if she had to actually pose for a photograph like that. I'm glad you like it.

NatalieKelsey In reply to tanabatablossom [2008-09-17 15:47:08 +0000 UTC]

You'd never get her that far in real life. You'd have to drug her. Secretly.

tanabatablossom In reply to NatalieKelsey [2008-09-17 16:14:03 +0000 UTC]

In that case I'd better send her a large box of specially coated donuts.

Nah, she spews that half the time whenever I just say something remotely harmless, then she goes all red on me. That'd be a waste of coffee.

Beautiful colours!! This is really really beautiful, how did you get her swimsuit to look so real??! Very nice, I'm sure Tory is beyond flattered!!

Thank you very much, Jess! That's good if you think the suit looks real. I guess the creases are what make or break it. Yes, she loves this pinup of her.

Ah definitely---I'm working on the shirt right now in my current piece and well, as of now it looks too organic. I've got to study clothing texture more! And you're very welcome!

tanabatablossom In reply to ellastasia [2008-09-18 19:47:30 +0000 UTC]

I think tops in general are a little easier to do than say, skirts. Like you, I have to study those as well more closely.

What did I miss! what did I miss! why are there so many hidden comments!

But anyway, you totally nailed Tory's expression this time around. You've nicely captured that "Um, I don't know if I should be smiling or not. Am I smiling? Maybe you shouldn't take this picture..." look she has on her face in almost every photo with her in it.

Nice bathing suit! and nice gams!

Okay, see, here's the thing. I really, really want to give you grief over the, well, you know. But your comment: "You've nicely captured that "Um, I don't know if I should be smiling or not. Am I smiling? Maybe you shouldn't take this picture..." look she has on her face in almost every photo with her in it." Just cracks me up too much because you know me so well.

Oh and [whips carrot toy at Far].

tanabatablossom In reply to DarthFar [2008-09-16 21:37:45 +0000 UTC]

LOL! You missed total mayhem! Tory and David where up when I posted this and of course David drooled all over her calling her a "dish" and a "foxy lady" and Tory schnertzed powdered sugar all over the place which prompted David to crawl around her on all fours snorting it up. Then Tory said she wanted the suit, to which David replied that he's good with a needle and thread and Tory is going all red because David will need to take measurements first. That's a summary of the hidden comments, in a nutshell. Just the usual chaos.

I like that half smile she's got going on, like she knows she looks hot but is too embarrassed to show it. Thanks Far, glad you like this and her gams.

DarthFar In reply to tanabatablossom [2008-09-18 03:20:17 +0000 UTC]

I should think that David's dangerous enough without having to snort sugar...
