Atom Eve - Preview!
Added 2021-08-01 01:46:49 +0000 UTCHey everyone, here's the preview of Atom Eve, the last pin-up of July!
I wanted to do an "casual version" of her, because personally, I think it's just more fun to do those alternative versions of heroes (like those versions of Starfire, Raven etc) than just "fanart number 29211293 of the character wearing her regular costume".
So I did my research on the comics and turns out she's using "regular daily" clothing quite a lot. Specially tanktops with jeans and square shaped earrings.
With that in mind, I made a more "summer" version of it, because well, you can't go wrong with a redhaired girl wearing that =D
Hope you guys like it!

thank you! I love doing those casual scenes. I wanted to do something summer themed, so I went back and forth on a few small adjustments of this pose. I tried several types of hairstyle, and at the end, this combination was the "winner"

2021-08-02 00:32:41 +0000 UTCWell, Iโm of two minds about this. I really kinda wanted to see her in costume. And youโre right, the warm summer months and sexy women in casual attire are perfect complements. But I was really hoping to see Eve in costume here. Rodin Esquejo produced one of my favourite takes on the character (his covers for โMorning Gloriesโ were phenomenal!) and I was certain that you, with your mad skills at illustrating would have launched her into a similar orbit. Maybe you can fool everybody and do a reverse NSFW and have her in costume then.

2021-08-01 16:53:21 +0000 UTCI do always enjoy when you take a character and put her in her "civvies" and have a scene of her just chilling. I know basically nothing about Atom Eve so I'll be appreciating this and the end piece as a nice pin up of a beautiful looking, beautifully painted woman ๐ธ (which I'm perfectly happy with!) As for this scene, I really like that pose that you've given her, the direct eye-contact and way her hair flows around her looks so enticing and sexy, while the way she has her glasses between her lips has this playful, coy feel to it that I love. I like how she's just leaning back but there's still dynamism to her pose with the asymmetry of both arms and legs, with foreshortening here too. Both the hands look great and with her right hand, I do just like how the fingers curl inwards while also rising up towards the pinky. And her curves down below look great, with the different positions of each thigh giving off a different feel, her left leg accentuates its curves as it rises, while the standing leg shows off her neutral curves. The clothes are looking great too, the tied-up shirt look is always sexy and getting a full midriff view is always appreciated ๐ And already there's clearly going to be a lot of nice detail in the shirt and jeans so I'll be looking forward to that! Excellent work so far! Your casual Eve is looking alluring and sexy in her relaxed state ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐

2021-08-01 10:18:10 +0000 UTCI had to do an "image search" of the comics because if I read too much about her I'd be spoiled for the series which I plan to watch soon lol

2021-08-01 05:20:03 +0000 UTCThere's a few reasons to go a different route. When I make a pin-up I have to keep in mind a composition that works for both SFW and NSFW versions. So doing superheroes in the "superhero outfit" is a very limiting in terms of what I can do, since they often use those outfits "on duty". I can't make an action scene because it wouldn't make sense to have a nude version in action. I can't make a more intimate scene because it screws the sfw version (a LOT of people would not like it because it's an oversexualized version of the character). So I often have to make the character "just standing there" in order to make both versions work. Also, to a lot of people it's interesting to see a more casual version because it shows the hero in a different light that's not often portrayed. Obviously everyone can have their opinion, but personally, my favourite superhero works are exactly the ones where they are in an alternative/casual outfit, mostly because I had room to work with the character and create something more unique.

2021-08-01 05:15:23 +0000 UTCthank you! I think it's cool to make those "out of work" moments, like I did with Starfire and Raven in the past =)
Lee
2021-08-01 04:54:49 +0000 UTCAs a longtime fan of the comic, it's really cool that you did research for this! Atom Eve's "civilian" outfits always have a very distinctive style, and you've nailed it.

2021-08-01 04:42:54 +0000 UTCI guess Iโll be the differing opinion and say Iโm a little disappointed it isnโt her superhero outfit. I hope the colors at least line up, otherwise, Iโm not sure how weโre supposed to really know that itโs Eve as opposed to โrandom attractive redheadโ. The piece looks beautiful of course, we knew it would since itโs Krys, butโฆ this isnโt what I think anyone thinks of when they think of Atom Eve.

2021-08-01 03:33:48 +0000 UTCGiving her casual clothing instead of her suit was definitely the right choice. Makeโs it 100 times more interesting.

2021-08-01 02:55:32 +0000 UTCbeing 100% honest I think most of those heroes outfits to be kinda silly lol. I'm much more into a functional "suit" (like black cat in the recent spiderman game, black widow on the movies etc) than that old "spandex bikini". So I thought it would be a nice change of pace to make her into a more casual outfit, while still keeping the idea of the character =D

2021-08-01 02:14:13 +0000 UTCmeanwhile, here it's 4 degrees celsius lol Also, the documentation part will be over this week \o/. So at least I won't have random meetings with bank and things like that anymore!

2021-08-01 02:11:26 +0000 UTCthank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Lee
2021-08-01 02:09:17 +0000 UTCTo be honest, the reason I never voted for her in any poll is her default look that I really don't like, but this is something I can get excited for! This is looking great so far and I love when women wear tops like that.

2021-08-01 01:58:51 +0000 UTCLooking good as always! Yet another reason why summer is a wonderful time of year. Hope you're doing well and that the moving process wasn't too much of a hassle in the end!
