Another Random Betty Boop

I'm re-uploading various images directly to the blog to better help people find them. Apparently, non-photographic images have a tendency to moulder in obscurity when uploaded directly to Picasa.

Betty Boop Meets Andy Warhol Wallpaper

I know that the whole Marilyn Monroe prints thing is pretty worn out, but I figured that one more version thrown into the global mix couldn't hurt. Behold! Betty Boop subbing in for Marilyn Monroe.

Have a Nice Day Wallpaper

This is my first wallpaper that's available on products. It's of a gun-toting, big-breasted "pin-up." There's definitely a lot more cartoon, here, than vixen, but that's cool. I like it a lot and am very happy with the way it turned out.

An Original

I've uploaded wallpapers of some of my first really original work. While much of my previous stuff has either been of other properties or heavily inspired by other properties, the general characteristics of this truly feel like mine.

This is not pin-up, nor is it really a vixen. It's a female figure, but highly distorted. I've boiled the construct down to pure form, and then exaggerated or wholesale deleted features. In a sense, that's what cartoons are, so maybe that explains why I find this so appealing. I love cartoons.

Most of my original work exists only in sketches, but with this first successful transfer to vectors, I hope to get ever more of it out there. Oh, and don't think I've given up on pin-ups, cartoons, or third party works. I've got many Betty Boops, Jessica Rabbits, and others in the pipeline.

Another Jessica Rabbit Wallpaper

Here's another permutation of my first Jessica Rabbit. It's not really feasible to post everything that I could, so if you have any requests, feel free to comment.

First Jessica Rabbit Wallpaper!

Yay! Jessica is done! And with cold weather ahead of me, I'll have plenty of time inside to work on even more! I've formatted her first as a standard Windows, right-aligned desktop wallpaper. I'll create a few more with this image and I'll also upload a very high-resolution image of her for your own use.

Betty Boop Wallpaper

I noticed that the Betty I have in my logo is my runaway first place in views, with over 100,000 from my various hosts. I figured a wallpaper was overdue. I had a lot more fun with shadow to bring some serious depth to the images. It moves ever further away from the original, but I'm feeling safer doing that as time goes by.

Here are the two color schemes.

FIRST JESSICA RABBIT WALLPAPERS!!

OMGZ! I actually got something done!

I've been gone for quote awhile and haven't really had a chance to work on anything, but I'm feeling pretty good now that I've managed to poop out something.

This isn't what Jessica will eventually look like, because I'm still working on all of the details, which are REALLY hard to recreate in vectors. But since I had the outline done, I figured an artsy silhouette wallpaper was in order.

Much like the one I did for Betty Boop, I tried to distill the image of Jessica to its primary lines. Make it simple while still communicating that it was her. I wasn't able to do this with Red Hot Riding Hood, and it was basically Betty's head that let me do it with her (Snicker), but Jessica was easily communicated with the two things that most define her construct, her hair and boobs.

I added shoes and lips because I like adding lips to these silhouettes, not sure why, and the shoes just seemed to balance the image, with bits of red on both ends giving the image an enclosed look. Also, I think I may have a shoe fetish. I'm gonna' go feel up a strapless pump and see what happens.

Regardless, here they are, Jessica Rabbit Wallpaper #1

I also was going to a color invert on a black background, but instead of being so boring I whipped up a sparkly mess to convey her image. I used the same filter that I'm using to render her dress in the final image. Here, it's just for fun.

First Bimbo Wallpapers

My first Bimbo wallpapers! He may not be a vixen, but his name is now basically a derogatory term for women, and I'm pretty sure I'm insulting women by objectifying them on this website, so it all comes full circle. Or something.

New Betty Boop Wallpapers

I finally got around to making some wallpapers from one of the images I finished.

It's of Betty standing in her famous... gun?... pose. The images are situated to the left to facilitate a pile of desktop icons to the left. I guess it's the opposite on Mac desktops, but if you're using a Mac, you're undoubtedly super-creative and make your own desktop images, anyhow.

I made B&W versions, and as usual I made the lips red. There's just something about that. I'll have some center-positioned wallpapers up soon, and I'll also have the Betty Boop logo done and available. Otherwise, enjoy.

A Little Break

I've been taking a little break from vector work to indulge my other artistic endeavor, photography.

I'm producing desktop wallpapers at 16:10 widescreen and 4:3 standard screen ratios all the way up to, I believe, the highest resolutions currently available.

If you're interested, stop by fo-to-gra-fe.blogspot.com and download some nice wallpapers.

A note on my wallpapers.

I thought I should make mention of why my images are usually shifted to the right in my wallpapers. I'm assuming that the bulk of the people coming to my blog are coming in on Windows machines, and windows currently defaults to aligning icons and other desktop clutter to the left. So for the sake of order, the image is on the right, and your various pr0n-related shortcuts (you perv) will be on the left.

More Betty Boop Wallpapers

Here's some more wallpapers of Betty. I posted in both 4:3 (1600x1200) and 16:10 (1920x1200), this time, and made a black and white version with the red lips that I like so much. I dunno' what my deal with that is. I like kissing, I think. I should do it more often. Where is my cat?

The watermark is again just in the corner and easily editable-out. I put it in there primarily so people wandering by in Google search know from whence the image came.

Red Hot Riding Hood Wallpaper 1 at 4:3, as promised.

I said I'd upload it, and here it is.

And while I was at it, I did some palette swaps and made some clean, simple backgrounds with the image.

I tried making the silhouette look of my Betty wallpapers, but Red's outline isn't iconic enough to really make any sense out of it. I really liked the black & white image, so I blew it up into a couple of other zooms of the same image and general layout.

More Red Hot Riding Hood Wallpapers

Yes, my first wallpaper was called #2 and this is #1. I jump around in my work. Hell, I still haven't uploaded Betty Boop #1.

This image had a lot of gradients in it, so here it is in .png. If anyone wants it in .jpg or .gif, just post a comment. I tried it in .jpg and, at 100%, it looked fine, but the image was nearly 700kb. This .png is only 350-ish. Much more efficient and it looks better to boot.

This is a 16:10 ratio at 1920x1200 resolution.

Red Hot Riding Hood Wallpaper 2

Here's a trio of wallpapers made with my most recent creation. I figured three with differing colors mixes it up effectively. These are all 16:10 ratio at 1920x1200 resolution, but I'll upload 4:3 ratio wallpapers soon.

Again, these are all .gif files. I lose a lot of color information, but it doesn't have any compression artifacts like .jpg, which looks like crap. I'd upload them as .png files, but setting those as wallpapers seems to not go well with some video cards. Since I usually rely on solid colors, I'm not worried. I have some wallpapers with a lot of gradients, I'll likely upload those as .png files, damn the video cards.
