Nothing interesting in the last couple days, which as we all know is not necessarily a bad thing. Been drawing. Here's a blast from the past: Shanna the She-Devil, looking all 1950s. As well she should, since I nicked the pose from an old jungle girl movie poster.

Any particular qualities you want for her?

that she indulges your flights of fantasy and is a pleasure to draw

I like the way you think.

Okay, off to look at leather specialty sites...

oooooooooooooh...

Stormy Leather is a good one, as is Romantasy and Dark Garden

if you find other good ones let me know, I'm always up for more corsets to drool at.

I can't remember where I went - they were linked off http://www.goth.net. One got an immediate thumbs-down for having animated gifs of flaming torches. The other was a bit on the Fredericks side (do you have Fredericks of Hollywood there?), but the photos were clear enough to show the corsetry construction, which was the main thing.

I've started pencilling. The garment itself will probably not be constructed of barbed wire, but it will definitely be a motif.

I'm just a tad weirded out that, for an amateur, I seem to have a definite affinity for the thing. On the other hand, 20 years of super-hero comics will do that to a girl. (At the local comics shop one day, John the manager and I spent an amused half-hour poring over some Euro rubber fetish magazine they'd just got in, spotting which hardcore latex and rubber garments were absolutely identical to many of the then-current heroines' costumes.)

I will go home and pretend to be normal now.
