melons of om.
another new illustration for an article in the las vegas weekly, this time about a porn convention! taking that into consideration, i think i managed to keep the cheesecake to a fairly sedate level, but i will warn you; never before in my art career have i drawn melons so large. not that these ones are any larger than what you'd see on your average female background character in what we call "ze comics," but still.

to counteract the extremely sparkly sordidness of the aforementioned, i'm also including a sketch of everybody's favorite son of a serial-womanizer-for-justice hot multiracial vigilante buddhist monk, connor hawke. i drew him for the lovely [info]rubynye on the occasion of her never have i ever birthday meme.

not that i have any idea what you could possibly mean, but she's not meant to be me if that's what you are somehow implying, my heart. editorial mandate was, make her look like tera patrick. and i just so happen to look like one eighth the woman tera patrick is.

if you are accusing that she looks like j. lo, well. i tried to fix it but i COULDN'T, okay??

and if you are accusing that she looks like malibu porn barbie... is that really such a crime?

<3 you, beanbean.

I can't tell who is hotter. *_* Porn lady makes me feel weird and Connor is just sex with Buddhist beads on.

And pfft, you have yet to truly draw melons of an epic size, ming. You are only just beginning.

she makes you feel "weird," huh? heee! she reminds me a bit of koriand'r. must be the purple lingerie... type... thing, she's wearing. or the hair. or the boobs. anyway, dick would like her. *g*

Connor is just sex with Buddhist beads on.

that's his official tagline from now on! i so declare it.

but please don't tell me those melons aren't epically proportioned! i just don't think i could survive drawing a larger pair...!

I know I'm supposed to be staring at her boobies ... but she has such a pretty face. So dreamy, such excellent bone structure, such lovely creamy skin tones!

I fail as a pervert.

i don't know, based on your comment i'd say that you exceed at being a pervert, or rather an aesthetic sensualist. whatever the case, YOU WIN, okay?? and thank you so much. <3

You were able to make AVN look fairly classy and that is no easy task! I see a lot of the materials my co-workers who attend the AVN convention and it's usually pretty damn tacky and usually involves design/graphic styles that were hot about 5 years ago. Ah, pr0n, always leading with the klassiness.

"klassiness," ha! what a word concoction, i love it. and i'm immensely gratified that you'd consider my illustration even vaguely in the same region as a classy ballpark, because it's probably the downright sleaziest thing i've ever drawn. but i must admit, i had a lot of fun coming up with her "outfit," and it provides way more coverage than any of the duds i saw on the AVN spokeswomen i found online. so, there is that.

ming; covering up the pr0n industry with klass, since 2008! *g*

Your Porn Girl is actually really lovely, you know. And her expression is so sweet.

And Connor continues to be gorgeous beyond all believing. :D

God was generous when it came to giving you talent. Wow.

Connor looks utterly fantastic, you managed to make him look unique and not like every other guy (which most comic artists seem to do, making everyone look the same)while still keeping him attractive but I'm floored by your, er, porn girl drawing. It's good that you did it, the girl is lovely and it doesn't come across as being too raunchy (Which is ironic). And even if her boobs are huge, they are still pretty much not defiant to gravity and you've even given her a proper body. Proper thighs and hips? Hell yes!

And your style is really fantastic and unique and you should be very proud :]

...*wonders what a huge buddhist-themed pinup of the arrow family would look like if drawn by you*

BECAUSE Connor over there strikes me dead.

Hi there, sordid melons.

*time passes*

*koff* Er, yes, where was I.

That's hot. I mean, she looks like a reproductively normal adult woman (who is hot). Do you have her number, at all?

:D

Her outfit is so impossibly cute!!

And I love the movement and ribbony look of her hair and the whole Jack-in-the-Box theme. It's sexy without being trashy.

And NAWW OH CONNOR. This has to be one of the best Connors I've seen, dude. Honestly, it seems that most comicbook artists are like "WHAT? I gotta draw a mixed-race, blond son of Oliver? This mean's he's GOTTA be fugly! I'll just draw him with Euro-features, but just kinda weird-looking, okay?" NOT OKAY, PROFESSIONAL MORON. It means Connor is breathtakingly gorgeous.

And finally, because of you, he finally is. *happy sigh*

I am strangely allured by that girl's stockings.

Oh dear. Connor looks so cute in that outfit. And it's so neat to him looking like he's actually multiracial instead of white.

That is a fantastic illustration -- perfect! And I totally assumed it was Kory on first, second, and third glances. *ahahahaa* What does that *say*, oh comics industry? Yes, Dick would like her quite a lot. I adore her, and that little jill-in-the-box thing you've got going on. Rarrr. I'd watch porn with her in.

Meanwhile, CONNOR. OMG *gorgeous*, lady! I love the old-school look for him, and sincerely hope that they've brought it back for good -- oh wait, I think DC did the Bad Thing to him --

LA LA LA LA LA DIDN'T HAPPEN LA LAAAAAAAAAA

Um. Which is to say: MOUTH. Eyes. That *nose*. He's glorious, just the way he should be. If I had a choice between following Dick down the street and following Connor...

Well, I'd be a *VERY HAPPY TE*. But -- mmm. I'd have to go with Connor, every time. Tell me *all* about your zen, papi...

I can't tell you how much I like your Connor. He's got a very tricky mix of ethnic features, and you nailed them perfectly, in just the right ratios, without losing sight of the fact that he's the guy all the girls squee over. I've studied just enough art to know that that's a lot harder than you make it look.
