Saints and harlots

"But I hold against you that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and teaches my servants deceitfully to practice immorality and to eat offerings made to idols." (Revelation 2, 20)
Yes, I'm back working on the Apocalypse again.

As is often the case with these religious rants, women are portrayed as either caring, motherly saints or whoring abominations.
Here's one of the latter variety:

Her looks are somewhat inspired by beautiful redhead Barbara Meier, winner of Heidi Klum's bloated casting extravaganza, Germany's Next Topmodel.

Wanda again...

Yes, once again the buxom crime fighter returns to these pages. This one dates back to 2003, I had finished the second story line and was toying with ideas of a costume change.

Hence the stripey shirt and trainers.
Daring brushwork, eh?

Dabei im T3!

Letzten Sonntag war ich seit langem mal wieder auf Signiertour, diesmal ging es in das freundliche Städtchen Frankfurt am Main, wo Piwi und die Dinter-Brüder zur Disco Amore Releaseparty bliesen.

Im hervorragenden Fachgeschäft Terminal 3ntertainment bereiteten uns Ekki (zweiter von rechts) und Gerhard (nicht im Bild), zwei Aufrechte aus der Gilde der Comichändler, einen fürstlichen Empfang. Ebenfalls die Ehre gaben sich, ganz links im Bilde, Kirsten und Horus, der seinen nun aber wirklich allerallerletzten Comic, Post mortem Blues, präsentierte. Ich hatte natürlich Argstein im Gepäck.
Dankbare Skizzenjäger, alte Freunde und neue Kollegen wimmelten froh, die Kalauer schwirrten, der Apfelwein floss. Schön war's.
Vielen Dank daher an Piwi für Geduld und Herberge, an Ekki und Gerhard für Engagement und Fahrtkostenerstattung, an Kirsten und Horus für Rindswurst und Tischgespräche, an Alex für die Fotos und an die Dinter-Brüder für die Dinter-Brüder.
Immer gerne wieder!

Jump!

Here's another drawer bottom find of a plump teenager leaping for dear life with a bug eyed mutant monster in pursuit...

This was to be an acrylic on canvas painting. I remember being quite taken by the teenager, but didn't think the monster was all that hot, so I dropped the whole thing.

Drawer bottom find

Happened upon a stack of sketchbook pages from a few years back at the bottom of some dusty drawer, so I'm sorted for WOTW-material for a while :o)
There are diverse examples of pencilled pulchritude there, but a lot of the material of course shows my chica number one, Wanda Caramba.
Here she is in a swimsuit.

Though not necessarily in a swimsuit pose. I like this picture for Wanda's soft eyed facial expression and her down-to-earth stance.
