Josie and the Pussycats and Pussies

Josie and the Pussycats. It should be so easy to come up with a pussy joke here, and yet I can't come up with one. Damnit.

And here's the sketch version, 'cuz I wanted to save it in case the colouring didn't work out.

You know the tights turn you on...

I have a drinking game I play at comic conventions. You tally up the number of times you see Rainbow Brite over the course of the day (includes costumes, posters, artist booths, etc...) and at the end of the night you have that many drinks. Bizzare ritual or chronic alcoholism? You decide!

At any rate... Those are some sexy tights. Originally I was going to do Rainbow Brite/Strawberry Shortcake, but I got halfway through and decided to leave it as is.

Here, have some bonus stuff:

Pencil sketch. Clearly, my scanner needs to be cleaned.

Lines filled in in MS paint because the pencil sketch is just about impossible to see.

My attempt at colouring the photo in Photoshop. I think it looks good; the colours are more vibrant; but it loses some of the esoteric charm of the crayons. I might do more of these later, but my trial version of PS is about to expire, so I also might not.

Massive nerd points if you get the reference

This one was originally going to have Hank fucking Sheila, but I drew her first and really ended up liking how she looked (particularly her breasts and hair) so I decided that she would just be watching so that I could show her full body, rather than block her with Hank.

And, as an added bonus... The uncoloured version (with MS Paint filling in the lines for visibility).

You might notice a couple differences here. First, Diana is missing her arm bracelet and boots. Eric and Diana are missing a foot. These I forgot at first and added after I had scanned the sketch version. Diana and Sheila are also missing some important parts of their anatomy (nipples, vag). That's because I tend to add these things last in crayon since I don't find they need lines to be defined before I colour. Anyways, there's your look behind the process.

On a side note, I've decided that I need to get a bigger box of crayons that contains more than one shade of brown. Between the tree, the stump, Hank's leather, his belt, Diana, Diana's nipples, and Sheila's and Diana's boots, it kind of all runs together. Though for the observant, the stump and Hank's leather is coloured in orange-red, with a brown outline, but it would've been nice to have a yellowy-brown I could've used. Ah well.
