lol They will be art prints, but I'll aim to offer a variety of sizes. I'll see what I can do about the tagline

However you choose to celebrate or not this day, here's my first attempt at the request for a dapper butch with pin-up femme pic.

I apologise for the tardiness. I was fumbling with learning about pin-ups, and along with some other things throwing my schedule out of whack, this pic took way long. I really don't know how well this turned out, so any feedback and suggestions would be most appreciated. PMs are welcome too.

Have a good day!

It's one of the things I was iffy about. Those were the kinds of pin-up art I saw, so I was thinking "contrast"?... *scratches head* Not sure if this was the kind of thing people were thinking of.

Do you like it? Does it work for you? I realize the nature of this thread but it's YOUR work. Your opinion is the only one that matters.

For the record, I like it. The femme isn't what I normally think of when I think of 'pin up' but I do like it. It's like a moment caught when the butch comes home after work and is greeted by his/her counterpart, who has prepared a romantic and/or naughty evening for them. That's how I read it, anyway. Others will read it differently.

Thank you for the idea setting While it's not how I'd think to depict a femme with a butch in suits, I wanted to give it a shot to broaden my understanding of the BF dynamics. eg How do femmes like to be depicted? Folks sounded excited about the idea too, so I wanted to get it right. Don't think I did though.

Overall, I'm greatly enjoying drawing BF themes, hence I'm open to ideas and suggestions.

For me, this is what pin up looks like:

She's definitely pin-up in the get-up. The pose is also pin-up. I think the whole concept of pin-up is provocative, come-hither, sex kitten. They are meant to be morale boosters for men (if I remember correctly.) They were also meant to sell things. We have pin-ups to this day in the likes of mechanics calendars with scantily clad women draped over things.

I like this also for the D/s energy because that appeals to me. With hys hands on his belt buckle, you know hys clothing is not going to stay on for long.

All your work is great! I wish I could sketch like that. I especially love this one
