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:
