Description

This is one out of three pin-up ladies I painted for Kennedy & Monk for the computer game “Battlestations Midway” from EIDOS. It was a different and very exiting experience working on these illustrations. They were heavily art directed by a very talented director, and we had a good time developing this

The game is available on XBox-360 and PC.

Painted using Photoshop CS2 with a Wacom Intuos tablet. I spent MANY hours on this one, I don’t know how many exactly. We studied lots of pictures by old-school pin-up artists, like Vargas.

Original size is 10000 pixels tall.

Excellent work, I'm impressed how you can vary your style so differently, and still come up with something that's in the same league as your other pieces.

Lovely ! Even the folding on her clothes are amazingly rendered. You catched the style of these years also with the font used. Although there's maybe a little proportion issue with her legs which are a bit too long to my taste Top marks anyway!

pretty long-legged lady! Very 50's!

Vince: I think the elongation is intentional

Nice, I'd love to see where she's going. Will it be as a sheet, or a pinup girl painted on a plane?

Slick: Thanks, but I also owe a lot to the AD for busting my balls about every little detail on these girls, hehe.

Excorbac: Yes, they wanted the girls to have loooong legs, hehe. Also, we didn't want the girls to be perfect copies of the pin-ups from that period, so we made their faces a bit more modern.

Soet: They're using these illustrations for PR purposes. They are to be found on misc web-sites promoting the game, on calendars and posters that you can buy, and also on 1:1 scale cardboard cut-outs. Damn, I wish I could have them in full scale, hehe...

Everyone else: Thanks a lot for taking your time to watch and comment :)

Nice work as usual and I can see how hard you've worked on it. But I don't like it very much. Perhaps because it's a piece for game you've made it a bit cartoonish. You Henning Ludvigsen is one of my most favourite and adorable artists so I always have a very high expectation to see your new works. My impression about your art consists of the semi-realism works like Equilibrum, Wall, The Dragon Caller, etc and I think they are the works that really show your style and your talent. This artwork just doesn't belong to that style.

Sorry for my long and useless words. Whatever happens this is still a great work of yours +9/9

mysticcat: Thanks for your critique, but this time I had to follow my clients guidelines, and believe me when I say they were carved in stone, hehe. It was fun to try out something new, though. Personal pieces is something different :)

It seems like it's been awhile since I commented on your work since I seem to have been repeating myself. Well, I need to do it again...beautiful work nce again! This is something different with your style and I think it looks great! You deffinately captured the pin-up feel. Even the font is done well to look like it's really from the era! Nice job bud!

Sorry I'm late!

Excellent work my friend
It certainly has that vintage feel to it, but still
recognizable as a Henning artwork

Bravo + 10

Oh and her legs are yummm

Just had a look at all 3 pics - they are really well done, the 50's style just shines out. You've got the expressions exactly right too! +9/10

I love the old school pics. This reminds me of Christina Aguilera in her video "Candy Man." Beautiful work.
