20,000 Page Views Pin-up.

For those who also follow me over on deviantart, I’m currently asking for pin-up ideas to draw to celebrate when my page hits 20,000 views later in the year. I like to try and do pin-ups as a thank you
to regular visitors to my account when I hit a certain number of views, and will be trying to do so when I reach 20,000 in a few months.

Check out my most recent deviantart journal entry for details.

The Name Of Babayka Land Is…

Wow, what are the chances that it’s the Easter period, and this week I’d have to draw a panel with a bunny in it?

Question: Does the actual remote Russian location where Brides Of Babayka and Babayka Land actually takes place finally get named in this week’s instalment?

Answer: Yes it does.

And it only took me two years, three months and a hundred and two pages to finally get around to name dropping it. A little bit of Babayka-Lives history is made today.

Catch Of The Day.

So here’s the pay off to my last couple of blog posts.

As I mentioned last time, I have indeed been working on another girl and monster pin-up, only this one is a little different and something new for me. The difference being, this time I worked with a model on this image. I had always flirted with the idea of having a model pose for a pin-up, but right now with Babayka-Lives taking up all my free time, and lack of studio space and a decent camera also being a problem, it’s just something I haven’t been able to pursue. So a massive thanks to model Mercedes the Muse for being awesome enough to pose and help make this image happen. It was a lot of fun to pit fetish model against evil monster of my own creation, and something I‘ve been wanting to do for ages. I also think it gives the pin-up more character, knowing that it’s not just a generic damsel, but in fact a real life model starring in the picture, and makes it a lot cooler, too. Using a real life model and is something I wish I could do more often in my work.

Been wanting to do some feral, inbred, woodsman horror for a while, but could never find the right idea until now. This was going to be a follow up to my Nom Nom Nasties cover from a couple of years ago, but thought it was a strong enough idea in the end, that it would be better if I did it as its own thing. I really wanted to push the twisted beauty and the beast style aspect of this image.    

Sometimes with pin-ups, I like to throw in a little blurb to set the scene. Here’s what I came up with for this image: Mercedes picks the wrong remote lake to do some lone late night skinny dipping in, as she find herself ‘Catch Of The Day’ for a prowling, local, inbred, cannibal hillbilly. Now a prisoner of this sinister backwoods dweller, she finds herself on her way to a ‘Dinner Date’, but can she escape before she finds out if she’s the ‘Dinner’ or the ‘Date’.

Again, a big thanks to Mercedes The Muse for taking time out of her busy schedule to play ‘Scream Queen’ for me. People can check out her work HERE.

Girl Meets Monster.

I rarely, if ever, post thumbnails on my blog. But keeping in theme with last week’s post, to wet your appetites, I thought I’d post the thumbnails to my latest pin-up coming your way very soon. Plus I thought some readers might get a kick out of seeing how my pin-ups start life, before I get round to drawing them.

I don’t wanna oversell this forthcoming pin-up, but it might be the best girl\monster one I’ve ever done.

An Over The Cheek Peek.

Just a quick, crappy camera-phone pic of what I’m working on right now. Taking some time out to do a quick damsel and monster pin-up (although this one will be a little different, and something new for me.) Can’t say too much about it just yet, but here’s a sneak peek over the cheek for you all. Hope you enjoy.

This is one of those blog updates that makes no sense now, but hopefully when all is revealed, you’ll look back on fondly.
