Penelope Pitstop - Hyung Tae Kim Style (Update)

I finally found some time to work on this - my freelance work kept taking all my spare time... I have spent tedious work on the boobs-area, the hair and the face, and I also found a new enemy: SHOES. Forget the knees - SHOES are the devil. Seriously:P

It's not finished yet, I'll have to scrape the courage to start on the hands (uhoh), give her those awesome goggles and finish the umbrella - hopefully I'll find some inspiration for the background :)
Enjoy!

Penelope Pitstop - Hyung Tae Kim Style

Every once in a while, I tend to copy some of my favourite artists to try and be as awesome as they are. My absolute number one favourite is Hyung Tae Kim, a Korean artist with a knack for anatomy - impossible and exaggerated anatomy that is. He often draws his character in the most dynamic poses, while adjusting the anatomy to fit the flow. Bt not only does he excel in anatomy, his use of colour is absolutely drool-worthy. He was the artist from which I learned colour and lighting techniques.

This time, I wanted to re-imagine Penelope Pitstop (I love her Dutch translated name more, 'Pitspoes') and make give her some curves! It is still a work-in-progress, but I already love the latex feel of her suit! Enjoy, and 'til the next update:)



The sketch, you can see I hate knees...



The W.I.P. itself. I love the way the rim highlight makes the image pop.
