BooBies Calendar #6 – June

By on Wednesday, September 3, 2014

It’s been a long time since we’ve had a BooBies Calendar update, so here one is. This one’s been sitting 90% finished in my work folder for a month, so I figured it was high time I moved in and wrapped it up.

This unnamed character is by far the most statuesque waitress that will be featured in this series (unless Space Dandy introduces a new character that surpasses her). She’s both the tallest and the most stacked, to the point where she sort of towers over the others in her one appearance in the show. Her hair just adds to the effect.

Speaking of her hair, she kind of reminds me of Aura Blackquill. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me.

EDIT: This character actually got some screentime later in season two, as well as the name Rose. She was also redesigned a bit, making me really wish I had waited so I could use the version people would better recognize. Oh, well.

BooBies Calendar #5 – May

By on Monday, July 14, 2014

Here’s the fifth installment of the BooBies Calendar series. Again, this character doesn’t have a name or any lines in Space Dandy, but she does appear in the first episode. Her and another waitress get tied to an alien who gets so flustered he explodes, or something.

It was recently pointed out to me that I could have made these pics an actual, functioning calendar for 2015. I hadn’t even considered the notion of the calendar being anything other than a gimmick, though it’s too late now. 😀 Anyway, I hope you guys are enjoying these pin-ups!

BooBies Calendar #3 – March

By on Saturday, May 31, 2014

Okay, so here’s the third installment of the Boobies Calendar project I’ve been running. In this installment we finally break into the characters who are not only not named within Space Dandy, but also don’t even have any lines. From here on out its all characters you won’t recognize unless you spend a little too much time freeze-framing the Boobies waitresses in the show.

BooBies Calendar #2 – February

By on Tuesday, May 6, 2014

So here’s the second installment of the Space Dandy-based BooBies Calendar series. This month is February, and features the only other Boobies waitress (to my knowledge) to get dialogue outside of group lines. She appears in the first half of the second episode, serving the main characters and taking selfies with them alongside Honey.

True to form for this series, I couldn’t find any instance of her having a name. Since she’s by far the second most important character I’ll feature, you can be sure that none of the other images for this calendar will have character names in the tags. It’s all background characters from here on out.

Like with 99% of the content I put out these days, I used a photo reference for this image. I mention it here only to say that I absolutely loved the way the models legs and feet were lit in the picture, and went through painstaking measures to try and recreate that look in this image. I am a bit concerned that it made the rest of the image (especially her face) look a little bit flat, but I think it paid off.

UPDATE: It looks like she was given the name Candy in the Space Dandy Picture Dramas (thank you, Anonymous), which means we now have two named BooBies waitresses! Now all we need is for them to name the other ten waitresses I’ll be doing in this line, and my tagging OCD can finally be satisfied…

BooBies Calendar #1 – January

By on Friday, May 2, 2014

So this is a side project of mine that I’m pretty excited for. I’m a big fan of Space Dandy, the new anime from Shinichirō Watanabe. In the show, the main character Dandy is a frequent visitor to BooBies, an obvious Hooters parody. The idea for this series is basically a twelve-part pin-up series featuring the waitresses of BooBies. The only problem is, Honey here is the only prominent member of the BooBies staff. That’s right, I’m doing a twelve-part series featuring only one name character. I’m such a dork.

So, yeah, the other eleven entries in this series will all be actual characters from the show, but they’ll also all be nameless background characters. I think February’s girl has a couple of lines in one episode, but that’s as relevant as any of them will get. Hell, a couple of them aren’t even background characters, just designs shown in a panning group shot while the narrator explains what BooBies is in the first episode. This is obscurity for you, but the girls are hot so I hope you all can enjoy the pics anyway.
