December ’13 WWOTM – LaBarbara Conrad

I somehow found the time to wrap up my WWOEC Woman of the Month pic for December. I went through several ideas for this one, including an incest pic with her son and something involving limbo. In the end I went this route, mainly because I needed to keep it simple in order to complete it on time with all the Christmas fuss distracting me.

Originally Barbados wasn’t in this pic. My reference pic and my original sketch neither showed the guy’s face. However, after realizing how shocked LaBarbara looked (my intent had been moaning, but she looked shocked to me after I inked it), I decided to add the infidelity angle to pull it together. I think a negative side effect of that decision was Barbados’ body not lining up perfectly with his head, but I tweaked the lines some and I don’t think it’s distracting.

I was really concerned when I started this that I wouldn’t be able to adapt the Futurama/Simpsons style well. I’ve always found porn of those shows very subjective, and I think only very talented artists can successfully pull the style off and keep the picture sexy. While I don’t feel I completely nailed it here, I think I did well enough that I’d be comfortable doing other Futurama or Simpsons work in the future. I definitely think there are a few characters I’d like to draw, so if I find the time I may do that.
