Illustrations Station 001 - Space Girl pin-up

Just been working on a pin up poster. I'm a big fan of the Barbarella movie. I've only seen a little bit of the comics, since I don't think they've been republished in English for a long while.
I use pin-up imagery in my paintings, but I've never really tried to do just a strait, cheesecake pin-up. It's been a long standing weakness of mine to due a strait illustration. Doing comics allows me to compose a narrative over a span of time or through multiple views of a space. Trying to put a narrative into a single image has been a really tough challenge, but one I feel like I need to start trying. Things like book covers and posters are really necessary for drawing people in to experience the inside of your comics.
The other advantage to the single pin-up illustration, is that having fun with designs that don't ever need to be very logical. One of those great things about ray-guns is that since they're physically impossible, you can let for go wild and ignore function.

And here's the messy pencils. I've never been one for clean pencils. Everybody tells me work from thumbnail sketches. It's sound advice, but I think my painterly training has got me stuck on thinking on the page.
