What detail makes this pinup work? What needs improved?
This one has a great horror pin-up mix: Elvira-style glamour, crows, bold black shading, blue eyeshadow, orange stars, and that weird sci-fi ray gun detail.

This one has a great horror pin-up mix: Elvira-style glamour, crows, bold black shading, blue eyeshadow, orange stars, and that weird sci-fi ray gun detail.
The hat, heart boots, cigarette, revolver, and stool pose all push the western pin-up look in different ways. For me, the boots and attitude carry it.
This one has a cool fantasy pin-up feel: fairy wings, mushrooms, stars, freckles, and that soft seated pose. I like that it works without color, but I could also see muted purples, greens, or warm skin tones making it pop.
What do you think: better as clean blackwork, or would color improve it?
