Suicide Girls #1 – “Phacet”

Around six weeks ago, I received a commissioned request to create a portrait painting from “Phacet”, a very cool and unique lady who is over at Suicide Girls.

SG is a (nsfw) website that shows pin-up, rocker and just basically alternative looking girls in various stages of undress. She had wanted me to build from her
existing photo’s, so after choosing a few as reference, I created a pin-up themed painting for her. I’m very happy with the results even though I believe my work doesn’t
hit a perfect bullseye for her, it’s on the dartboard. When I have time, I have promised Phacet a second piece.

*On the subject of art showing humans and specifically here women, I will almost always opt for something that shows “sexy over sexual”. When it comes to something
artistic I myself appreciate more the attitude of an expression, style or of a pose over just showing nudity. Basically in my opinion, nudity is easy. Great lines, composition,
and attitude; those attributes I believe are harder to achieve yet makes for a better piece of art in any media. So, that’s what I am striving for, whether nudity happens to
exist in the final result or not, to me, is beside the point.
