A new take on old world pin-ups

Back in the days, when I was only creating analog art, I used to routinely draw vintage pin-up images using nothing more than a set of gray tone Copic markers... The result was a fascinating combination of old-world retro — yet still modern and stylized. 

Here, I took a stab at recreating that same feeling with a more heavily-stylized digital feel. It was certainly worth playing around with this concept, even if the end result was not exactly what I wanted. It was a fun project, and one I will soon have to attempt again with more attention to detail.  
For those who are interested, here are a few (readily available) examples of the old-school drawings I did before dipping my toes into the realm of digital creation.
