Artist's Comments

No, it's not an April Fools trick, I really did finish another Retro Girl ;) Third in the color series (and my personal favorite color), the title actually came first on this one and then the image jumped into my head almost imediately after. Smokey lounge with a 1950's style cocktail dress.

For some reason, I had 'How Long Has This Been Going On' playing in my head the whole time I worked on it, though I don't know why since it's not really a sad song. It does have that somber, lilting feel. I think more likely the guy at the piano is playing 'They Can't Take That Away From Me' or 'Stormy Weather,' something more like that.

Medium: Original sketch vectored over in Illustrator (yup, that includes all those little lines, too. All vectored shapes) Brush texture/grain to the base of the bar done with a custom brush in Photoshop.

Other colors in the series so far:

That's really cool :D good job

Very nice. The piece is very expressive (and I mean beyond just the color) and the pose really excentuates (sp) the whole feel. Even the mirror droops it seems!

VERY cool! (no pun intended) I like how you made even the skin tone blue, so it looks like a lighting effect from an old MGM dream sequence... which really fits with the retro theme, too! And for some reason she makes me think of Circe.
Dibs on yellow! ;p

i like this one the best so far...although this one looks a bit gloomy, i think it has more life to it than the previous ones...

Oh totally, you can almost see the flashing neon and I know I'm waiting for Gene Kelly to jump on in ;)

You have no idea how tempted I was to put yellow on a Vespa, but I refrained ;)
