Artist's Comments

Edit 11/7/05: This is now the 'Classic Retro Girl Calendar.' Originally released for 2005, it will be available now for whatever the current year is, switching to the new year each September.


*Note: Not Vector Art. See media description*

I can't believe I finally get to say this but...

It's Done!!!!!

After 3 months and more hours than I care to remember, the Retro Girls Calendar is finished. What you are looking at here are the front and back covers. For those of you who asked how you would be able to get a copy, as soon as it goes through the print approval process, this is the page where you will find the link to purchase.

For those of you that might be seeing this for the first time, this is my tribute to the retro/pop art and fashions of yesteryear.

To all the people who supported me along the way on this one, I can't thank you enough. Without your enthusiasm, I couldn't have done it.

Medium: Original sketchs drawn over in Photoshop 6 with the pen tool, not vectors since the lines and shapes rasterize. It is similar process, but by devart definitions, anything that rasterizes is not vector art. Details added with brush tool. '2005 Retro Girl' text drawn with pentool in Photoshop, 'Calendar' text drawn with calk tool in Painter8

I'm a huge fan of GoblinQueeen and her Classic Retro Girl Calendar is a fabulous collection of her retro characters I fell in love with years ago. (Featured by $Moonbeam13)

I'm too lazy to comment on every retro girl so I'll just comment here :D

Amazing! I just want to say that I love this style and the way you expressed it. I'll try to buy a copy of the calendar if I can afford it. Being a broke college student isn't fun ^^;

If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber'd here, While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream...

That's so purdy!

Hi.
:iconomenainen:
Nice work =) those pictures are really great (browsed them all), I'm not surprised at all that this took three months to do. I'm glad December had no Xmas related things in it, like presents or something.. It's so dull to feature December with Christmas.
:icontenebrousb:
definately buying this :)
