Flowermilk girls

[Flowermilk]

Hi there!

I just wanted to share with you guys some girly art. I'm doing it mainly for fun but my girls will hopefully appear in an iphone game we're working on with a friend sometime in the future.

This first is called Cheyenne Wild, a.k.a "Bounty".
I'll post updates about this project from time to time. Enjoy :-)

[mcg1355]

Thank you sir may I have another!

[Dahami]

If I ever get arrested, I hope it can be by her. Nice work.

[LORD M]

If I'd see her patroling a super market then I would instantly shop-lift in an extremely obvious way so I would get caught by her. Great one!

[SalOnimaruRem]

officer is there a problem, please search me, there is something in my pants that is dangerous....


haawwwwwt man haawwwt

[Jelluh]

Did I mentioned I like police brutality ?

Did I mentioned I like police brutality ?

Enough with the sexist posts now please. I really like the look of the reflections, it gives the picture a nice realistic contrast to the cartoony way the clothes and face has been painted. Though, I think the legs and the lower part of her body is a bit out of proportions, but I guess that's a choice from your side. Good work, keep it up.

[kaktuzlime]

Here are some of my thoughts and suggestions:

I like the overall saturated colours, and her hair is pretty cool. Good use of saturation to lead our attention.

I think the style between the body and the face is incoherent. the body feels rather realistically depicted, as if drawn from reference, whereas the face seems more "freestyled". Eighter work more on the face, or "de-realize" the body.

Furthermore I think some blue tones in the shadows and overall more contrasts between cool and warm in the fleshtones would make her "pop" more.

I have no idea where those arms would connect with the deltoids. It seems as if something strange is going on with her anatomy underneath those sleeves.

The cloth is just sloppy. I think you should spend more time on nailing those wrinkles.

If she´s supposed to be pretty, I think her broad, flat, boxer nose, kind of deviates from that impression. *edit- I think you should make it smaller to make her sexier/cuter.

Her right arm (our left), looks as if it´s running paralelly along her hip/torso. It´s a tangent which confuses depth.

Also, I think you could introduce some atmospheric perspective to help increase depth.

In addition I can´t help but question the motive. I find it a stereotypical, sexualised and slightly demeaning illustration of the female sex. I usually have no problem with sexy big boobed pornstar pin-ups. I don´t quite know why, but I somehow experience this image tastless. What´s your message?

Finally, in my opinion, the hat looks pasted on. I would like to see it more tied in with the character. Maybe introduce some more weight and make the cast shadow more hard edged?

[ccp85]

I like it!!!!!!

[bagtaggar]

Really solid on the wet skin surface, looks good enough to eat

Some things I noticed, but I think Kaktuzlime pointed them out - the arms seem to go up into shoulders that are too small/narrow.

The neck also seems a tad too thick? Something about her head/neck features makes her a bit husky.

But lovely otherwise!

[callie catastrophe]

Wow. she's gorgeous. amazing work!!

[Dahami]

Thorsell: "I think the legs and the lower part of her body is a bit out of proportions, but I guess that's a choice from your side."

I think it has to do with the viewing angle. Looking up at her... She has power over the viewer (both sexual power, and a big stick). She is definitely in a dominant position.

Also, emphasizing the broad hips and relatively narrow waist just shows the effects of estrogen during her development. It is a little exaggerated, sure, but it has a powerful effect.

To echo what kaktuzlime said about the nose, I certainly think the nostrils could be done a little differently. The nose looks kind of fake compared to the rest of her features, like it's not quite done in the same style.

Still, that's a minor point. I really like this piece.

[El Jeremie]

Nice stuff, but how can she sweat like that and still have dry clothes ? I'm just joking.

[Flowermilk]

Thanks for all the comments guys. As for the proportions, it's definitely a choice so I'm kinda glad that you actually noticed the big legs.
I won't answer in detail to all the comments about the (numerous) flaws that I'll gladly admit. The image is far from perfect as pretty much everything I do :-) Usually, I tend to jump (No pun intended) on the next one rather than try to fix every minor thing because you can spend a lifetime trying to nail everything. Again, I do appreciate the valuable feedback though.
As for the sexist/tasteless debate, kaktuzlime, then I guess it's very personal to each individual. Some people are more easily offended than others, and even though it is not my intent to shock, I won't do anything either to tone down what I feel right. The bottom line is that I wanted to do a rather outrageous, erotic charged image, and this is what I did. As you may notice, most people actually saw the girl as a strong character, which tends to make me think that it's no demeaning. What is my message? Guess what? It's pin-up art. No message. I just painted a very stereotypical fantasy that turns me on. It ends up being a bimbo cop with big boobs, which I totally assume. Guess most people saw that too, which I'm happy about ;-)

Very cool

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to make a quick update with a new girl but I felt I needed to share something too. I've been repeatedly contacted by this guy who acts as a rep for pin up artists. After looking up on the web, I dug out some pretty controversial stuff like he put his own name on other people's work and so on. So I politely turned him down.
I mean it's probably nothing. Maye the guy was falsely accused I don't know so I won't put his name here to harm him if he is ok. But I'll feel better if some people know I did my girls in the first place. So please guys if you stumble on a Flowermilk girl with any other name on it please let me know because right now I'm doing that for fun and there shouldn't be anyone making money with it...

And now for the fun..

[mariusz]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, any chance to date one of this girls, huh?
lovly artworks!

[Dahami]

Nice.

[nevermindjoker]

nice sweat gurls you have on your style/inline of fun),

though in the first image, her right arm through her forearm seems a bit smaller compare with her left and kinda broken elbow it should be straight like her left , if they have the same ground line base on the baton her holding, eventhough she is in a contrapposto it desn;t mean it has a different point of perspective, but it should have a twist which make both her arms should not be like that with equal lenght on the baton, sorry i just can't put my english grammar correct hehehe...but i know you know what i mean.

i notice also you were overwhelmed by her tits that you just don;t care about her upper garment. how it should go with the flow of her tits and the wrinkles plus on her shoulders , .... this is still on the first image. nevermind...


but on the second image, wow fantastic. i rest my case.

hope to see more, and yes will let you know if i found one of your work with different signature...btw what is your signature anyway? flowermilk?

[Flowermilk]

Hey Nevermindjoker

Thanks so much for taking the time to post all this feedback (and to everyone else). It's very important for me to get all the criticism I can get. From what I hear on the first two girls, there seems to be a lot more obvious flaws in the first one, which is better that way than the other way around :-)
At that point I collect and carefully write down the feedback but I'm going to wait some more before revisiting the images. I'm very new at painting girls and I feel that I learn with each new one. So with a few more under my belt, I'll hopefully be more successful at fixing stuff later on. Also, I want to wait until I get a more distanced perspective myself. Hopefully I can keep getting better at this and that second one was not pure luck ;-)
Yes I sign Flowermilk. Don't ask why I don't even know myself. I just felt I wanted everything to be cute about the paintings, even down to the signature. For some reason this little pseudonym sounded sexy to me.
I'll keep the thread updated as I go.

[aLDoDarK]

wohoo~
really nice work flowermilk

I'm waiting for your next post =D

[Flowermilk]

Hello everyone! Here's my latest girl. Took me some time between my regular work and other stuff to do but at last here's something new.

- Flowermilk

[SalOnimaruRem]

f-f-f-f-f-f-fuc....daaayyuuummn...*slap self*

snap out of ONi!!!

[Axel.s]

Love that !

[Darkside]

slick man, like the second one a lot
in the first image there is something weird going on with her right arm/elbow.

good stuff, cheers

[newman]

shiny!

[AlexTooth]

Sweet rendering

As a crit on all3, I'd spend more time on the hair, or at least making it look like it's part of the picture - at the moment it looks obviously another layer. Other than that good work!

[Dahami]

Hubba hubba. Beautiful rendering on the new one. Like the light and shadow, the highlights... I can really see the shape of the body, and the effects of estrogen on development.

[steven6]

Dude-I am in love with your "girls." I really like your latest golden girl--BUT I think you have an opportunity with their faces--Actually in all of you girl pieces the face is a little flat compared to the rest of their body--but it especially stands out in your latest golden girl piece b/c she is so wet/shiny/oily. I guess this isn't a bad thing if it's intended-but I'd love to see "their," or at least golden girls face rendered a "little" more so it's more inline with the rest of the body--Still, I love your work-this isn't a slam-clearly you seem to be emphasising the bodies--thing is though the bodies are soooo extream already especially with the oil, their faces woud be hard pressed to hold the viewers attention unless they were just as riviting.
Cheers
