Description

I find myself a sucker for fun halloweenish buxom characters. Frankie had posted this a while ago. some prelim stuff to a comic he had worked on. great stuff for a fan. very happy to have a couple examples here.

the following taken from Frankies post...

This is an Original 2011 Preliminary Sheet Featuring Penny Dreadful Artwork. I was commissioned to do some pin up artwork For the 2012 PENNY DREADFUL'S CAULDRON OF TERROR #1 (One Shot) published by COMIC BOOK DIVAS PUBLISHING. A small press comic book publishing company that features models,actress, and cosplayers as the actual comic book characters in their comic book titles. They also work with other clients in creating and publishing their comic books. Unfortunately this piece of artwork didn't make the cut.

* PLEASE NOTE : I did this Preliminary Artwork using a Prismacolor Black Pencil on Tracing Paper. the actual art size is roughly 8.25" x 10.75" surrounded by a frame made of Black Mat Tape on an 11" x 14" sheet of bristol paper. Back then I used color pencils on tracing paper that allowed for a degree of roughness yet tightness with the line work.

Penny Dreadful XIII is a television horror host based in New England. She is portrayed by actress, writer, and comedian Danielle Gelehrter.
Who created the persona of Penny Dreadful the witch in an effort to revive the concept of a horror movie host on Boston-area television. The show, Penny Dreadful�s Shilling Shockers, began production in August 2005 and premiered on local cable in January 2006. Shilling Shockers first aired on Public-access television cable TV in Providence, Rhode Island; Boston, Massachusetts; New Bedford, Massachusetts; and Salem, Massachusetts. It eventually spread to over 200 cities and towns throughout the six New England states.

The names �Penny Dreadful� and �Shilling Shockers� are both derived from 19th-century serialized tales of terror, crime, and the supernatural.[1] The Penny Dreadful witch persona is described on the program�s website as �an intermingling of light and dark elements. She can be very silly and sinister by turns, with a withering wit and a dramatic gaze." Penny is fond of using the exclamation, "hex-cellent!" and refers to her viewers as her "Dreary Ones."

Witchy good fun designs! Lots of macabre humor to emphasize that being different has only enhanced her appeal!

Hey! I was the briefest of acquaintances with Penny D. (Danielle) years ago. Cool that you were able to pick up these prelims from her comic book.
