I don’t know why I even bother to try, because I’ve long since run out of ways to praise Steve Mannion’s artistic talents. This guy can really do it all. Cute, sexy, cartoony, high detail, less detail, funny, scary, guys, girls, monsters, you name it. Oh yeah, he also writes and draws his own comic to boot.
Speaking of which, this is just an INCREDIBLE pinup of one of his creations, Sea-Goin’ Lil. You can find her (along with Steve’s other gorgeous creations) in his series The Bomb. Soon to be collected into trade paperback.
I love that Steve chose to go less cartoony on this one and really made an effort toward realism with her. I mean, she’s hot either way, but this image really jumps out at me. Hey Steve, if those shorts were riding any lower, I would've had to put this piece in my MATURE gallery! LOL
Anyway, this is another of the many pieces I was able to pick up from Steve at SuperCon 2008 last week. My thanks again to “The Mannion” for ALL the great artwork so far, and of course for helping to make my only day at SuperCon so enjoyable! Thanks buddy!
