The second set in my *Reflections of the Masters* series has been uploaded to the MarketPlace and is waiting for approval. In the meantime, I thought I'd have a little contest for you guys. The first pose set was based on famous fantasy paintings, the second one is based on famous pin-ups... Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once (heheh): Whose painting inspired me to do the pose in the image above? The first one to give the correct answer gets a free copy of the pose set when it's released. Also, the first person to post a link to the original painting in this thread (there shouldn't be a problem with doing that, or..?) will also get a copy of the set. Good luck ;)

This is driving me nuts because I have seen that pose before, but I'm not remembering where :( No clues ???? LOL!

Hey is it Greg Hildebrandt I have been searching and searching the net... Your poses are great.....

Is it Hildebrandt's "Black Widow"? http://www.thepinupfiles.com/images/102520b.jpg

Well, I've spent waaaaay too much of this day looking, so I'm going to guess. Is it Alberto Vargas? Now I must get some dinner... :)

No, no, no and no. ;) Wow, and I thought my pose was a rather good reproduction of the original ;) Hint: This artist has made hundreds of pin-ups, paintings of sexy robots and also some fantasy paintings. The original painting has a blue background like my render. :) The original painting shows the lady wearing different clothes, but the facial expression should be quite close to mine :)

musicat got the **vampire** part right, though. My poor Vicki doesn't have the fangs showing very clearly I'm afraid. :) I'm going to give another hint so this wouldn't be too difficult. You can find the artist in question on the page where the link points at. However, despite all the pin-ups they have made, they are not listed in the pin-ups category. Now it should be a bit easier :)

ummm is it Hajime Sorayama's Mytho?

D'oh forgot the link lol

And we have a winner! :) Congratulations, sinsister :) I'll let you know where to get the file once the set is released. Now, since it was only one person who provided both the artist name and the link, I'll go render another image to give someone else a chance to get the set as well ;)

lol sorry about that! hands you a kick Sin's arse for free card but thnx Outi!

Okay, here is the second image. Also this one is based on Sorayama's paintings. Be the first to find the original and you've won ;) Not you, sin! :P

Noooooooooo :( Sorry, I've had this window open while I was looking at the gallery so that I could look at the render for reference.. I didn't know it had already been posted :

Ah BUGGER!!!!! 5 minutes too late SHIT!!!!

Awww Mannn... You guys make me feel bad that I barely got it before you. ;)

Congratulations, RealitysPoison ;) You were fast :D I will contact you when the set is out :) pats LadyJaiven and Dave71 on the head in a comforting manner

I knew I would kick myself on this contest, and I definitely would have guessed it on your hint (sexy robots--too easy). No way I would have been fast enough though--that's one of the downsides of living in the west as we're one of the last timezones awake. laugh Congratz to the winners. :)
