It's been a long time since I posted artwork here, but this was a piece I did this year - it's actually a follow-up to a piece I did in 2003, using the skills I'd gained in the interim to improve it. Sounds familiar, huh? :D The bell is a model I made myself; the image was composed and rendered in Poser, with final work done in Photopaint to enhance the lighting (the reflections are real, though ;) )

Tubular Belle 2006 (nudity)

Since I was going for a pin-up look, I modified the Virgin logo to evoke the signature of Vargas, one of the best-known of the pin-up artists.

Tracey, I always wondered what you looked like. Am really looking forward to more such poses in the future.

TubularBelle, you're more than welcome to use that as your avatar - I'd be honored. I haven't been around here much in the past year, and didn't know you were here until I looked at one of my old threads in this very same forum and saw your post there :).

As I said, I had done this idea back in 2003, when I wasn't quite as skilled as I've become since, and I just decided to revisit the image; it's a happy coincidence to find you here, as well :D.

BTW, here is the original 2003 version:

It would make an awesome tattoo, I would just give her hair like mine so she resembled me a teensy bit more.
