i think her chest looks awkward

rAmpantDesigns on Mar 05 '08

yeah looks like squishey balloons.

EricDiaz on Mar 05 '08

i love squishey balloons!

beeba on Mar 05 '08

great!

squidspawn on Mar 05 '08

also the underwear ruins the "sexy" appeal.

I really want to like this one, but it just feels like a not so good take on Frank Miller art.

crazedocd on Mar 05 '08

Love the concept, not a huge fan of the execution.

piessdescalzos on Mar 05 '08

mm her chest takes away from it, because they tend to draw people's eyes
other than that it's good
but because of the breasts i wouldnt wear it
5$ tho

moosabman on Mar 05 '08

also the smoke kind of makes her look like she has a huge fro or something on the full size.

alvarejo on Mar 05 '08

great lighting

CSKYSK on Mar 05 '08

Sezzy!

charitylee056 on Mar 06 '08

its too cartoony to be sexy at all. the boobs are awkward but the whole picture looks awkward. not great execution, but it is a good concept. needs more work.

Workerdrone on Mar 06 '08

should be an ode to frank miller eh?

smelly lotus on Mar 06 '08

everyone can see that the boobs are being pressed by the arms!

I Love it! i would buy it, because everything is "censored" (boobs and underwear) 5$!!!

BulletTheBlue on Mar 06 '08

very frank miller

squatterjohn on Mar 06 '08

I don't think it serves as an ode to film noir. I've never seen a black and white noir with that level of gratuitousness. These movies were made in the 40s and 50s remember. The thing with the women of film noir was that they were either unattainable or else they would destroy you. This girl looks too naive to be naked. The sexuality was never this overt in the black and white days. They have modern crap like Body Heat but that's colour. This looks more like what someone who's seen Sin City thinks noir movies were like.

black and white, High Contrast. i think there are enough ingredients for a film noir design. And you should check the internet again because...there were a lot of (sexy) Femme fatale and they smoke a lot in those movies. That's what i think

ashleyfashiondesign on Mar 06 '08

wow. i dont think a girl would want to wear this unless their a lesbian. no offense =/

HappyMinion on Mar 06 '08

It begs the question: What would Amy Winehouse do?

HappyMinion on Mar 06 '08

I like it.

liberatesputnik on Mar 06 '08

I think you missed the point of squatterjohn's comment. Yeah, there were lots of sexy smoking women in film noir. No, they weren't in underwear. Do some quick Google Images research - the only near-naked women I can find are contemporary calendars and photographers who think “black and white” = “film noir”.

You can do what you like of course but all I see is a design that’s not as good as Frank Miller.

IkeKelly on Mar 07 '08

This is prett awesome, dude. I'd buy it. XD
5$ fo sho.

pricklepear on Mar 07 '08

Chest is def. awkward - and her face is a little cartoony considering the realism of her body shape. But I love the concept.

And I'm a straight girl and I might wear it.

nishtim on Mar 08 '08

Kinda cool idea but the smoke trail makes it look like she has huge afro. Not that that's a bad thing.

RK_Amazing on Mar 08 '08

Excellent use of shadow. It makes you stop and think about it for a second.

Nowhereland on Mar 09 '08

Nice idea, but the black shadow underneath her left arm flattens out her boob and looks a little awkward. Is she wearing a vest?

aReYouDaft on Mar 10 '08

lol at nishtim's comment, u have ruined it now. all i see is afro

Scottworth on Mar 10 '08

Sin City coolness.

zenproducts on Mar 10 '08

yes she is wearing a vest.

zholi33 on Mar 10 '08

I have to agree that this is not an ode to film noir. It is a bit risque for the era that you are trying to convey.

I love the concept, however, because of the 'clothing' she is wearing i am not fond of the shirt.

Fabricius on Mar 11 '08

the way the smoke is curved it sort of looks like she has a big afro, is that on purpose? It works for me...
