WEEKEND BONUS POST: 1997 GEN13 lingerie trading card(?) illo! (Patreon)
Content
As a quick weekend bonus for all you kind Patrons, here's an illo I did back in '97 for Wildstorm's ever-burgeoning trading-card division, this time featuring Gen13's Caitlin Fairchild for a "Lingerie Collector's Pack" campaign.
Seriously, at $250 a pop—in brawny 90s dollars, mind you!—for line art on a fairly dinky piece of artwork, these trading cards were quite the devil's candy for Wildstorm artists; I occasionally heard editorial complaints of artists winding up late on turning in scheduled comic pages because they were pounding out trading-card illos willy-nilly at a vastly higher worktime-to-income ratio.
Note that I didn't write the copy on the back of the card, but did draw the little superdeformed cartoon headshot of Kat.
Note also that this is one of the very, very few times I've ever drawn thong underwear—or a thong bikini bottom, for that matter. Golly! (Someday I should probably explain my reason for that ongoing omission, which I can assure you is none too progressive.)
