Dressed to Kill!

Greetings, fellow Cher fans! Thanks to everyone who voted in the latest poll! The outfit for the vampirish Dressed to Kill number came out first, so hhhhere's the artwork! You can also grab the wallpaper version here.

I went to two D2K shows but didn't get the chance to see Cher and show her the playing cards myself. :(  Hopefully one of the decks I gave to crew members made their way to her. I was hoping she could see them first...

I think it's about time to release the playing cards, don't you think? I am figuring out how to manage the shipping so I'll do the announcement once it all makes sense.

In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to show you the process I go through for drawing a Cher artwork. ...From the very rough sketch to the final polished version!

Poll #2 for the D2K Tour!

Greetings, fellow fans! Here's a couple sketches for five outfits from the D2K show. I will need your votes to determine which one I will polish next! The tour is coming to my hometown next week-end so I'll be traveling a bit to catch it a second time. It will be exciting to see what changes have come out from the tour's current short break since April 12! Starting this Wednesday it will introduce Cindy Lauper as the special guest, following Pat Benatar and husband Neil Giraldo who did the first 13 dates.

So, the contenders for the second D2K artwork are: #1 ballad-segment Cher (or the Jesse James is Walking in Memphis with a Heart of Stone outfit, pick your favourite), #2 the eponymous Dressed to Kill Cher, #3 Gypsy Cher, #4 Woman's World Cher (or Peacock goddess), and #5 the grand finale's Hopeful Cher (or the I Hope You Find It outfit).

I hope to get started on the next artwork soon! It will be sometime after I come back from the Ottawa show next week-end, but I'll try to have some new sketches done in the meantime. Until then, time to vote! The poll is in the left sidebar in case you haven't seen it.

First Poll for D2K!

Here's the first poll to launch the D2K artwork series! Vote for the outfit you would first like to see cartoonized and made into a wallpaper!

#1 is the show's opening gown for Woman's World, a really cool egyptian/peacock mash up. #2 is a Colosseum-borrowed look for the old-time favourite Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves which I'm glad to see again for this new tour. And #3 is a gladiatress attire for Take It Like a Man. When you're ready, the poll is on the left sidebar.

Hopefully, there will be more good quality photos of the other outfits coming up. Otherwise I'll pay good attention when I see her live next week!

D2K Launch!

Greetings, fellow Cher fans! It won't be news for you but the one and only Goddess of Pop has finally kicked off the Dressed To Kill tour in North America, which also means lots of new fabulous wigs and gowns to be drawn!

It will be exciting to explore what her new designer Hugh Durant has created for her. I was hoping to avoid articles or photos from her first shows so that the surprise wouldn't be spoiled when I see her in Toronto on April 7, but it's pretty much all I see on my facebook homepage since the tour launched last week, so I might as well start drawing 'em!!

Stay tuned for the first D2K poll this Monday!

Dressed To Kill tour!

Here's a sketch (and a roughly coloured version) based on the ad for the Dressed To Kill tour. I will do some experiments for the polishing...

By the way, there's been some major progress on the production of the cards! Things are going great
