Description
As Chasfh requested, here's Black and White! I think I'll post the color version of this one, too.
I went in with geometry editor to select the polygons that were clipped, assigned them a new surface group, and then made it transparent. Fixes it in one go, though if I were to do a close-up, you'd see a little gap. We'll just call it wear and tear.
Now, something I like about the old Rocketeer art is the usage of Betty Page. I'm a HUGE fan. (Got her poster on my wall.) Now, while I don't have a Betty Page model, I figured Victoria is almost as famous. And why not give a chance for Victoria 8.1 to shine? Though I have to say I spent ages getting the hair right. I ended up using the dforce hair that came in the Valentino 8 package. Which, of course means render time. But we're already using the highly detailed Victoria 8.1 skin, so at this point why skimp on hair? This took 4.5 hours to render.
Then of course, the damsel needs to be dressed to suit! That wasn't a hard choice, as Chasfh's Silk and Lace perfectly compliment the vibe. Maybe she's not Betty, but she still gets to model nice lingerie! Of course, I ended up using Chasfh's other set for the panties. (Innocent Underwear.)

Now that's what I'm talking about! Lovely old movie poster, with the hero towering over the damsel in distress! Not very "PC" these days, but who cares?
Awesome work indeed...
LyleAryn
Thank you. I'm glad you like it. As for being "PC," I wouldn't know about that. The rules keep changing, and its not very healthy for art. I remember Cliff's girlfriend was a real pistol, and I think the lady can wear nice underwear if she wants to, lol.
Anyway, It was fun and I'm starting to dial in the post-work I want to use for a new project. Good fun.

This one is fine as well! Turned out just as fantastic as all the rest! Most impressive and enjoyable variations on a theme! Way to go, my friend! Many happy returns of the day!
LyleAryn

I think I like this one the best for the old movie feel, though the colourised one has a lovely effect too.
LyleAryn
Thanks, Alias!

I love both of the b&w versions. I would be hard pressed to say which one I like best as both have an excellent quality about them. Superb work!
LyleAryn

Another great B&W....image...my preference is this one over the other....just looks and feels more nostalgic, sort of movie theatre billboard...will we be seeing a selective colour photography version...could be interesting.....quality work again my friend
LyleAryn

This fits the mood and genre so perfectly - you really captured the feel of the time and the posters. Excellent!
LyleAryn
Thank you!

I saw the color and while both have a place in your gallery, I preferred the color one. But you'll find mixed opinions I am sure. Keep playing with both.
LyleAryn
Thanks! For sure. All three have their fans, which I take as meaning that I got three unique styles that are put together decently.
