The Roaring Twenties
Did this for the "Roaring Twenties" girls jam on the Drawing Board. This one was a lot of fun since the style I chose was a bit of a departure from the norm for me. It was especially fun creating the aged and tattered look. Hopefully it all turned okay! (And yes, I do apologize that the whole thing revolves around a corny pun...they're so hard to resist sometimes...)

Haha, love it! Looks really good. The distressing of the photo looks great! I like this style.
Great subject. I love the lady's pose. (and always nice to see your pencil versions) :)
I love the aging you did. Did you use blending or did you age it by hand?
Thanks for the kind comments, one and all.
And Dick, to answer your question, I achieved the aged look by scanning the cover of a yellowed and tattered old book I have, selected just the tatters, tears and stains, and dropping them on top of the art. Then some more tweaking, etc.
Great illustration and that used retro look is simply fantastic!
This is awesome; reading a buncha stuff from that era on both British and American side / Paris for class this semester.
