Inspiration imagery
Rough thumbnail sketch to get an idea of the basic shape.
A little more refined sketch.
First pass in Illustrator. This option was not quite lively enough.
I used a different face for reference since the previous draft was too similar to Rosie the Riveter.
The previous face didn't look right so I studied pin-up style artwork seen on WWII airplanes and 1950's and 60's women in sci-fi. I wanted a strong face but not as harsh of a mouth as the previous draft.
Initial rendering felt a little off in the midsection.
After further anatomy reference, I emphasized her hip and made her more muscular.
Dot shading effect used to give the image a vintage pulp magazine look.
