She'll Be Back

Series I did based on the Terminator movies. 'Damage' comes mostly from aircraft engine parts and assorted hydraulics. Models involved are Connie, Kristy, Melissa, Carolyn, and Amanda. All work done with PSP7.

Not sure if the thread needed a warning, but I added one.

Thanks for looking!

You do have a great sense of style! These are quite striking. I can see commercial potential in your art, are you in the illustration field, advertising at all?

Thanx for sharing these with us

Thanks much! No, but I'm working on it since I recently got laid off when the mill I worked for closed down. I think working on these keeps me sane. lol

The top three I find the best because the juxtaposition is fantastic - it feels like the temporary shock one has right before the world goes to pieces. The latter stuff I think has tons of potential ... but the skimpy outfits confuse me - is it a sort of send-up of pin-up pictures or is it meant to be post-acopolyptic? If the latter, some more wear and tear could have been done to the clothes but the skin and electronics meld a little sleeker to my eyes, maybe not so burnt looking. But do clarify the three last ones, as to what you were after.

Thanks! Kind of a little of both. Post apocalyptic pin-ups I guess. And I agree-I should have done a little more wear and tear on the outfits. Good call!

Also when I shot the models, I didn't have these shots in mind. For the most part (at least when I first started) those shots were just intended to be used at the location they were shot at. Later I began some pre-planning a bit more for use in pieces where I swapped backgrounds.

And I still have some that confuse myself as well. And a few I've done, very few would get the meaning (kind of inside humor-type things).

Appreciate the comment!

The lady feeding the birds and the lady looking at the rising missiles are both fantastic images, particularly the latter. The dress she is wearing fits the setting perfectly as does the landscape. I think you have all the skills one needs to be considered as a professional. I really like your work.
