Betty Page was the inspiration for this christmas card that I created for Sony Online Entertainment in 2004.

Antonia Bayle is the mascott of the PC video game "Everquest II", and this card design was my attempt at infusing her look with a nostalgic pinup style.

This card was a real joy to work on because I focused on having fun and keeping the mood festive since it was the Holiday Season.

I think it was a nice balance of sexiness and American nostalgia, pulling from an old Christmas pin up of Betty Page.

I drew the image in pencil, inked it in india ink, scanned and colored it in Photoshop, and put finishing touches on in painter.
