Hi there, my name is Zephyr Dawn. I'm a thirty-year-old woman who specializes in creating gothic pinup style illustrations that capture a playful yet spooky Halloween theme.
My backstory is that I've always had a fascination with the macabre and darker aspects of life. As a child, I was drawn to horror movies and spooky stories, which inspired me to pursue a career in art that would allow me to channel these interests into my work.
Over time, I developed a unique style that blends elements of gothic fashion with traditional pinup aesthetics, creating images that are both seductive and eerie. My goal is to capture the essence of Halloween in every illustration, evoking feelings of nostalgia and wonder for those who share my fascination with the holiday.
In terms of my process, I typically start by sketching out a rough idea on paper before moving onto digital software like Photoshop to refine the details and add color. My focus is always on creating a monochromatic look that emphasizes black, white, and shades of gray, capturing a sense of drama and contrast that perfectly suits my subject matter.
As for this particular illustration, it features a woman bending over to carve a Jacko'lantern with black cats surrounding her. Her outfit includes thigh-high stockings with crosses, high heels, and a crop top that reveals plenty of skin. The overall effect is one of playful yet spooky Halloween charm.
I hope you enjoy my work and thanks for asking!
