The Sensational Leah Down

No Caption Provided

this Pin -Up of Leah Down was Inspired simply by her wild and eccentric Style of Cosplay , also her enthusiasm for comics . so in creating this piece I integrated a little bit of the Whimsical and carefree nature of the Silver-Age characters such as Catwoman [namely the one from the Adam West Batman series ]and Mixed that in with touch of Seventies Era Marvel in terms of Attitude .over all I fun putting this little piece together . while listing to Eighties music [ namely Pet Shop Boys : West end Girls and siousxie and the Banshee : Cites in Dust , Happy House .

@cbishop: she is a real Cosplayer :D . to me her name is pretty interesting play on words . also her theme is that of an Super Villain bad girl with Shape Shifting Powers . LOL she kinda gives off this Silly Julie Newmar type vibe . she is a Looker . :D also I like her Carefree , Free Wheeling Attitude too . she was at phoenix con last year if I am right . :D

@j1ml33: I hadn't heard of her until now. I love any good wordplay name (and even bad ones) so this caught my attention. :)

@j1ml33: Has anyone ever done a drawing or pinup of an actual Cosplayer here that you know? This is wonderful and a nice tribute to her.

I like your "pop" style of art, you are doing a great and bang-up job! Nice colors and style you have going. Love it.
