Clara de Noche by Steve Bryant






















Kudos to Mike for picking Clara! I was completely unfamiliar with the character, so it was a pleasant learning experience — any time I'm introduced to more work by Jordi Bernet is a good thing!

I know that Clara was based on Bettie Page, but since I included Betty (Cliff Secord's girlfriend, also based on Miss Page) in my Rocketeer Twart, I wanted to change up the facial structure for this one and went with a more heart-shaped face. Hopefully, the character still comes through.

I guess I hadn't realized Clara was based on Bettie Page, go figure.

Looks great Steve, really nice inks.

Really nice curves there, Steve :)
Great inks too. For some reason the face looks a little off: maybe you should have stick with Bettie's likeness?

Cheers,
Francesco

Steve,
I have to get you to pin-up draw me. Can't stand a single FB profile pic I can muster. How about me, skinny, a bit of Alice in Wonderland mixed with Ronny Vardy style (http://www.ronnyvardy.net). That's not too much to ask is it?! Love this by the way. Tami Martin

Now you have me imagining an insane crossover between Clara and the Rocketeer.
Something's going to explode for sure!

Maybe Clara is the estranged sister of Betty. Poor Cliff!

;)
