Flower Pin Up: Black Rose

This is the pin up during which I realized I enjoyed drawing pin ups, and the first one I'd turn into a tattoo for someone if I could do tattoos and someone asked for it. This is Black Rose, and my favorite so far; I adore her. I've colored her in GIMP but I won't post that for a couple of days yet. The colors are black and purple, so you'll have to look past the non-shaded quality and use your imagination. I'm happy with how the rose came out, looks pretty close to a tattoo style lol. Her arms are a bit odd but that's the only complaint I have about this particular piece, although further critique is welcomed

I was so enamored of this drawing that I've decided to continue in a line of flower-related pinups. Coming up is Lily, and further down the road is a Venus Fly Trap one and a Bleeding Heart. I'm taking suggestions mostly of the more eccentric blooms, because normal flowers are a bit mundane and don't stimulate my imagination.

Keep an eye out for further Flower Pin Ups from me!
