WIPs: mOnthly grOw illustration (Apr. 2025)
Added 2025-04-08 15:23:09 +0000 UTCThis month's concept comes from That New Shoe Smell, who entered this idea into the November 2024 Tier 3 (Color-Themed) Patreon Art Contest and came in an extremely close 3rd place. (37 v 32 v 31 votes).
Patron requests included: changing roller blades (1st rough) to older roller skates for a 1950s vibe. I then added the checkered hat and large order pad to complete the 50's style (and then added the 50's drive-in background).
A rollerskating drive-in carhop is struggling to keep her balance with a growing pair of head-sized hooters that are threatening to burst open her polo.
She's a young college girl with brown hair done up in a ponytail with side bangs framing her face. Her uniform is a tight, red polo with equally tight, black shorts. We can see the indentations of her outmatched bra sinking into her boobs and her polo just beginning to tear at the collar. She's holding up a loaded order tray that's wobbling in her grasp.*
