REE, objectification. Oh, shuddup. I like pinups for the aesthetics, and besides they make me happy. (Even if this one is built like a boy.) There might be some males, soonish, too. Or couples.
Anyway, I’m going to try to do one a day through the fundraiser. They are released to you under Creative Commons Licence (CC BY.) You can use it in any way you wish, including for computer background, calendar and/or book cover. 😉
Or just look at it.
According To Hoyt 
Hm…. that is a good mental image for a character I’m working with….
Teh dreaded Male Gaze! Ohs noes!
: There might be some males, soonish, too.:
snickers Ask to use some of the Alien Bride series covers? 😀
No. These are mine. Hence giving them for free.
The Reader thanks you again.
My male gaze has spoken! That ain’t no boy. She’s spicy. ~:D
Biologist, eh?
LOL
In keeping with the spirit of the thing, YOWZA!
Hubba-hubba, even!
I like her. Er, I mean, this pin up.
😀
I wouldn’t kick her out of the space capsule for eating crackers.
LOL
Nice. And carte blanche to have my way with the image. Whoops, forgot I play my normal self here, not my secret identity as a pervert.
LOL
Given I know she must be a character in it, a reminder I called dibbs for alpha reading the need Rhodes book.
LOL. She’s not. But not yet.
Interesting ecosystem, to combine that landscape with a breathable atmosphere.
I was going for early-pulp cover 😉 kind of like the baen DST cover has Athena naked, in space.
Nonsense.
She was wearing a completely transparent skinsuit with an invisible helmet. [Crazy Grin]
LOL
Not only going for it, you nailed it. (And I wish I could.)
LOL.
And when Saturn is occupying the Moon position, I don’t think I’d park on the beach where the tide can come in….
Hellooooooo NURSE! 😉
Yeah, there’s some real dissonance in that picture. More like a humanoid alien than a human.
The Captain doesn’t let such minor details concern him…..
“We found him with five partners,
Each of a different world and sex.”
I don’t see the problem with pin-ups, when done in good taste. You know, like most WWII nose art, other 1940s-50s pin-ups. They are fun, and have a sense of mischief a lot of the time. Flirtation and fun are supposed to be, you know, fun. A few winks and a flutter of skirt, and the appreciation there-of, are perfectly fine when all parties know that it’s all in fun. You know, like smiling and winking at the guys “drying their tee-shirts” at a construction site during lunch. They grinned right back. (See commercial for details.)
“… this one is built like a boy.”
Nonsense – she could be a dead ringer for whassname, that swimmer, Lia Thomas … if Lia had on a wig and a padded bra.
