Tails of Suspense

[Platinum Ice]

Hi guys, Platinum here. Thanks for the welcome, thought I'd follow up with some more drawings and sketches. Here, we have the proverbial red-haired step child preparing for the spanking of a life-time:

This is certainly evocative. I'm trying to identify your artistic influences, and the only thing I can come up with is the art from a much earlier time, say the 1930s (now 90 years ago!). Spanking examples might be Diana Dane (seen here for starters), although Don Flowers' line is so distinct it's a little hard to see. The Mopsy flopsies (pratfalls) I recently posted under Missed Opportunities might be closer to the mark.

I think the style I'm trying to name is called Art Deco, and I wonder if it's been a conscious influence on your work.

At the time, I was inspired by a Japanese illustrator named Egushi Hisashi. Hisashi's work incorporated a wide variety of retro influences, from 1950s "Be-Bop" to Hergé's Tintin. To the best of my knowledge, Hisashi never produced any SP imagery, but his smooth compositions were unparalleled.
