>>21159 I remember someone posting a bunch of these a couple of years ago when anons were brainstorming a VN that sadly failed to go anywhere..

>>21164 I’m still planning on doing something with some of the OCs and story I came up with back then. I loved the setting and I would hate not doing anything with it.

>>21164 What were the basic ideas behind it? That sounds like it would be very cute if it was full of girls like this.

>>21224 The original idea was a 1950’s Noir detective interacting with various kinds of lolis to solve a mystery in 1950’s suburbia. That grew to include supernatural and sci-fi elements like time travel, Nazi scientists, fish monsters, secret societies, etc.

>>21224 >>21257 There was some really nice concept art that was created around it.

Another good source of cute girls is vintage paper dolls.

>>21258 More paper doll cuties. One of my ideas if this game ever got made was to have bio profiles for each girl designed like paper dolls and and new outfits would be unlocked as you progressed in the game and more secrets were revealed.

Is this right?

>>21278 >>21298 >>21298 Gosh I want some of these now

>>21301 Perfectly understandable. You can check eBay, they aren’t very expensive at first glance.

>>21299 These are nice. Post more if you have them.

That blue apron is lewd.

>>21309 Was this heart apron skirt thing a popular garment? I found another doll wearing it.

These are too cute! I might try playing with some of these in photoshop when I get some time so that I can see how some of these girls may have looked when wearing their outfits!

>>21342 Or not wearing them?

A few more

Some Al Parker

Somehow 50’s illustration has the perfect blend of realism and stylization.

Pin-Up artist Fritz Willis painted a series of ads for Chiffon Tissue. Too young for me but lg pin-ups are so rare I had to post them.

>>21342 Especially try to do this cute little witch with her orange and black hat. >>21308 >>21345 YES that too.

I found where I had saved all the patterns from that thread before.

A random assortment

And some other's I've collected over time too.

Seeing these makes me want to continue working on that game.

Little girls were so aesthetic back in the day. >>21345 >>21403 I'll play around with some of this a bit here in a while later today! It might take some experimentation.

Question on making them naked - what is the best approach? I was thinking of filling in the sections with models from DAZ Studio or something, and then matching it in style if possible. I'll experiment some more.

>>21436 Depends on the medium you’re more comfortable with. I would say either drawing and painting the missing parts or if you’re more comfortable with 3D software that could work too. >>21435 I would clean up the edges so they aren’t so fuzzy but the fit is nice.

Not quite as vintage but Tom Tierney was a paper doll artist who did a lot of vintage inspired dolls.

>>21438 Here's the first DAZ Studio test. It looks a little wonky, admittedly, but it sort of worked. I'm bad at judging my own stuff though. I'll try to clean up the witch here in a while.

>>21429 I'd love that. >>21435 That turned out super cute. >>21438 >I would clean up the edges so they aren’t so fuzzy but the fit is nice. Yeah if it were just a little less fuzzy it would be perfect.

>>21445 I’ve actually sort of continued working on it. I know I’m not going to make a game on my own but maybe a graphic novel or illustrated story.

>>21441 Really good, should look great with some tweaking. Her nipples seem very low on her chest but I’ve noticed loli DAZ models tend to have that problem.

>>21449 Thanks for the feedback. I spent over an hour trying to get the noise to match the original skin and wasn't entirely successful. Some issues in the hips as well, but overall I was happy enough. I'll have to play with this more on my own time and try to make them better! Stay tuned, not sure how long I'll be though.

>>21448 > but maybe a graphic novel or illustrated story. I'd be up for that. And who knows that might jumpstart things and someone might want to help with a VN at a later date.

Let’s keep this alive.

>>21375 >a magazine teaches you to cure girls

I know most of these aren't ads, but I think they fit the overall theme and style we got going on.

>>21441 Did you try making more of these edits?

>>21164 >>21221 >>21224 >>21257 >>21258 >>21259 Best not to overcomplicate things. Start with a simple story, tell it start to finish, good speculative fiction should start out with a story that works without the fantastical elements in it. If you decide that you want to add elements, do it after that, by placing the additional element into the story somewhere, then telling a different story from that point, making sure it all fits together. Never be afraid to be ambiguous and refrain from over explaining things, most speculative fiction that works recognizes that too much elaboration to the audience on how the impossible could become possible would destroy the narrative. What was the story you wrote so far?

>>22805 I agree with what you’re saying, the core story we have could work without supernatural/SF elements and is already broadly plotted from start to finish. You’re right about not over-explaining the fantasy/SF elements, this is something we have discussed. My preference is to try to keep things surreal and not try to ground anything too much on reality. I don’t want to spoil too much beyond what has already been posted here already. I’m working with a writer who’s turning my rambling ideas into something readable and we’re planning on releasing it as something like an illustrated ebook. I’m posting drawings of characters from the story to Baraag if anyone is interested.

>>22821 I dont like her breast buds, I prefer flat chests that are actually flat. Her hip/waist ratio might also be too large, as well, I prefer flat hips, and a tight butt. The best body ratios for lolis are always 1:1:1 (1:1 h/w, 1:1 b/w, and 1:1 h/b - a "ruler"-type shape with NO degree of secondary sex characteristics development).

>>22831 There are other girls who are younger/less developed and should be more to your taste.

>>22821 Which baraag account can I find these on?

>>22846 The account is @RemusLupin .

L-lewd

It’s too bad Fauno Artifex quit, he was good at vintage style pictures.

>>26630 Is there anyone who has a similar style?

>>27100 I can’t think of anyone quite like Fauno, sadly. I do know a couple of artists (as in their paintings are actually displayed in galleries) who do work inspired by vintage illustration: Stu Mead and Mike Cockrill.

>>27128 Mike Cockrill

>>27130 >>27131 >>27132 holy shit, those are really good. those expressions, the details.

>>27134 I have a lot more, I should probably make a dedicated thread.

What is this add trying to say?

>>27607 Best part is his smug look. he knows the boy can't compete

I really love that first one.

These mostly fit here, I think, despite not being advertisements.

>>28966 The last one is by Stu Mead.

>>29032 Yeah it only looks old it's actually relatively new.

>>27152 Please do!

Have some old book covers.

I really wish I knew where to get more images for this thread. It's possibly my favorite one on the board.

I found a few more. >>21400

>>29136 Pinterest is a good source, or you can use any search engine and just look for vintage or retro ads, paintings, illustrations, etc.

>>28966 Bruh what? This is either comical or a jab at the devil.

>>30335 That's actually Krampus the infamous Christmas character/tradition from Germany and Austria who captures and punishes badly behaved children

>>30341 Possible, Stu Mead does live in Germany, but devils are a frequent theme in his work.

What happened to the games that were being brainstormed based on this aesthetic?

>>30392 Don't let your dreams stay dream, anon.

>>30341 Speaking of Krampus.

AI and 50's = win

>>30392 I’m still working on the story with a writer.

>>30584 That's very much a good thing to hear.

>>29149 I feel I should repost this here.

Marcel Marlier. Beloved children’s books illustrator. Panty shots all over the place. How did he get away with it?

>>31688 >How did he get away with it? You're not on 4chan. Stop perpetuating a shitty meme.

>>31696 You seem a tad insecure.

>>31696 Who said it’s a meme?

First one looks just like something rl would draw.
