I think another one of the big changes in her art is that these all had some sense of illustration, composition, action and narrative, it was something more than just 'floating character on white background'.some of my personal favorites, these are stuff you'd find in a vintage gallery.
Just because she's switched to horny art now doesn't mean that the same basic rules of art and illustration don't apply. Pinup art has been a celebrated genre for more than a century, and if you look at those old pinups you'll notice that they still have three very important factors that she could stand to think about in her work:
- a lot of them have a sense of narrative, of some scenario in progress to titillating the viewer with a scenario, not just the visual
- strong posing and sillhouette; even those that ARE a figure on a white background are really striking, feel like they have weight and motion, the body is posed in interesting ways
- composition still exists. It's in the way different elements of the body or outfit flow, how they're arranged in even the bounds of the white space, etc.
Pinup artists weren't some sordid little corner of the art world, like Autumn seems to sulkily whine that all 'horny artists' must be as a cope for why people think she's gross. These guys were ROCKSTARS. They were some of the most in-demand artists of their era, and their work influenced the 'look' that everyday women tried to emulate for peak attractiveness; 'Gibson Girls' and 'Vargas Girls' were very much a thing. And before she even tries to say that this was hurhurhur male gaze, there were QUITE a few very popular female pinup artists too.
Drawing cheesecake is not nearly as groundbreaking as she thinks it is and there is a whole celebrated history she could benefit so much from investigating and studying, but she's rather jerk herself off over Jesus black tittyrabbit Christ and set a hard cap on how good her work can ever get because she's too lazy and niggerheaded to admit other artists are worth learning from.
