Pretty Little Dead Girls: a calendar.

I've spent the past year idly working on a calendar of 'Pretty Little Dead Ghouls' -- twelve months, twelve pin-ups, twelve implications of horrific violence either just past or just around the corner. All accompanied with chipper quatrains. Because I am just marginally odd that way.

This post contains twelve fairly good-sized images, each of which links to an even larger image. If your connection doesn't deal well with such things, here's a link to the gallery:

Let's take a peek, shall we?

I am deeply easily amused. Although wow, was this a lot of hours of work.

Well, I definitely don't feel the need to hurt people just for having Y chromosomes. And I'm pretty sure Mel up there is very indiscriminate where who she hurts is concerned. X, Y, whatever.

Thank you!

Gorgeous work, I love her different outfits. Do you accept fan art, by any chance?

And because I can't help myself, you misspelled "peek" up there. :]

Thank you! And oh, absolutely. I would squee.

Thanks for the correct -- all fixed.

Glad to! I'm glad you approve. :)

So are you going to sell these as a calendar? If so put me down for one, I have loved all of these series. The only way to improve it for me would have been for one of the months to have included firearms, possibly for the start of the hunting season.

Also can I put in a request for something formatted for use as desktop wallpaper on a wide screen computer?

Well, if she's ever bored, she can doodle up holiday ones later -- Guy Fawke's Day, for instance, seems like it should fit well?

(Those are beautiful. I think October's is my favorite.)

These are great! The one for my birth month (June) especially amuses me. That and November.

I love November. She's so regal. They were done all out of order, but they came together better than I'd hoped.

I second the wallpaper request. I'd love a paper calendar, but that would only last a year, and I want to be cheered up by teh mayhem for longer than that!

seanan_mcguire

The mayhem makes me pretty happy over here, it's true! Let me know what you wanted, and I can try to work something up.

Rita looks around on Dexter's computer, and discovers he has an anime fetish.

Oh these are just delightful! Squee and must point several people this way.

Yay! I'm glad you like them.

I've seen the occasional month as you've posted them, but all together they are stunning. Yay!

seanan_mcguire

January 1 2009, 20:53:43 UTC 8 years ago

Yeah -- I really wanted to do 'the lineup,' as it were, just so folks could get an idea of the scope of the project. Definitely a lot of fun to do, and definitely something I'm glad to be done with.

For some reason I love September the best (now that I see them all together). It might be the corset.

Beautiful work, as always.

It's hard for me to pick a favorite. I love them all, because they're all done.
