Serenity

Well - she sure looks serene to me.

I suppose there are some folks out there that might think this pose is a little too risque... it is risque. But it's not pornographic. There is a nude woman depicted in a state of bliss, however there is no sexual act being performed. Just so y'know.

Anyway - when I was a kid my Dad worked for Marvel's parent company (as I've said before) and he'd bring me home everything they put out each month. This also included stuff like the Black and White Conan magazines, Epic, Marvel Presents, etc. Quite a few of these fine publications contained scenes of nudity and graphic violence. My Dad had no clue, he thought they were comic books and never bothered to open them. THANK GZAWD!

In one of these great science fiction stories with lots of creepy aliens, heroic astronauts and sexy babes there was an image depicting the creation of the universe as a birth act by a beautiful woman. The pose always struck me with it's beauty (and the nakedness) and I remembered it.

So, a few years back a friend was getting rid of some 70s and 80s Playboys - and being a perv I took some. In one of these from the early 70s was a playmate in exactly that pose. Must have been the original reference source and I finally got around to replicating that pose for my own piece of work. Though the orientation is more natural - the original pose had her floating in space.
