Gil Elvgren Art and Photography of Janet Rae, photos/pinups.
Amazing, he did not have to improve her body, she must have been stone cold fox.
I've been a fan of Elvgren's ever since as a young 'un I found a deck of cards with his girls on 'em.
And to be honests, I don't think I've seen a single pinup artist who could do what he did, Vargas included.
It's only a pity there was not really a market for nudes. He did a few of them, and they were stunning.

Nah ... I'd go for
Olivia DeBerardinis every time :-) OK, a little more graphic, sure ... bur perhaps the likes of Christos Achilleos or Nakamura would get a look-in too? Or Boris Vallejo, or Araida ... definitely Araida, or, or .... hmmmm ... long list starting there :-)
So, is this the actual photo he based it on? If so, he improved her looks in my opinion. And took ten years off her.
I agree that Elvgren is better than Vargas. Vallejo doesn't deserve to be mentioned.
So this Flickr site is kind of cool: it's Janet Rae's son and he's writing a book about her! COOL! :-)
I can actually draw and paint like this, I love his work.
