Bombshell Batwoman Cosplay by Lisa Lou Who

We've previously seen the incredible Lisa Lou Who here at Toyriffic cosplaying as Ballerina Harley Quinn.
Today we throw our peepers at Ms. Who all dolled up as 'Bombshell Batwoman':



Rarely is a cosplayer able to surpass the source material so absolutely...

I've literally looked at this picture a hundred times, and only just now realized that even the bat matches the source illustration. I suppose I should give myself some credit for even noticing that there was a bat in the picture to begin with.

Be sure to check out more of Lisa's incredible cosplay over at her Facebook page.

We can't let Harley Qwednesday have all the latex fun, now can we?

Here's a nice latex Poison Ivy inspired dress to get you through this fine Sunday.

Catwoman Purrrsday :: Catwoman sketch Work in Progress

Here's a little Catwoman illustration I am working on. Below you can see my initial pose layout sketch, which I overlayed and added detail to for the top pic. I also tend to erase a lot. It's more like 'drawing via real time experimentation.'

Note how I tend to draw multiple limbs until I settle on a pose that feels right.

NSFW NSFW NSFW NSFW Bat-boobs!

Hahaha see what I did with the title there? Brilliance!


This is Batwoman (or Batgirl, but let us be very careful here - no barely legals allowed!) by the king of pin-up art himself, Alberto Vargas! This two page pin-up first appeared in the July 1966 issue of Playboy. It also looks much more like La Mujer Murcielago than the Yvonne Craig Batgirl of 1966 television fame, and could have been an inspiration to 'Batwoman's' costume design. Except of course the movie version added a bikini. Spoilsports.

Anyways, I can't believe I did not know of this image's existence until just a couple days ago. My infatuation with all things 'Bat' as well as my affection for early 20th century pin-up art and it's influence on my own illustrations would lead one to assume that I had been aware of this picture for decades. In fact, when my girlfriend of all people stumbled onto it online her first words were 'You've probably already seen this...'

Well I hadn't.

And alas, it cannot be unseen.

Now boobs notwithstanding, I don't generally flip through old Playboys, but they do pop up pretty often in my second-hand swap meet garage sale searches. Now I have to be all pervy looking for this issue, because a topless Vargas Bat(girl)woman pin-up is, well, tops.
