Too Hot To Handle

I was recently asked to create a piece of artwork for V.Swish Heat Solutions, professional beauty products.  This ad would was to feature their heat resistant cases for heated hair appliances (flat irons, curling irons, etc).  COOL gear for HOT irons!  The art director had spotted this piece in my portfolio, and wanted this to be the main inspiration...

I was asked to sketch ideas based on a salon scene, that would show the Heat Solutions product in the forefront. Here are a few ideas I presented, using our hot red head with the flowing locks...

In the end we decided that she could stand on her own- and so here she is in the spotlight-

And here she is painted up and in the ad. Oh so hot!
