Horror Film Pin-Ups

Alastair Fell Paints Beautiful Women with Monstrous Make-Up & Features

— February 29, 2012 — Pop Culture
You normally wouldn’t associate witches or Frankenstein’s monster with anything sexy, but artist Alastair Fell has managed to turn those two horror genre staples into bonafide beauties. A master pin-up illustrator, Fell is able to depict flawless women in practically any scenario you can think of, which is why his portfolio of renderings is so eclectic. Harlequins, belly dancers, gladiator women and even military commanders have never looked as good as they do in Fell’s work.

Alastair Fell is based in Manchester, UK, where he does illustrations and concept design work. His online gallery is comprised entirely of female subjects, but viewers won’t be complaining as each depiction is masterfully composed. It’s not a surprise Fell’s this good either, as he has 20 years of industry experience under his belt.
