Hello! I am a student at LSU and I'm using Wikipedia to work on my final for my Women's Gender Studies class.

Bad Girl Art
Bad Girl Art is a type of art form that was given its name in the 1990's. It is an art form that focuses on strong prevalent female characters with rough and violent personalities. It stems from the Good Girl Art movement that first appeared in the 1930s. Both art form origins stem from pin up art. While bad girl art and good girl art seem to be opposite, they don't directly contradict each other. While Good Girl art references its female leads as heroines who are sweet by nature that preform courageous deeds for the good of mankind, Bad Girl art depicts its female leads as having cruel, evil, and demonic personalities. They embody this rough and rugged persona all while being drawn anatomically un-proportional, specifically in the bust and hip areas. These characters are also commonly under-dressed, with their costumes usually resembling a bikini in design. They also yield oversized weapons such as midevil swords and axes which they would use to defeat their enemies.

History
Nearly twenty years before the bad girl art movement had a name, the first and one of the most well known bad girl characters, Vampirella debuted in 1969 with Warren Comics. Another identifiable character that helped shaped the early stages of the bad girl movement is Elektra (comics) who appeared in 1981. Both sporting revealing red attire, a lust for bloodshed, long dark hair, and the tough-girl attitude, they provided the basic foundation on which the rest of the bad girl characters would generate off of. One of the biggest contributors to the bad girl genre was the founder of Chaos! Comics, Brian Piludo. He published works that were based off of anti-heroic lead roles rather than having a hero. One of the first of these characters was Lady Death (created in 1992 with the collaboration of Steven Hughes), followed by Purgatori (1994) and Chasity (1995). Everette Hartsoe of London Night Studios also was a major contributor, with some of his characters appearing completely naked. Some of his more notable characters are Stryke (1992), Razor (1992), and Poizon (1995).
