Yesterday was actress Vanessa Veasley's birthday, and social media was ablaze with fans sharing past work of our talented model in character as astronaut Vanessa Valentine. We released a new character image of our space-traveler on board her ship, as well as throwback art celebrating some of Vanessa's most popular videos. To see the entire Vanessa live-action library, click here.

It's hard to believe we are up to our 11th SlickforceGirl. Our newest hero fights for good both above and below ground, and almost always without a safety net. Meet Adventurer Sandy—our resident globe-trotter, traveling from the cliff-tops of the outback to forgotten empires in the deep underground. She collects rare artifacts, protects historical relics, and has been known to find herself on more than a few treasure hunts.

For those of you well-versed in SlickforceStudio history, actress and model Sandra McCoy should be a familiar face. I met Sandra on one of my first film shoots, then cast her on the Music Video Beauties project. Ms. McCoy's acting resume includes countless film and tv projects, and she has remained a good friend to the studio throughout the years. We are thrilled to have her return yet again to bring our newest hero to life.

Take a look at the behind-the-scenes gallery below, and watch the video of making Adventurer Sandy!

Tiffany Luu certainly turned heads when we released her shoot as our deep-diving hero Penny Park, and we were overwhelmed with requests to see more of both Penny and Tiffany.

So as a New Years' treat, here is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Tiffany's shoot, with never-before-seen video and stills below. And if you missed them, you can view all previous Penny posts here.

That's not all... Penny Park fans are in luck, as our underwater hero debuts her first illustrated character art this month. Stay tuned and be sure to share!

We admit it: the weather is finally taking it's toll on us. Even Southern California saw ice over the New Year—it's enough to keep most of our heroes wrapped in blankets until the Spring thaw. Fortunately one of our Girls lives for these sub-zero temperatures.

It's been a while since we've heard from our resident-spy Nazanin, presumably because she's been running around the North Pole gathering dirt on Santa. Fortunately, she paused just long enough for artists Corey Knaebel and Ula Mos to capture this hauntingly beautiful winter portrait. Having two white wolves as partners-in-crime can only mean one thing: it's Grrrrl time.

Click the image for the HD version, and if you missed the original live-action shoot with our silver-streaked heroine, see it below with all-new BTS. Until next time... stay warm, world!

Victory! Our newest SlickforceGirl—and Veteran's Day special release—Army Sergeant First Class Amber, was received so well by fans that we're giving you two final pieces by creator and photographer Nick Saglimbeni. The first is a hero pin-up, featuring stunning Amber Forrester watching over you to keep you safe. The second puts you right in the center of the action, following Amber on the hood of a truck, mid-battle, as she keeps the bad guys at bay.

Click the images for the free hi-res wallpapers, and to learn how the final art was made, see our previous post featuring Amber's shoot with Nick Saglimbeni right here.

The response to our Veteran's Day social media posts reached unprecedented highs yesterday, so as a special thank you to our troops, we're releasing our next hero early. Welcome Sergeant First Class Amber to the SlickforceGirl ranks!

Model Amber Forrester is a real-life Southern belle, and she jumped at the chance to bring our brave Army Officer to life. She has some heartfelt words for our beloved troops, and she takes her role extremely seriously. For what it's worth, she also effortlessly handles a weapon almost half her size.

Thank you to all those who have served to protect freedom everywhere. Enjoy SlickforceGirl Amber Salutes the Troops!

Unsurprisingly, the response to our new Desert Mechanic Jessica character has been overwhelmingly positive — roughly 70% excitement and 30% drooling — which we no doubt owe in large part to our beautiful model Jessica Burciaga, who brought this hero to life. To her credit, it was pretty much impossible to make Jess even slightly unattractive, even with mountains of grease and dirt piled on her. She was a trooper ’til the end, so we thought it only fair to give our beloved readers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this shoot.
