Have some Pushing Daisies fanart! (full blame goes to @wurzelbertzwerg for introducing me to this awesome show ;)
I really like the style of the show and thought it would be awesome to combine it with another unique art style I love, namely that of Coles Phillips!
Specifically, I modelled this after Coles Phillips's illustration "Forward and Back", which, funnily enough, is one of his covers for 'Life' magazine 😉(you can check out Phillips's illustration under the cut):

October 1982. Bill Sienkiewicz tries his hand at a Coles Phillips Fadeaway Girl effect, with mixed results: The effect is undeniably striking, but the filigree on Scarlet's dress seems overly complicated, obsfuscating both her silhouette and the dress's actual borders more than is really desirable with this layout. Sienkiewicz's interior art in this issue is also striking (though less dramatic than the cover), evidencing his shift away from the Neal Adams pastiche of his early comics work, and mostly compensating for Doug Moench's unnecessarily florid script.

The Fadeaway Girl
There's a particular technique that remains popular for some kinds of commercial and decorative arts where the color of a character's clothing and/or hair is matched to the background so they appear to partially disappear into field of negative space — I just saw a piece of comics fan art in that mode.
This style was popularized more than a century ago by a commercial artist named Coles Phillips (1880–1927), whose "Fadeaway Girls" (or "Fadeaway Ladies") were featured on a variety of magazine covers and advertisements of the time. Here's a small sampling from GOOD HOUSEKEEPING magazine:
