SciFi and Fantasy Art: Gladiator

I scanned in this pen & ink drawing and then colored it in Photoshop with a Wacom tablet. I apologize for the really basic background; I had another one, but it was a photo-manipulated image, and therefore not suitable for Elfwood. Anyway, there's no real story behind this pic. I just started drawing a fitness chick in a magazine and she became a gladiator.

Great pic! Who scratched her belly? Did it happen during her last fight?

:-) Astra M. Poyser replies: "Yeah, I figure she had a run-in with a nasty critter in the ring. But hey, at least she's still standing -- I couldn't say the same for her opponent!"

Nice pose, and a very interesting weapon. Both look elegant-yet-lethal.

That has got to be the coolest weapon i have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also like the armor you made for her...

I like this. The feet look a bit too small (maybe it's the shin guards that make them look small). I love the hair and the pose. You might want to rename this to "Gladiatrix" seeing as it's a female gladiator.

I like it. My only objection is with the armor....it wouldn't really protect her, unless the person fighting her can only hit at her upper shoulders and shins. But she looks Roman, good job.

:-) Astra M. Poyser replies: "Yeah, well, it's still slightly better than the "bikini armor" that so many men draw! 12"

I like it, plus the shine on the breast plate area of the armor almost looks real. Her left leg is bent a little funny, no biggie.

Hello,

I really like your style. I’m designing a fantasy role playing game. It revolves around gladiatorial combat. I have been scouting for artwork. I believe that good art can help sell a game. I know that it is a factor for me any way. The game I’m working on is close to complete and I’ll be starting the play-testing phase soon. Your work is inspiring. I like the Angels and mythical creatures since the setting is early earth and they play a big role in the setting.

Sincerely
Mac
