SciFi and Fantasy Art: Warrior-Babe

Louise the Barbarian, conqueror of kingdoms, vanquisher of demons, breaker of hearts... This is a modelled sketch of beloved; Louise. Who patiently stood for hours while I repeatedly redrew her. Personally I'd rank this as my best picture ever, though it fails to do her any justice... Here Louise the Barbarian is shown early on in her career, while exploring the catacombs of Halifax. As a quick note to the criticsin the comments section, Louise may not be exceptionally well muscled, but is a black-belt in shaolin Kung-Fu and can therefore handle herself with a sword. Anyway enough of my girlfriends warrior credentials, you guys care about the art right? Here it is...

I think this is pretty good. I like how to did the cracks in the mausoleum, or whatever that is, and the ground.

um, she has no protection, her arms are a bit thin to be a sword fighter, she has no foot wear on, and well, she just doesn't lok threatening. don't get me wrong i like the pic, the artwork is good, but i get bothered by seeing all these REALLY impracticle warriors, male and female, but well thats just my opinion, you sure do have alot more mobility like this, so thats always a pluss for a fighter...

I just think it's really pretty, her expression fits well with the stance she is in. Who cares if she isn't so warrior-like in this pic, she's relaxing. Perhaps her upper torso should be twisted a little more to be even with her legs. Good job. o.O

The only thing I have to say about the picture is that I like it and think it's very well done. It may not be perfect, but it's attractive and creative, two qualities that make illustrations work for me.

As for the criticisms that she needs more muscle, clothing, et al, I think that's malarky for a couple of reasons: (1) This is fantasy! Realism can (and often should) be left by the wayside, at the whim of the artist. (2) For real-life examples of extremely potent warriors who bear little clothing/armor, go barefoot, and have normal physiques, one need only look at Zulus, early Greek soldiers, Picts/Celts, and modern day martial artists.
