SciFi and Fantasy Art: Dark Elf Bounding Sketch

This is good withhout the shading. Excellent picture. You have a lot of talent.

Jonathan E. Wright replies: "Thank you, Paul. I still feel this picture is a little wierd overall (the pose seems a bit unnatural), but I'm glad you liked it."

Excellent lineart... and the pose is like she will slash forward with her right arm, or something, ha.

...I must complain acctually... she has the build of a man... or a bodybuilding woman, (which is among the most ugly in the world). And yes I've played Lineage 2, even have a character(Dark elf) and they do NOT look anything like this...

Great lineart none the less.. The other f Dark elfs you've drawn are a whole lot better...

Nowhere near as "freaky" as a bodybuilding woman Diana.

But she is a little too mucular really to look like a woman. Looks more like a man with skinny arms. Her thighs are about as thick as her waist though (each) which is a little worrying.

Woah those thighs are fecking huge man, and i aint said nothing bout those tatas yet... Seriously though, theyre like balloons, are you trying to live out fantasies on paper?

With the rest of her body that musculuar, I don't think her breasts would really be that big, it'd be nearly impossible as women's breasts get smaller the more they work their upper body, as it looks like she's done. Other than that, I think it's fantastic.

P.S. I think she looks more like a gymnast with big breasts than a body builder. It's a good look...

I'd have to say that the basic sketching of the muscular regions and such are well drawn, yet taking into consideration the magnitude of which the woman is built, her breasts are indeed looking a bit on the large size... especially due to the fact that realistically, a woman wielding a longsword/katana type weapon would find it difficult to swing and strike a foe with such a burden between her arms. I've never been able to understand the pattern of an illustrator's thinking when drawing women with unrealistically large breasts wielding weapons that are obviously too difficult for her chest to handle.

Would it be okay with you if i used this on a www.Zazzle.Com t-shirt i plan to make? I think this is so brilliant of a sketch. or can i at least color it differently from the colored version and post it?

The sword is coo-el!
Lots of movement in this picture!

This is what i'm talkin about!!! much better without the shading!
