FanArt: Kaname's morning stretch

Hmmm. I'm surprised that no one else has commented on this picture yet. Is it fairly new to your Elfwood gallery? Anyways, I like the detail you've given to the face and that shirt covering her upper body. Except for the legs and arms the proportions aren't too bad. It's pretty good if it's just meant to be a quick sketch. The only thing that seems strange to me is the way you've arched her back. It looks kind of un-natural. Not even cats can arch their backs and hips at that angle. Unless, of course, you did it that way intentionally as part of your style. Then that would be your perogative as the artist.

Jennifer (Jenny) Crawford replies: "All pictures bordered in red are new to the gallery, and I just uploaded this one last month. The picture here on EW is lacking some touchups, but the version displayed on my website is a finished piece. It's not meant to be complex. It takes too long to update EW so this picture will be staying as is.

Her arm and leg proportions are correct, but it may be hard to see properly because her legs and arms run off the page so quickly (my paper just isn't that tall.) As to her back arching being unnatural - in this instance unfortunately that can't be more wrong. I drew this pose loosely from a photo, and the model in the photo was arching her back even more severely than that. I think I'll have to scan and post that photo on my website so I can show others it really is possible. (even if it is freakily weird.)"

You know, you're right about the back arching. I remember an episode of 'Ripley's Believe It or Not' where a female contortionist squeezed into a two foot transparent cube and she had her butt bent right over the top of her head. For some reason I just forgot about that at the time I made the earlier comment. Sorry.

Jennifer (Jenny) Crawford replies: "No problem, but yeah, it's freakily weird!! I can tell you now __I__ sure don't bend that way..."

Well done! another great picture, i dont have much to say, well nothing like the people above but i LOVE this picture. Your work is the BEST!

I think she is just too skinny... and who would sleep in booty shorts?!

That is so sexy, baby!!
