| 19 Aug 2004 | Tina Wolfe | Loading...Can I just say that your art is amazing just one more time? I know people have been heckling you about the anatomy and I'm sure youre sick of it, but I do have to say just this one thing (and yeah I'm not one to talk). Its just that I am really nit picky about certain archery pictures because I do archery so I notice that more readily. It seems that she's holding the bow at a very odd angle. I think maybe it might look more fluid if you moved her hand up to be in line with her forearm (keep it one solid piece) because bows are heavy and she's liable to break a wrist doing that  Again you are so talented, I just love admiring your art. If I had a tenth of your talent I would die a happy woman. You are brilliant! | |

| 27 Dec 2005 | Aimee Genevieve Etier | Loading...Your work is gorgeous, and you've got a great gift for realism. The flaws present would all seem to be merely out of a lack of experience - for example, you're otherworldly with faces and expression, but as Tina pointed out the grip of the bow is a little funky. Having some experience with the female body and various weapons, I hope you'll forgive my lacking technical abilities when I offer this. If the sheath fits the scimitar's blade exactly, it wouldn't unsheath because the tang of the blade is narrower than the rest and it'd either lodge or cut the stitching. Also, she might want a quiver for the bow. I know a lot of people have been on this, but specific might be better: assuming she doesn't have some kind of magical support system, her breasts would fall out of that top - there's nothing holding them up, so they'd push toward center under the weight of the mail, and also downward; the line of the breast would be absent almost entirely on the sides. The body fat on women is soft, compressable, and also redistributes according to gravity. Her legs are probably a little skinny for the thickness inferred by the make of her mail - they'd be about that thick if she were bare-legged. Also, and yes, it's sort of beside the point because it's fantasy, but if I were her, I wouldn't have breaks in the mail at my crotch (femoral artery), belly (unprotected organs) or chest (heart, lungs). If you want a skin-bearing pose, you might as well have her out of the gear entirely - plus it gives you an excuse to body-study. On the other hand, aside from your indescribable technical ability, there are some exquisite details - the hairsticks are very practical (having three feet of hair, I *know* this), the pheasant(?)'s plumes are lovely and detailed (and its neck hangs long enough, I hunt and I see that mistake all the time), the stitching and wear on the sheath of the larger blade and the style of grip wrappings, even the cloth (leather?) hemming to the mail. (The mail itself I won't even start on.) Even the fat on her belly is included, and the ears show careful study. There's very little to improve from what I see, and even your attitude toward your audience is great. Good luck, maybe you'll find you want to use your talent for something more than a hobby. (Lastly, sorry about the length of this. I talk in the kind of detail you draw. x.x) | |
