SciFi and Fantasy Art The Infamous Painting By Kant Dimuril by Matt Jarrett

This is a drawing of a painting. Let me explain. In Joanna's Dungeons & Dragons history she became lovers with the Lord Mayor of Highport, Kant Dimuril, for a brief time. While in his company Kant asked her to pose for him for a painting since he was a very gifted painter. This was the result. He had it framed and placed the large painting (framed it was nearly 5 feet across) in the main foyer of his mansion where guests could appreciate his handiwork. Kant titled his masterpiece "Joanna of Ket in Recline". Even though it was his best work and everyone who saw it were awe struck by how he managed to capture Joanna's beauty, Kant acknowledges he failed miserably at duplicating her beauty, and that the painting is a pale shadow of how gorgeous she actually is in person.

Some years later the painting found its way to the Pleasure Dome (imagine Las Vegas compacted into a single giant palace set in a medievil fantasy world and you get the idea), where it is on display in the main lobby area hanging over the entrance inside. Of course, Joanna believed it was still hanging in Kant's mansion until she decided to go gambling at the Dome and saw herself naked on the wall. Embarrassment soon followed. She soon discovered that the painting had become rather infamous, and some people even make the long voyage to the Dome just to see it.

1 Dec 2010	JD Dawn	Loading... woah boobs! .....This is beautiful, and I’m finding it hard to believe that you did all this with just colored pencils, that’s really incredible! Love the natural look of her hair and the folds of the cloth, and the detail in the background! Wow! Is this drawing of a painting actually framed, or was the frame digitally added later? Beautiful work! Matt Jarrett replies: "I digitally added it later. Thanks for the compliments! I am flattered"
2 Dec 2010	Alexey Lutsenko	Loading... Incredible!
9 Dec 2010	Maya ileana	Loading... wow...heheh...she is.............hot...(do you fall in love with her?) Matt Jarrett replies: "No...she’s just fun to draw. I created her as a love interest/damsel in distress for an old Dungeons and Dragons campaign I was DMing. She then became an experiment in human psychology as I shaped her history and how that history molded her into who she is now. I sought to show that beauty can be as much a curse for a woman as it is a blessing. Since she is a woman of many seeming contridictions she was fun to play, and when I retired from DMing I decided it would be fun and a challenge to make her a player character. "
10 Dec 2010	Mongo	Loading... Her left hand looks creepy and and old lady-ish. Also her boobies look like there so big and heavy that they roll to the side a bit. But I thinks it’s about time you made Joanna without any clothes on her. Matt Jarrett replies: "Her boobs are large and heavy, and they are supposed to sag. Real boobs do that"
25 Mar 2011	Monserrat Martsnore Gutierrez	Loading... Hum, I think I couldn’t draw such nice naked-portraits. blushy smile
20 Dec 2011	Just a beginner (and girl)	Loading... if you are interseted in anatomy, as you seem to be in many drawings, I suggest you take a look at female athletes. they might help you give Joanna the muscle mass she is suppose to have, being a fighter/dancer and what not. She seriously needs some flesh on the upper body, if only to match the muscle mass of her legs. Since she is persisting in going around in high heels, she also should have the proper bone distortion that you get by doing that for years. It’s hard to explain in words, so just have a look at ballet dancers and how putting all body weight on the toes changes the shape of the leg to the extrem. well, this is your fantasy babe in your fantasy world, so you do as you wish. I am just pretty jealous at your drawing and simply pissed at all those Fantasy Babes. Matt Jarrett replies: "Well...I think she’s pretty muscular in the legs in my other drawings of her (Her "extensive wardrobe" pics, for example). I didn’t want to give her muscular abs, but she is rather toned. I think this is plausible for a dancer, expecially for one who mostly does bellydances. In fact, from what I’ve been told by friends who belly dance, they need a little flab since being too skinny makes belly rolls hard to pull off. Her body tone would probably be closer to Shakira’s than to a fitness instructor. No sense in getting upset at women who don’t exist. Although, she’s an amalgam of several real life people; the face of Jaime Bergman and a few others, the body of and breast shape of Kym Malin (but size increased from a size D to a size F), the hair of Terri Welles, the stomach of Carmen Berg...you get the idea.
