SciFi and Fantasy Art 5 my resting swordwoman, colour by E. Johanna Gustavsson

At first this picture started out from a need of making a picture as anathomicallly correct as I could, when I started to add her features she developed a quite strong character and now she's like a personality of her own. She's actually a a sword woman but taking a short rest on the fluffy cushions for a sec or two. But don't try anything stupid, I'm sure she's got a dagger or something hidden in her clothes... ;D done in winter 2004 colored july 2005 prismacolor pencils (?) and watercolour, black ballpen for the outlines

24 Aug 2005	Kidnero	Loading... I hope she has other clothes going out for war! Or is her best weapon that she distracts all the guys that she fights against? If I had fought against her, I would have looked at a lot other places than at her sword. The outfit is just so good. The little leg belt, I bet she has a knife there during working hours, looks very interesting. Probably it would have been the last thing I saw, before she killed me. One thing I don't like is her head or rather the angle of it. It looks a little to much tilted. It's like her neck is stretching forward. Not a good way to rest. E. Johanna Gustavsson replies: "yes I think she has other clothes too, she'll definatly wear armour, to some degree at least, in battle. Or maybe it's a secret(?) fighting style of hers to distract her (male) opponents with that little leg belt (but I didn't mention anything about that, heheh). about the head; I see your point and you're right, it doesn't seem relaxing at all. At some point painting this I was thinking that she'd be looking at something but I never really finished that thought."
