This is an attempt to put out a piece that is a little bit 'iconic' in nature, maybe something usable as an illustration. Oh, and by the way, the color is just an experiment. I saw a Chinese comic that only used red in an otherwise b+w mag, and I liked it.

Ink on mega-cheap paper, colored (what little there is...) on computer, original 11x17 inches.

I still say it deserved at least $50! Blah. Stupid economy. Gonna put all us artists in the poorhouse. Or keep us there, as the case may be. ¬_¬

Still, I'm proud of you for trying. You'll do better next time. ^_^

this picture captured my attention first because of the red as the only colour, between black&white.. It is very good, excellent for a tattoo in my point of view, very sexy and at the same time it seems like those greek sculptures of the Antiquity Age 2 Well done

Very, very nicely done. I have a hard time inking my figures and having them look "fleshy" enough - they always wind up looking flat. Excellent movement in this one, as well. .. only thing that kinda irks me is that her hands look a little small, and where her right leg joins at the hip - but... it's a difficult angle, and without looking at a naked woman of that body type in that exact pose, I can't really say if something is wrong or not. ^-^ .. going to shut up now....

I agree with Natalie, her hands do seem a little small; but on the other hand [no pun intended] I have known some women with pretty small hands. And they're quite well formed, I like the slight suggestion of claws with her pointed nails.

The body is really beautiful, the best I've seen yet here--that's how a woman [as opposed to a girl] looks, strong but soft. She's...this is an odd word, but, fertile. Most of the idealized "fantasy" female bodies look so sterile, plastic. Those women would never have little children clinging to their skirts--this one could and she'd still be attractive.

Very nice, makes me think of the miniatures in medieval books. Perhaps a strange connection I made in my brain, but I like it!!!

Love this picture. Must disagree with above critics..

Her hands simply look like they're a characteristic.. and as for the hips.. what's wrong there? Hrm.

Anywho... lovely... i especially like her expression.. although you cannot see her eyes, it shows emotion, and is realistic.
well done. 2
