Marvelous face on the sabretooth! I love how your anatomical skills are improving with each drawing, great work! I’d really love to see the story(s) behind all of these.

:-) Samuel E Martens replies: "This is an illustration depicting an episode in a story I started writing in between my first and second drafts of the main story I’d been trying to write. I get enough good feedback that I should think about working this scene in. Maybe a third draft is in order. If you were serious about helping me in any way, I’d like to send you the first chapter. I’ve tried twice to illustrate scenes in this chapter. Neither is any good. My e-mail address is Samuel.martens@yahoo.com E-mail me if you are truly interested in this job, the chapter is a little over 5 pages long.
P.S. I don’t know how well hypertext transfers through Elfwood’s Comment Harvester.

Oooo... scary. 16 Its a really great looking action scene! For some reason I get the impression when I first look at it that the leg of Bonnie’s that’s in a kneeling position is in front of the one that’s raised, even though it isn’t. Maybe some more shading on the kneeling leg would help?

:-) Samuel E Martens replies: "I know. There’s some real perspective problems on this one but I’ve not really been able to put finger on it. Thanks for the suggestions."

Aww, kitty! *tries to pet the saber tooth cat*
*gets arm bitten off*
Oww. . .

But seriously, I LOVE the kitty.

Great dynamic pose for the cat. At this point I’d bet my money on him 1 I like that the woman has such strong legs.

Nice, I love saber tooth cats, but don’t see enough of them. Excellent pose.

Fantastic pose and angle in this one. Very nice.

Nice detail! Love the shading

:-) Samuel E Martens replies: "This was one of my earlier works, 2005 I think. There are some serious problems with perspective but people seem to like it."

WOW!!! Awesome sabre! So ferocious and powerful, the pose is amazing, really great job!

:-) Samuel E Martens replies: "I can’t understand why so many people pick this one to comment on. The girls leg is twisted out of perspective and this is one of my worst works technically. I keep it out of nostalgia and because people seem to like it. I only wish I’d done a better job on it. I guess the subject matter of my other works is found objectionable. Oh well, I guess it’ll just have to be one of the many mysteries of the universe. "

Excellent work, Samuel
