"Angela" by Thomas J. Gibbs

A *Seperate section, requiring signup/ageproof* would be much more suitable, I'd think, for those pictures which feature nudity.

Thomas J. Gibbs replies: "I agree with you to some extent. However, I have no idea what that has to do with this drawing..."

Hey there love the pic

yeah vic here has been poping up all over elfwood with the same comment i even got one for a man i did on my site and it was a belly up shot heh ..I dunno i can agree some can be too adult but this pic isnt in any way suggestive unless youre turned on by women with weaons keep up the good work

Thomas J. Gibbs replies: "lol! Thank you! Hmmm... if someone wants to make a point about nudity on Elfwood then maybe they should just comment on pics WITH nudity. Perhaps Vic should email someone with the authority to do something about it. Thank you again!"

Awww, thanks, Honey! I think you did such a great job on her, and I'm not just saying that to make your online persona look cooler... lol. I'm really honoured that you chose to draw her, and I think that you did an awesome job depicting her. This is definitely how I've come to picture her! No wonder August can't resist her... lol. (and no, I haven't completely forgotten about my offer to draw him in return ...) Once again you amaze me with your ability to render shading (especially on skin tones) and facial expression... Even if I didn't know Angela quite well, I would say that her expression is one depicting a relative naivete in the ways of the world, yet don't see any of her primitive superstitious hatred and distrust of men. Thats a good sign... for August.. lol. Although I most definitely detect a slight twitch in the knee and I sense a strong hunger for a strong connection and impact with a certain rather sensitive region of any member of the opposite sex... lol. But once again, I really like this drawing, I think you did an awesome job on it, I'm honoured that you spent so much time and effort on her!

Thomas J. Gibbs replies: "Thank you, Fran! I had a really good time with this drawing, trying all kinds of different techniqes to make her look right and stuff. I'm glad you think I did her justice! I certainly think she's one of my best yet! Thank you again for commenting! "

That would be cool, I think i'm going to start running a game again soonish. So essentially all I'm missing is a map, an update of current events, and that book you use for the magic system. So I don't have any clue what i'm going to do about that actually...

Thomas J. Gibbs replies: "I don't use any of the old system at all aside from Central Casting. I HIGHLY recommend a system called HARP (High Adventure Role Playing) by ICE. It is very similar to Rolemaster but greatly simplified! It's the best system EVER!!!"

Hey, I just wanted to say, that at first look the face just seems to come out of the picture, it looks like almost a 3D image, very well done. But don't feel good about yourself, i'm sure i'll have something to complain about if you give me a minute :-p

Thomas J. Gibbs replies: " Thank you Jason! I was just wondering about how you were doing today. I really still DO plan on sending you that map! lol..."

She's very beautiful and very beautifully drawn! Very nice job on the shading, it can be quite hard, but you really nailed it. I think you have a special gift for facial expressions. They really helps make your characters come alive. I think this is my favorite of yours. Keep them coming!

Thomas J. Gibbs replies: "Thank you very much! I spent a very long time trying to get the shading to look right on this one! I'm glad it shows! "

Just love the pose! It looks so natural! I would have made the pants stand out just a bit more, they look like part of her skin, but that's just my taste.
BTW, the face is gorgeus and a hands up for the sahding

Watch out Luis Royo! I Love this piece. Who needs colour with abs like that! As for the borderline nudity... Well, hasn't antone seen Xena: Princess Warrior?... My eyes need say no more.
