See the bottem of this thread for the new stuff.

Hey guys, just want to say this looks to be one hell of a kick ass forum and I look forward to posting more on it, heres my first:

An OLLDDDD (like grade 3 I made her) character named 'blair' originally, who I redrew up. Shes part of this big ass story I wrote way back that actually, could be redone into a good read.

Her character is a more super secret agent type of deal if memory serves, with powers and such. She needed this forumula to keep this strength up and used others to boost it at certain times etc.

Anywho.

Welcome Duncan to Sijun Smile

If this is so old, I suggest you draw some new from scratch

I don't know if you like SO muscular women Smile

but I could recommend to study anatomy from good teaching books or from life.

If you want have some crits on this painting:

it depends if you want paint carton-like or life-like.

The colour of skin disturbs me. it is too brown which doesnt go well with strong blue.

if it is about life-like. so try avoid lines and avoid white background to get better and more understandable values in the whole.

but anyway this painting looks good from other aspects.

Good luck. try draw/paint new and new

okay duncan. I'm as much to blame as anyone, so here's my take on it. just one way you can go with it, like tomasis said.

I'm not so hot on anatomy, and alsmost never paint women, so maybe I'm the wrong person to help, but I just shortened the waist section and took some first steps down the 'realism' route.
