Description Important Notes:

I have no archery training; `jademacalla was kind enough to allow me to use his bow and give me some basic tips. Thus, these are probably not accurate references for a skilled archer. These photos were taken with a non-realistic approach to archery in mind; they are more geared to the magical and the fantasy. Please consider this when using them for reference.

Please refrain from making comments about the model's ability. I am already aware of the shortcomings of the technical aspects.

wanted bow stock. How could I say no?

As an archer myself, the pose/way you are holding the bow looks a bit awkward. The arm holding the bow, you elbow needs to twist out slightly. Otherwise the way you are holding it when you let go of the bow string and let the arrow fly, you are going to get a very nice welt from where the bow string hits your arm. (hence the twisting of the elbow to avoid this.) Otherwise pretty good.

I wonder, is that outfit practical? Cuz it seems so, it does confer a lot of mobility and much more...

AdorkaStock In reply to StevenCojo [2012-11-21 22:34:23 +0000 UTC]

In this case, where the photo was taking for pose reference, it is practical in that it allows the pose to be seen clearly without the interference of additional clothing or a mature content filter that would restrict younger viewers.

I've noticed you're always wearing a white leotard. Does that serve a technical function?

AdorkaStock In reply to DiamondSeer [2012-11-21 19:59:05 +0000 UTC]

This stock is intended mainly to be for reference when creating works from scratch. It is important to me that as much of the form is made clear as is possible. I chose a white bodysuit hoping it would show contour well while remaining somewhat modest. This allows the stock to be seen by deviants of all ages because no mature content marking is required.
