Description Just an experiment... lighting, skin, heat... I'm not sure how well I accomplished my goal, but I think it's allright in the end. *blink* Drawn without any reference pics, except for the swords. o.o;

Very well draw... far better than anything I will be able to do on my lifetime.. beyond my total failure at ever drawing women . I really enjoy your work.

Gorgeous piece. <3 The shading is wonderful and I love how the piece flows like if you blink she'll be steppingin a different direction and swinging the sword low and coming around to make another pose. ^-^

This reminds me of a friend of mine who's the lead singer of a local band here in MD, Cassandra Syndrome.

Just like her, it's gorgeous, sensual...and vaguelly intimidating.

that is absolutely georgous! The pose is brilliant, the shading is amazing.
I think you captured heat really well! The hair looks so beautiful!
I love her muscles. It looks so realistic!

I can't draw realistic people to save my worthless life. T_T I love how you did the hair, and the lighting is awesome.

Nishido [2006-08-12 23:32:17 +0000 UTC]

Awesome work! Everything looks wonderfull! Even when the wrist seems a bit too fragile for the weigh of the swords. In my opinion they are too thin, even for a woman. But is great the work you had done without references. You really have tallent.

colinmo [2006-08-12 08:42:15 +0000 UTC]

No reference picks save for swords? Wow, great mental anatomy you have /yoda.

Love the skin tones and musculature you've got in that picture. *obhelpfulcrit* the hands look a bit odd, but they definately fit the piece */ob* (hope that helps and made sense)

+watch (and it's not related to this picture, but I find your comics greatly amusing)

Darth-Chaltab [2006-06-26 22:23:06 +0000 UTC]

Very nice. I think the left arm might be a little bit too long, but otherwise very, very good, especially considering it was done without a refference.

madamgemini [2006-04-11 08:50:38 +0000 UTC]

That's gorgeous. The only thing I'm not quite sure about is her right butt cheek... Hrrm. *makes a mental note to get into that pose in front of the mirror tonight* But yeah. Beautiful. I actually really love the way you did the hair.

Goeshinmaru [2006-04-06 22:58:10 +0000 UTC]

Is the right leg suposed to be closer to the viewer? I think thats what I noticed right off, the perspective on that leg seems off, but the light and shadow it gorgeous! I like the way you did the strands of hair falling down the back , kinda gives the picture a sense of intenciy.

FreeSpirit2Moon [2006-03-26 21:48:42 +0000 UTC]

Back shots are my fav. they are so elegant and really show off the female shape. The lighting is lovely as well as here hair. Good lord though I would be afraid to dance around with sharp objects in the nude, I might end up with a few less body parts than I began with. Great drawing though, wonderful movement and such

This is really beautiful. The swords look fantastic, and I love the use of lighting, especially on her back. The hair looks great, too.

chibbit [2006-03-25 00:52:49 +0000 UTC]

Gorgeous anatomy. o_o I think the pic might look more centered if the bottom of that foot was in there (though you might do what I do all the time and...start too much in the middle of the page and run out of room at the bottom, ahah..hah... >_>; ), but everything else is fantastic. Shading is + awesome, and the pose and anatomy are just wow.

shinga In reply to chibbit [2006-03-25 01:01:25 +0000 UTC]

That's EXACTLY what I did. *L* But the paper was just small, I guess, because if I'd draw it any higher I would've run out of room for the top o_O I'll probably edit this pic later to add the bottom of her foot, cause to be honest, it bugs the hell out of me XD ^___^

ashigaru [2006-03-25 00:40:27 +0000 UTC]

There's a sense of motion and rhythm that I like here; the curvature of the swords compliments the curves of the figure.

I can feel the steamy heat from this image, the muscles working and motion of the swords, the whistling of blades slicing through air. It's nicely lit, as well...

I don't think I'll be able to convince my Sensei that training this way would be a good idea, however.

Drygon [2006-03-25 00:37:24 +0000 UTC]

wow. this is amazing! all the curves of the arms and legs... really great! and you can really see the heat, it's subtle effects, but it really shows up in the whole thing. i envy you. ^^

I thought it would be another dance session with the three sisters, this is quite a surprise.
Lovely work. Too bad her foot didn't fit in the page.

Adawen [2006-03-24 20:44:42 +0000 UTC]

the antomy looks alright but it seems odd because her foot is going off the page, it sort of looks squashed.

Pron? This? Thanks, I needed that laugh! Much appreciated, now go watch Teletubbies or something so I don't rob you of your innocence some more by drawing, say, naked breasts or something.

Um, just how is this porn? It's not showing any sexual acts, no visible bodily fluid, no gaping orafices and no stimulation at all! All this is is a woman dancing naked, holding a pair of swords.

Best you double check your viewpoint, chum. This isn't porn, not by a long shot.
