Love the soft tones you use to show off her hard-earned body. Is she an OC of yours? Either way I would love to see more of her. ^^

Thank you. Yes, Vivian is one of my original characters. I actually have 5 other sketches of her in my gallery, so there's more for you to see already.
Vivian has an olive/medium brown skin tone, so that plays particularly well with shadows and highlights. Alot of muscle girls, wrestlers, etc, get tans so that the definition of their shape is easier to see, but that's not the case here. When I get to drawing more characters from this series there will be more variety in sizes and shapes.

I can't wait to see where else you go with Vivian. An olive/med.brown tone would look gorgeous, especially since it allows her to avoid the spray-tan orange look of a lot of FBBs. She looks so calm and composed despite having a ton of power in her frame. <3

Thanks. Feel free to watch me if you haven't already so you don't miss out on any of that. I will probably also color some of these monochromes, even though they look fine in greyscale too. I do want to avoid the misunderstanding that she is not tanning, she is just brown skinned, so the coloring will also make that apparent also.
As for her personality, you're pretty close to what I was going for with the character design. Despite being strong and athletic I wanted to balance her out by having her a bit shy/reserved/gentle and have some interplay comparison between that and the other characters. I can sort of already imagine a story for this that goes far beyond bodybuilding itself. The bodybuilding element is just one theme in larger ideas that sort of builds on designs or stories I already had as basic concepts. I have too many base ideas that it's beginning to make sense at this point to merge some of them together. lol

Fair enough! I will totally add you to my watch

I totally understand that! I've been on deviantART for well over 10 years (the first years were on my first account so that's not reflected in what my profile says. I basically just wanted to change my username, but that feature didn't exist back then). I know how it is trying to make your watches relevant. It's really easy to give a watch on impulse, but I try to keep the watches streamlined as I can to the topics I'm interested in, so that I am both inspired and able to help/critique if I can. I've also, over the years, done a better job of managing my faves, giving different folders for different things, etc.
As for the lips, yeah, she is gasping. The interplay it has with her face being obscured by the hair is nice: you don't have to see her eyes this time to know she's straining, so hopefully, it looks more real that she's lifting the weight. I've taken to having that strand of hair cover one eye, and in some poses obscure her face because of the interesting looks it can give. In one picture, it might play to her shyness, in another it might emphasize something else.
Anyways, I've rambled long enough! Nice talk with you! Thanks for listening!

Yep!
I plan on drawing more strong women, both originals like these ones I've been doing, and fanarts. Funny you should have the Amazoness from Dragon's Crown as your avatar, because she's actually one of the characters I plan to draw at some point. Probably also Zarya from Overwatch, since she's a big woman, plus I did art for that already.

That sounds cool. I'll put you on my watch list. I like strong female characters.
