Rick2tails: she has skipped meals before though. but shes looking damn good here! also not sure if youre going for the painted look here.But I highly prefer to think shes wearing sports bra and shorts instead
Filthypaladin: I do actually canonically imagine Katia's legs as being not very muscular and a bit on the thinner side considering her petite size and calorically challenged nature. I also recount some older model art describing her as "wimpy" as well. But, maybe I shouldn't be doubting that fine naturally toned cat muscle!
Geravind: Ah... you messed up with the right foot ...mostly by pink spots and shadowing. The ankle and the heel are a bit off (Khajiit had hard times figuring it out during own drawing attempts).
Guys, shadowing is fucking simle to comprehend (if you CAN into stereometry), yet not so simple to picture sometimes. Just check out, how it works IRL.
Filthypaladin: @Geravind: No worries, I understand. I tend to have trouble with stray pixels just because the value is so similar. As for breaking down form into yet simpler forms is a work in progress, not so simple as it seems. The basic spheres, cubes, and cones take time in of themselves to understand and how light interacts with their unique planes, while merging them together into more complicated human figures has taken me the better part of a year to begin to understand. Since the muscle groupings change form depending on which one's are in use, and that's after building an understanding of what muscles compose each group, and what they actually do to move the body. Then of course how they actually look in the picture plane and natural looking posing.
Filthypaladin: @Geravind: It's important not to diminish how complicated the process truly is, it's much more multifaceted than it seems. It's a daunting task that even masters have to consistently reinforce, and to new-coming artists, as there seem to be many on here, it can seem that much worse.
Filthypaladin: @Filthypaladin: So, to anyone, don't be disheartened, it's tough learning process that does indeed take time to learn and conceptualize effectively.
AMKitsune: If I may, a couple of small suggestions. While the posing is very good, I can't help but notice an apparent disconnect between her realistically styled lower half and her more cartoony upper half.
Specifically, the fact that her legs have clearly defined musculature while her visible upper arm is as straight as a board. Also, I'm really not too sure about this, but I feel like her legs might be a little too large in proportion to the rest of her body. Her thighs seem about as wide as her waist.
I'm not sure if this is an objective improvement or not, but this is what I imagine as fixes for these suggestions.
What do you think? I'm really unsure of myself at the moment, so do these strike you as legitimate suggestions, or am I talking out of my ass right now?
Filthypaladin: @AMKitsune: Also, from my references, bulky, muscular thighs on women do tend to be that big in relation to the waste. In fact I probably should have given her a bigger butt. :)
AMKitsune: @Filthypaladin: Ok, fair point. Her hips got caught up in the shrinkening, so they're something of an unintended casualty. On the 'swole legs' thing, well don't I look the fool now.
Describe This Image As Dramatically As Possible
