character revisited - priestess

Seems a while since I've posted any 2d work! well over the last few days I did some quick figure studies. I was quite happy with the result so decided to progress one of the studies into a character painting. This character is a re-visit of one I posted some time ago in the form of a model sheet.

Hey, I remember this from a while back. When you say quick figure studies do you mean from life or reference or just from the top of your ninja shirted head? One thing I noticed straight away (because its the first thing I always look for) is that you seem to have avoided doing the hands and feet to the same level of detail as the rest of the figure. The rest of the figure looks spot on though, you've got a nice sense of weight going with the pose of the figure.

But yes, add feet. Unless she's re-enacting the end of T2, in which case your next drawing should have her on her knees screaming at the ceiling, about to explode.

the figure was from photo reference - much faster to get good natural pose. I left the hands and feet out simple because they aren't important to the concept. But just for you Azazel I have added some :P
Actually your comment made me think that it might be a good detail to include, especially as I want to use it in my on-line portfolio.

neat quick paint, looking at the side profile, it looks like she's going to topple forward.

cheers.
