Description To finish off 2007, I saved my best one for last!

Here's Heather Dawes with her Deity, Enyo. I had actually compiled this image together from several previous sketched attempts of this picture; none of which I was really totally happy with. Using my light-table, I was able to ink each section that I liked from the sketches into a composite final image I was very much pleased with. My only regrets with this image are that the details on her boots are mostly covered by the coloring, and that I had initially drawn her mole in the wrong spot (I shoop'd it out of the image, since its actual location an inch or so lower on her face would be covered by her shoulder in this pose.

END OF THE YEAR FESTIVITY EVENT AND SUCH!

To the first one who is able to figure out what the symbol on her belt buckle represents, I will draw a free fanart of one of your characters!

Very nice, still got to get that good with my females and coloring, but it is showing my alittle more on getting my females better.

But looks damn good.

I like the pose and the composition of the piece. There is a lot of focus on the girl but Enyo remains an integral part of it.

UnholyPaladinStudios In reply to TAHOpaints [2008-02-07 19:23:04 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I think this is the first one of these I've done that has given sufficient "personality" to the Deity.

Hey, great work! You've really outdone yourself on this pic.

From a technical level, I really like the composition of the scene- everything goes together quite nicely. Your coloring work is good and strong, and I like the cleanly applied tones that you've added for shading. The lighting looks quite natural, too. I can see a lot of detail to catch the eye, and the mechanistic appearance of her Deity is well-conceived. Good job on all of it!

Wow! Since my moral character is hardly worth defending anymore, I'm just gonna come out and say that your character has a very, very nice ass. Love that fishnet stuff going on, too...

Okay, belt buckle! Hmmm... that coloration pattern... some kind of hamster or chinchilla? Looks more like a chinchilla cause of the ears...

UnholyPaladinStudios In reply to Qtub-Ayback [2008-01-20 05:10:26 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha thanks man! I always try to draw my women in such a way that enhances their good attributes! Here Heather combines a few of my favorite things to see on a woman: long hair, fishnet, and a sweater.

The belt buckle is (sort of) a mammal at least, but much larger than a chinchilla! So far no one has been able to figure it out though... It's a very specific fictional character.

Holy !@#$#@!

.. ah, YEAH! what I meant to say is that she is gorgeous AND badass, and your style continues to strike me as phenomenal! Seriously.. every time I look at your work, there is something that just amazes me. Your coloring is great, but I REALLY like the lines and the detail. Some of the moreso rigid, sharp aspects of the piece in conjunction with the curvasceousness of the starlet of your picture.

Great job!

Haha thank you for your kind words! Lately I've been pushing myself a lot harder to produce quality works; and comments like these definitely help me stay motivated in my quest for better art. Thank you!

Thank you! All of the strange looks people give me at the store while buying fashion magazines are worth it for results like this!

So far, no one has figured out the belt symbol yet.... although, since it's in the keywords, so it's highly likely that the first person to see it won't actually be looking for this!

Your colouring never ceases to amaze me. PLus I really dig that pose. As for her belt buckle...it looks like a type of hound. Maybe a bloodhound?

Thank you! On this one, I did the base tones and the Deity behind her all with watercolor paint, then on her I did the main coloring with Prismacolor pencils and some touchup work with acrylics.
