I don't know what I was thinking, but I'm sure Virana will kill me for it... look at her eyes! You know she's angry XD

Just about a 20 minute doodle or so, I knew what I was doing from the beginning though, I've been watching Conan a fair amount lately, and I always equate Virana with a barbarian when *ladydove7 and I discuss D&D classes.

Ahh, how horribly uncharacteristic it is! But at least she's pissed off about it =D

The drawing wasn't too big, so my coloring is kinda messy, I can't color inside the lines XD My pencil sharpener won't even make a proper point, it just makes it longer. Must get a better one...

YAY for Vana-ness! Always good to see more of her^^ hmm...suggestions, suggestions. Lesee. It seems to me that with the very strong posture of the pose that her left arm would be fisted with her knuckles resting against her pelvis, thus her arm would be raised up a little bit more with more of the top of her hand showing and the knuckles against where the pelvic area bends at the waist. When it comes to her left foot, I think perhaps more of the heel would be showing and also the center of her foot would be lined up with the center of her knee since she's placing all of her wait on it. Also, the shape of her calves might be messing up the whole area of the leg. Make the outer/left part of the calf more rounded and thin out the inner/right part near the knee. Her toes seem like they'd also be pointed a little more inward...not by much..just a tad to line up with the center of her knee.

Hope that helps!

I would do her hands in a fist on her hip becasue it's such a strong pose.
For tone in the stomach with very few lines.....hmmmmmm..... Well ...what i would do would to do the muscle tone in shadows rather than lines like this [link]
But i think your wanting a bit more tone than that right?
So a small tampering line down the center of the tummy and a small line inward on the top of the hip area that points to the line of the crotch would make a definate smooth tone look.
Sorry i suck at explaining, if i could i would whip up a sketch and scan it to show you what i mean, cause i never have been good at explaining.

Anyway I can see thats it's going to be a great image when it's done.=D

The leg on -> that side looks like it's floating a bit, i would suggest making the ankles level with eachother so you can see her weight on the feet.

Cant wait to see when it's done.

Yeah, that foot in general is pretty half-assed right now, so I'll line the ankles up more when I get to it =D It ended up higher because I wanted to avoid having that foot look like it was tilted way down, but that doesn't work either XD I haven't really 'tried' with the feet yet, just stuck em in there ^_^

Thanks for the tips!
:icont-sama:
Hmm... with the way her left leg is positioned, it DOES look like the side of the foor should be showing more, but not too much. As for her hands... I can't help much their. ^^;; I have issues with hands myself, but I agree with ladydove and miss kitty... a fist would fit into this picture better just by her stance.

As for the tail... it just kinda looks like it's blowing in the wind right now.. lol. I'd either just have it around her waist, or you could leave it leaning towards that side of her, but bring it down lower and have the tip of the tail pointing upwards instead of down.

That's all I can think of right now. o.o; Sorry I'm not much of a help but I just woke up a little while ago and I'm still half dead. XD

Hmm... *studies* Over all, the sketch is good--considering it's a rough sketch, and lacking regular details. The legs look fine to me. The only thing that does bother me, though, is her right (our left) foot. It looks a tad off--like it's not quite connected to her ankle. But that's all. *shrugs* Could just be me.

Yep, I know the foots off because I haven't done anything with it yet, which is why I asked for suggestions on it. What would make it better, like a differeny angle or something? Any suggestions would be great.
:iconrainytown:
Wow! That looks wonderful =D
I don't think I can do proportions that well ^_^ Wtg!

At first I thought they were kidding
:iconguruubii:
pah, you got all the suggestions before i got to it ;__;
tho her left foot i would shorten her leg a bit so its farther back to give her more depth to her pose. right now her heels are on the same line and it makes things flatten out. i dunno if i explained that right...

I would also make her tail not coming right out of the side like that, i would make it as if it goes down a bit first because it looks a bit like its being pulled right now.

i'd put her foot on a 3/4 angle but i know thats easier said than done XD 3/4 is a BITCH with feet XD

I think her tummy looks keen

Fist on her hip would be my choice as well.
i might taper her cheek a bit more too. shes got kinda a cutesy face shape at the moment and so her fierceness in her pose might not be as strong. hopes I helpes =3

Just to confirm, do you mean left of the screen or her left, because if it's her left leg, moving it backward I think would put it off balance.

Yeah, I think tilting the tail down more would look more natural, as you can probably tell I basically threw it in ^_^

Also for the foot, 3/4 tilting to the left of the screen or the right?

I'm glad you mentioned the cheek, I hadn't really noticed o_0 I normally make Virana's jaw more sharp, but I didn't really pay attention after I drew it in o_0 Many thanks!
:iconguruubii:
left leg, and moving it wouldnt put it off balance. right now they are on the same level, which is off balance. its not moving it back its making her stance 3/4 like her body is. right now her foot placement is on a front on view. know what i mean? if not i can draw you a demo later.
believe it or not in composition class gideon went on a whole class about foot placement ^^;

trust me.

and for the foot the 3/4 would be facing out,(to the left of the screen < -- )otherwise it would be pigeon toed which is bleh XD i can demo that one too if I'm not being clear ^^;
