I have been wandering through this forum for a while now and what strikes me is that every girl painting is either a "warrior babe" or a "biker" babe... or some other real nasty bitch holding weapons that weigh twice as much as the girl. Do you guys have any links to digital paintings of "girlish" girls.. a lil less dangerous and nasty?

do you realize 80% of the kids online these days have not seen a normal looking girl in a year or so?

or a non-jpeg one at least..

i'd guess this has something to do with that :P

You mean... chicks still exist in REAL-LIFE too? (hmm.. when was the last time I spend my day in real-life...??)

OOPs

You just described to a tee what I am working on now.

Personally after drawing "real" women in art school for four years I find it kinda refreshing to put some armor and guns on them. I just think it is fun.

I think it also appeals to the male desire to see a sexy chic that could kick some ass.

I do use my fiance as a reference, otherwise my chics come out looking like Aeon Flux. I think it is important to stay somewhat true to form.

He he...Good point, Big wings...

I had a post a while ago calle "how do you draw a sensitive girl?" Ive been drawing warrior babes so long i forgot what sensitive looks like.

Tiger Eaten · Posted: Wed Nov 22, 2000 8:18 am

That would actually make for a pretty good thread. Put people to the task of posting the "most" heart string pulling girl they can produce. Bet we'd get some cuties on here. I think I'll give it a whirl but for some reason a lot of my girls end up with fangs by the end of the composition.

There are tons of cute little anime girls out there, with their big eyes and grins

BigWings · Posted: Wed Nov 22, 2000 8:50 am

Nice posts .... ceenda.. the hair is great... howd you do that?

Well I think Tiger Eaten 's idea to invite everybody to post his/her most "heart string pulling" girl on this thread is a good idea...

so.. keep ehm honeys floodin' in

Tinusch · Posted: Wed Nov 22, 2000 11:19 am

And about 99% of the girl pics show them half-naked, too

Tiger Eaten · Posted: Wed Nov 22, 2000 11:26 am

But this is the romantic "Heart Stings" thread. I believe the hard core thread isn't on the schedule till sometime next week?

All you guys are talking like there aren't any girl artists on this forum... and I know for a fact that there's at LEAST one. I'd hazard a guess that it isn't only me.

Oh well

Ceenda, that hair of yours is good indeed! How did you do it?

Shane Caudle · Posted: Thu Nov 23, 2000 12:39 am

This is a painting of Angelina Jolie I did in Painter a while back, I think she is sexy, and very womanly. And without armor, lol ;0

Whoa......

All hail Shane! Painter of things that don't suck!

*bows*

BTW Shane, do you remember an Epic game called Solar Winds?

That's an old one. I remember in the demo, when you finished they had this thing asking for people to send in resume's or something like that.

I think they were just starting back then. I'm not certain though.

BigWings, Skyraider: Thanks, there aren't any real techniques that I know of for doing hair, you just have to take time over it. The hair was done using a paintbrush in Photoshop set to variable opacity.
