For those familliar with the Blindmonks, this was draw by BOM. It's a third person's character, but I don't remember who.

I gave it some colors.

Questions, comments, tips(both kinds) are welcome.

The coloring looks pretty nice. The only things I don't really like is the darkness and lack of any detail on the stem of the rose and I think the color of the rose should be alot redder, but other than that it looks good. My only other comments are on the drawing but since you didn't draw it, I won't mention that the breasts look really weird (they aren't connected to the body correctly), and that she's awfully thin (front to back not side to side). Ooops, I guess I mentioned it.

Umm does she have a bulge ?

Great picture..
Still i think that the face has not enough dimension (i don't mean the colors) and the breasts doesn't ehh.. "fit" in her..

Whip me in the back if i'm wrong

Wow, I've never recieved that many responces so quick. (Even if they were mostly about the pencils.)

I kept the rose pale, because it is part of the sail, and in the background. It shouldn't be too vibrant. I had thoughts of trying to paint the lineart to further mesh the rose into the sail. But it didn't look right.

The stem is black, for one reason. He penciled it in, and to clean it up and color it as I would like would involve more effort then I would like to put into it right now.

The bulge. Well, it is a low shot. And last time I checked, women aren't perfectly flat there.

Issues in the drawing for those who like to dwell on it.

The face is flat, and there is very little brow. The neck is too large. The breasts are balled up. The shoulders are too wide. The sword dissappears.

Wow! Incredibly cool, has an especially rare sense of depth and good character design. The sail could use some work to make the emblem stand out less, but I don't really care much anyway cause the main pic is so cool!

I edited the sail.

looks pretty good, the head is REALLY buggin me though. unless theres something lighting the bottom of her head, under her chin should be darker. it will probably had better depth to her noggin as well.

I doubt anyone will read this. Since very few really care about my stuff.

Anyway, I thought I'd show Darrin Moore's kickass, rendering of it.

Chicks with a Dick .. arrkk... Ok i can see the second one you worked a little harder on Her Crotch hah

nightmare · Posted: Wed Feb 07, 2001 8:32 pm

her boobs look kinda weird i think cuz they're sticking straight out pretty much, and its like a big cylinder on her chest.

it's all a conspiracy!

Ok, let me restate that. The second one is by DARRIN MOORE. Not me. He just worked on the same pencils, and I'd thought I'd show it.
