Random art

Here's a very recent piece of art, and it's part of something I may actually finish.

This is, however, another example of letting story length spiral out of control. If I do finish it, I've got hundreds of hours of work ahead of me.

The premise is that two women make eye contact in a bar, each realizes the other wants to fight her, and they go at it right there in the bar.

One thing I did differently for this was to use photo references for faces. I'm not tracing, but I am using photos to get more accurate portrayal of shading, highlights, and overall proportions.

I think it made a big difference. You can tell which faces were done with reference photos and which weren't.

  1. Sweet merciful Zod that's GORGEOUS! And there's absolutely nothing wrong with photo references. To say otherwise is to claim all artists have to draw stuff strictly from memory!

    And as I've offered before, if you need an editor to help keep things brief, my services are at your disposal.

  2. Please please please tell me you will show us the rest of this when you finish it.

  3. As a women, I think this premise is very exciting. What I'd like to know are your thoughts on how they would fight: would iy be your more familiar fist fighting, or it would be more of a catfight, hairpulling battle. Also, please take of yourself: if the posts slide a bit, I'm sure no one would care. It's important to be healthy most of all. And when you feel better, keep up the fantastic drawings!!!
