New art: Ginny

May 12, 2005 19:47

God damn I'm bored. Feel like watching a film or something... hmm, might rent one out. Recently went to see Kingdom of Heaven (any Brit's reading - is it just me or did you get the advert 'Kingdom of Leather' stuck in your head when seeing the title? Heh) and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galazy. Loved both, though I haven't read HGttG so I can't ( Read more... )

I imagine Ginny as a bit of a tomboy too. :) Her pose (ha, I typed posse) really conveys confidence, I think. Did you use a photo reference or anything, or do you just draw from the imagination? Because her stance seems quite natural and believable. Good job!

ps I want her pants.

Ta! Yes, I used a photo reference. Though it was of a stick thin model, so I altered it to be a little less... anorexic. :P

Yes - I'm pleased with the pants, too. Damn freckles didn't show up though. *grumbles*

Hey, just found you through the eighth degree of friendship... bennmorland July 21 2005, 06:44:22 UTC

...but this picture is my favorite of yours thus far. I hadn't quite imagined her as a tomboy, just a rather sassy girl; but your rendition of her fits more snugly than my own impression. So much so, that since leaving the computer to continue HPatH-BP, her voice and mannerisms (the ones Rowling does not show us) changed in my head. I thought I'd share that with you.

Oh, and the reason why I chose this particular comment to "reply" to is because I wanted to say that your drawing is not at all over- or underweight. It's just perfect.

Thanks so much! :D And thanks for sharing your HBP experience - that is quite a compliment, that it alters your view of Ginny. Again, I'm very flattered - thank you!

And I'm glad she's not over or, in particular, underweight. It's so tempting sometimes to give them spectacularly perfect bodies, because it's brilliant to look at afterwards, but here I wanted Ginny to look natural. :)

Hey, you deserve it all!

And I have to admit, I prefer natural-looking art than I do the outrageously proportioned ones.

Hell, I get more turned on by Renaissance solo nudes than I do by hentai coitus.

lovely- how I pictured her :)

Thanks. :) Minus freckles because of the evil scanner, though.

elanor_sarah May 12 2005, 20:16:55 UTC

I did account for that :)
