@Adarias: Aahh, very nice. It has some old school appeal. Some issues though. It looks as if realism was attempted in the sketch. If so, either the body is too small, or the thigh/legs are too long. For me, the breasts/pecs are sagged a wee bit low. In fact, it looks sort of feminine to me. Not to mention his left hand seems a bit tiny. I'm no anatomy expert, but if this is a male, than there is still work to be done. If female, there is little, but I still wouldn't call it done.
yeah, there are definately some things i need to redraw in the sketch, particularly that right leg that got stretched. I accidentally moved his waist up which lengthened the thigh and shortened the torso, and then i drew a shin to match the thigh and it all went way south. thatnks for calling my attention to that. Im also going to tighten the stomach a bit and then rework the pecs.
at first glance that looks really awesome adarias, but staring at it for a bit i noticed some things that b.o.b didnt mention. his right ankle looks twisted, a little too much to be for stylistic or aesthetic reasons imo. the neck doesnt fit in with the size of his chest, i think its a bit too thick. the tricep, underarm, lat area looks very convoluted( i have lots of problems with that area too, but youre better than me so you dont have an excuse Tongue)
edit: oh wow, just read that hes supposed to be hercules. i think he needs some definite beefing up to fit the title.
i've actually straightened the ankels out considerably from when i was drawing myself in the mirror. I will figure out something about the neck though. Could you perhaps be a little more specific about the underarm region? if you jsut mean that it isn't defined, remember this is only a sketch for positioning that is going to be covered by thick paint.
as far as the hercules thing, remember that when fighting the nemean lion, he is only a half-starved adolescent "hero." He "slays" the lion when it
chokes on his arm, which it inteded to eat. He will get some more meat on his bones though, but don't expect one of your musclemen.
