On an unrelated note, here is another portrait - same artist, very different character of mine.

Portrait

The focus was upon her eyes and expression, with the former being most vivid I think.

[Specter189]

That's a female?

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

That she is, @Specter189. Difficult to note between the presence of heavier armor and the reduced amount of sexual dimorphism as compared to a human.

I saw a couple Lions on a safari once, they were pretty boring compared to the Elephants

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

It depends upon the time of day, as a pride is most active during dusk or night and while on the hunt. If they have just recently ate and or if the sun is about and high, they're perfectly content to lounge about and nap. Felines of any shape and size are renowned for their ability to sleep.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

Thats gorgeous, Fero! Good lord, those eyes! <3

And guh! I'm a nut for elephants (favourite animal, no contest) but I love watching the big cats <3

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Her eyes are one of the features I wanted to be emphasized, @Carantathraiel! I am pleased to know you think they are.

[Carantathraiel]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity It worked out wonderfully!

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

I feel it is also worthy of note that there's still a surprising lack of armored female warriors. I suppose the chainmail bikini look is still in for one reason or another.

[Carantathraiel]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity Fan service, I imagine.
I draw skimpy girls alot because i like the curves, admittedly, hahaha

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

I admit I already knew that answer, @Carantathraiel, but even in spite of the criticism about it, there's still ample amounts. It is one thing to draw curvaceous women who show off, but it is another that even in more "practical settings" it is oft over done. She needn't be armored like a tank, but chain, scale and especially plate all had uses!

That and it would be unwise to mix these two elements together - the wrong impression with this character.

[Carantathraiel]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity You're right. All the same, it will never change
Not that I have a real issue with it.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

There's tasteful, wise use of it, and then there's fan service as you said, which the greater majority would fall into I think it.

[Carantathraiel]

I think so, yes.
though I once drew a character in the lingerie version of her husbands war armor
that was fun, hahahaha

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Exotic, that much is certain.

[Carantathraiel]

oh, it was nice XD

Its been so rainy lately, I love it. Got a thunderstorm when we left the theatre.

[Darcs]

I feel like we're due for a tornado any day now.

[Carantathraiel]

@Darcs dont bring it in here ...

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

It will be dust storm season soon enough... huzzah.

[Carantathraiel]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity that doesn't sound fun at all....
