Kuvira

thank you! It's always an interesting thing to make the character look athletic, but still feminine. So I went for something like martial artist/boxer look. It's quite cool to make the muscles work and interact like they are supposed to (in terms of flexing, stretching etc). And I think having the hands on the hair, brings out the feminine/sexy side of a character that is usually clad in armor with a more agressive look. Plus, it's always fun to make characters sweaty =D

Woah, I dare say she looks more ripped then Korra… And you’ve perfectly captured the sharp lines of her face.

Oh very nice! I really like the colours here, the white bandages, greyish vest and green pants and eyes all contrast really nicely with the warm tones of the background and character. The rendering on Kuvira and her clothes looks terrific too, I really like the textures of her bandages which have a painterly, dirty look to them. Similarly, her vest is really nicely done too and the warm-toned stains go well with it's cool colour. The detailed seams that run along its edges, along with the folds all look terrific, I especially like the folds, with their shadows cutting through the lighter-toned material and giving that rippling effect, while the actual texture of the material is great too. I love her pants as well, the lighting here is quite striking with a great contrast between the lightest and darkest tones. The belt area is so good with it's rippling folds and material interweaving and interlocking with itself and I just adore the rough, painterly texture of the material. My favourite part is at her right hip, where the shadows sweep and curve into the brighter tones, cutting in and defining those folds. The actual pants are so good too, again with beautifully rendered folds and great use of lighting to define the overall shapes. The actual blending of light and dark looks so smooth too while also having some gorgeous painterly brush strokes and textures, the bright edge-lighting along her left leg also pops really well against those dark shadows. It's funny but the pants are actually one of my favourite things about the whole piece 😸 Not to take away from Kuvira herself of course looks stunning! Her dark hair is beautiful and I really like the texture and insane level of detail here, made all the more impressive by how subtle the lighter tones are. All of the splitting strands across the hair are so great too and there's a nice sense of weight to it as the strands fall from her ponytail. Her overall skin tones and anatomy are just perfectly done. I am in love with her shoulders and their connections to the arms and chest, with all the overlapping plane changes here. The biceps are utterly gorgeous (I love muscular women... you can probably tell 😹), you perfectly captured the tense feeling in the muscles as they bulk and tighten and as she moves her arms and grips her hair. The hand that we see is really nicely done too and those little shine spots on the fingers do a really great job of accentuating the plane changes and their corners. What we see of her abs are beautiful too, again the textures are wonderfully smooth but with a painterly feel. I really like the lighting here, with the shadows on the upper, outer planes converging down towards the lower stomach, with shadows still running down the waist too. The edge-lighting on one side is also a great contrast to the shadow and skin tones. I won't lie... in the reward files, I'm looking forward to seeing that fully unveiled midsection 😻😻😻 The neck and collarbones are great too, you really have done a terrific job with defining muscles and anatomy that looks tensed. And what we see of her chest and breasts are really nicely done too, actually as she raises her arms, I do like the small teasing of a bit of sideboob as they lift alongside her shoulders. And lastly, her face is gorgeous as well, those green eyes with their shine spots are so striking and really stand out against the warmer skin tones. The shines on her nose and lips are eye-catching too and as always, the noses you paint are so damned cute. I also like the lighting on the cheeks, with the lines of light defining their corners. Excellent work on this painting! Your Kuvira looks beautiful, sexy and oh my goodness, I can't get over those arms 😻😻😻😻😻 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
