oooohhhh....Pretty.....I like......She looks likes me! Seriously. When I had red hair. *looks at her now mouse-brown mop* I want red again.

:-) Andrew P. Morris replies: "Hey, sounds good to me. I like redheads!"

She has really good balancing skills... does she juggle? j/k A friend of mine could probably do that, he can balance a chair on his chin... it looks really weird when he does, too. 10 I wish I had a body like that... *sigh*

:-) Andrew P. Morris replies: "Thanks for commenting! A chair on his chin? Too phat! She was descibed as having that sort of attitude, you know "plays with sharp things..." "

The work on the leather is fantastic. I'm really impressed by the boots, believe it or not. Very awesome. Great shading and color on the body as well.

:-) Andrew P. Morris replies: "Hey Brian! Leather is getting to be a hobby of mine ;p I had a lot of fun working out the costume dymanics on this one."

Mva ha ha - I love her attitude !

However, the head is a wee bit too far back, you will notice that if you put a verical line trough the naval, then you will suddenly see just how far back it is. The head that is.

Great work on the Clothes, you are getting really proficient on those. You should try to draw some Japanese Silk Kimono's, they are great for additional training since there are both big and small folds, swathes of freehanging cloth not to mention both dull and shiny types of silk.

:-) Andrew P. Morris replies: "Hiya, thanks for commenting. Her attitude was what I really liked about this commission and made her a fun character to draw. I don't see the head position as a problem. Two things are happening that you need to account for. 1) Her hips are thrust forward and her shoulders back. And...
2) her head is turned to the side and tipped down. If I get a chance to practice drawing cloth I will look into it. However, time is my enemy. :-| Cheers, Andrew"

Such artistic style, very good! Her anatomy is awsome and acurate (in that kind of comic-book fashion, which is still cool) which is a hard thing to acomplish. Well done, one of my favorites!

:-) Andrew P. Morris replies: "Thank-you for commenting on my artwork! I am glad you like the style I used for rendering this character. I often do lean on the comic-book style, using the idealized proportions and forced perspective. This is also the style that Berne Hogarth used extensively. Take care, Andrew"

wow! She is a work of art. But Sheela is right. Her head is a bit too far back. I have drawn all of my PC's characters and just by looking at it, i said "is it me or is her head shifted to her right?" Oh well, i like the drawing and please make more like this

:-) Andrew P. Morris replies: "Hi Torque, thanks for posting your comments! I am glad you liked this drawing and will keep adding pics like it to my gallery as I have time. Cheers, ~A"

Her face reminds me of the secretary on the Ghostbusters movies...Jeanine, I guess her name was. Sorry, that was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this... : )

:-) Andrew P. Morris replies: "Y'know I think you are right. She does sorta look like the GB secretary... Oh well... 2"

The artist ... he's alive, ALIVE !! 1

I'd never thought I'd get a reply on a 2 year old comment, but I'm pleased none the less. What I'm talking about the head thing is that even with the hips-back-chest in an arc, the head sits a tad odd on the top of the chest .. uhmm .. I'm not very good at putting it in words, and I don't do draw-overs no other peoples pictures nuless they want me to.

-anyways-

Her attitude comlpetely makes up for it, and I'd love to go on a plunder with the little lass. 1

I bet we could slay this beastie you call "time". 14

:-) Andrew P. Morris replies: "Heh... 2 years is a while isn't it? Just goes to show that time flies when you are buried in work. 12 I am glad her attitude comes through, as far as plunderin' goes... Lock up yo sons! Take care, Andrew"

I love her outfit but mostly the way you drew it!

:-) Andrew P. Morris replies: "Hello Laura, thanks for your kind comments. I enjoyed the challenge of drawing this one a lot and working in that much black leather yet maintaining some level of detail was tough. I am happy with the way it turned out. Take care, ~Andrew"
