Teeheehee... that's a very good friend's wife. I did it for him for his birthday. I was really happy that I could "do" a female -- the smooth musculature was so different. The hair ended up being a lot of fun.

I hate drawing hair. It usually ends up looking like a solid and very controlled mass. Yours looked good.

I don't know, Tom. They were good, but they seemed a little gay to me...

Some of the best art in the history of civilization has been gay art -- or at least by gay artitsts! I'm flattered!

You'll appreciate the comment I just left in the US Election thread, then,
Tom.
(And yeah - they were good. Good work!)

Tom, That is damn fine art work. I envy you prowess(as an artist)...i have little to no skills...ok, I can dabble in the inking...but other than that...not so much.
I think my favorite would have to be the guy in the cowboy hat. You seem to have captured a little more emotion in that one as well a distinct physicality.
again lovely work.
Don

Thanks, Don. Can I tell you that that's my LEAST favorite, but seems to get me the most attention of any that I've posted? That particular piece I did while house-sitting for some friends and the lighting was VERY bad (my studio at home has GREAT light), and I've always felt the work suffered for it. To me, it looks very flat and lifeless. No issues with anyone else liking it, but it never worked for me. I wanted the whites to be MUCH whiter to really "pop," but they just don't... ah, well...

chiaroscuro. I take it you like muscle? Hee hee hee.
