Description
A detailed portrait work may be found here: [link]A woman of Zerran, who was travelling through a scorching desert in her kingdom, is sweltering in her garbs by the time she finds shelter under the ruins of a nearby temple and begins slipping off what she can no longer tolerate; hoping she’ll go unnoticed and let her perspiring skin breathe some, and maybe catch a wandering breeze to cool down with.
This is one of those works that I didn’t intend to put a lot of effort with, until I was further along and began seeing something hopeful. Originally supposed to only take a day, I decided to add a few more days on top of that and am pretty happy with the end result. And as the description says, she’s a woman of Zerran descent; a kingdom far from the troubles of other realms, and is well noted for having the largest desert lands in the world of Aikurisu.

Thanks, Julia! Always a pleasure when my art manages to inspire too.
Still... the background story in this one could use a little more detail.

I love how you take the time to add little beauty marks on the skin. It makes it seem so realistic.

I really like her sleeve and the folds of the fabric falling off from her hip. Those two things really caught my attention the most

Coolness. Must admit I was really happy with the sleeves once I finished.

I have to say that I am impressed my friend. Your art is improving more and more every time you post.

Are you going to play Star Wars: The Force Unleashed? They're releasing it on ALL platforms.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Possibly. lol, first I want to be able to play SC4 though. Might just get myself a PS3 soon... now that the newer 80Gb one has arrived.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haven't played SC4 yet...been busy playing Call of Duty 4, Star Wars: Battlefronts 2 and Star Wars: Empire at War.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Got the last two on your list. Never really get bored of playing Battlefront II, (lol, you should see my player stats... XD) and I'm anxiously waiting for the third installment, which so far sounds like it won't fail to impress. Empire at War though... that game gets tiring fast. Great, but has no real replay potential. Had some fun with a Battlestar Galactica Mod with it, but ever since the official FoC Expansion, the game just felt like a sellout without heart to me.

My brother is playing FoC right now so I have to wait and get it back...never finished it. He did download a update for it from Lucas Arts and it changed a lot of stuff with the Empire making them a little weaker. However it seriously jacked up the pirates power.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, as if they needed anymore power than what they had already. They were cheap... so beating them as the rebels made things even more rewarding, because you knew you were fighting as the underdogs between the three.

I'll have to wait until my brother finishes with it which will probably be a while because his 360 has contracted the red ring of death.

Your knowledge of anatomy amazes me 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks, Stacey!
And yes, when it calls for it, I study human anatomy with a 3D imaging program that enables me to look at any angle I want, including being able to bend limbs and such. A bit like having one of those wooden art doll things... only better... lol. Just very basic nude models. Good for people that don't have anyone to pose for them in real life. *shakes fist at his remote rural lifestyle* XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow that sounds really handy. What is the program called? It'd be useful for me since I only got myself to model for me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, there's several programs to choose from, but the only one I bother to keep installed is: [link]
lol, and you know it's sad when you're a bloke and look to your long hair sometimes as reference for learning how it flows; almmost like one of those shampoo commercials for chicks.
...
I need a woman, damn it. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooh that looks handy
You're a guy?! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, that would only be the second time I've been mistaken for a woman... that I know of, anyway. XD
But yeah, I should probably seek out creating a new ava. Still, I draw better women then men.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, that makes me feel dumb then
You could find an avatar that is gender-neutral... like a gerbil!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But... I don't want people thinking that I'm out for world domination and such. I prefer to keep those sort of ambitions in secret.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay maybe a gerbil was a bad idea
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aye. I should go for something more neutral... like... a pretty flower! No, wait... those are in for world domination more than the gerbils are... *strokes chin*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wouldn't say a flower is neutral 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe.
lol, well, since we started talking about this, I've been trying to design a new ava. Trouble is that I've created quite a few now and don't know which to select. Days like these when I wish I still had a subscription to make a poll. >_>;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe you can make one that alternates between all of them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah... normally those tend to look rather tacky to me, so I'd rather keep with something unmoving. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well.... then change them every day?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That would be kinda tedious for me... and besides, how would people remember my ava?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good point. Then I guess you're stuck!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha! You think something like this can stop me! Well... maybe... but I'm not agreeing to anything blindly!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'm out of compliments, lol! Very beautiful. Her skin color, eyes, and lips stuck out... very nice.
