Description
Struggling to get my own style, I started to run away from the old sword and sorcery cliches and my female warriors started to have armors and uniforms which actually intended to protect them instead of making them sexier. This is a very simple drawing but I'm quite happy about how it came out. I took some care making and inking it and I think it can be seen in the results. The funny thing is... I was quite proud about how her right foot (the one you can see in the picture) looked like, since drawing feet has always been difficult for me... and then one boy told me "The drawing is perfect... except for that foot!!!". Back in 1991, younger and unexperienced, that brought my world down, but fortunately, it was only for a while. The ideas he suggested to make the foot look better were no help at all...Related content

Great work Sonia. My name is Shannon. I am a teacher in Saskatchewan Canada, and my grade 4 class is doing a unit on Warriors. I am creating a Warrior Poster for them to describe their own "Warrior Traits" I'm wondering if you would grant me permission to use this image on our poster to portray the "Female Warrior"

Oh, thank you! Inking has always been the hardest part for me, but in my old works I tried a lot. Glad you like her!

This is a beautiful illustration! I love the pose and the spear and shield look awesome!

Thanks!!! It seems ages since I drew it, but I say to myself - if I was able then, I should still be able. But somehow I think I'm worse now than then...

Aw, I think you just need to keep it in practice and then you can keep the style consistent XD

Yeah, it is pretty rare to se warrioresses in armor rather than skimpy outfits... Pretty neat inking/texturing style on this!

Thank you so very much!!! It's very traditional work, I didn't have computers when I made it and I still can't get used to them. I'm very happy that you like it!!!

Pues yo no le veo ningun problema a los pies ; P
Me encanta como trabajas con el blanco y negro :3

Trabajaba, trabajaba... No sé si sería capaz de volver a hacer cosas así. Eso sí, en el blanco y negro me desenvuelvo bastante mejor que con el color. Estas cosas, en cuanto las coloreo, las cago...

Un estilo muy bonito. De hecho me recuerda a los grandes del cómic español (léase Capitán Trueno, por ejemplo, que me encantaba). Lo del pie... No veo tanto problema en el pie que está visto como en el que está tapado por el escudo. Pero vamos, los pies son lo más difícil con diferencia, qué me vas a contar.

Juas, bastante tuve con hacer un pie bien, el otro lo escondí por razones obvias... Gracias por el comentario, me honra que me compares con grandísimos como Victor Mora (espero que no sea en la edad XD). Lo gracioso es que no es de los comics que más he leído... Yo he sido siempre más de cómic francobelga, y creo que eso se refleja tambien bastante en mi estilo. El manga me pilló ya bastante curtida...
