...I'm assuming that by such a high, random number, it's supposed to be the far-future.

EDIT: By the way, very cool topic.

**zeitgeist** · September 17th, 2007, 12:03 PM

critiques always welcome

**mediaslave** · September 17th, 2007, 08:39 PM

While its wildly popular to stick girls in whatever skimpy clothing that shows off thier tits best, think a little more realistically when you draw. Its the arctic. Who runs around ina tanktop and panties?

Nobody, for more then 2 minutes anyways. Then they're dead.

Proportions are way off ont he bottom one too, and her shoulder is dislocated.

being a Winter princess... its plausible that she can withstand the cold in just her knickers

I think it all depends on the character you develop. i agree about the proportions however. ACRO, check this site out.. if you don't already know about it... helps me out all the time.

**trevor** · September 17th, 2007, 10:22 PM

just a word about pose maniacs
i love it
its good ref for weird angles
but it is NOT 100% anatomically correct
be sure you know that and dont use it as a bible
a map of the muscle system over a 3d model
will not move like real muscles and its only as good as the model itself
which is good
but not perfect
meantime
here is the WIP for me

Restarted with a better sketch.

**prepsage** · September 18th, 2007, 02:56 AM

likely won't get close to finishing, but here is an idea.

**Aly Fell** · September 18th, 2007, 03:43 AM

A few rough doodles. Don't know which I'm going with yet, if any... One day I'll stop drawing girls with swords, but I guess that time isn't here yet...

Tonal update. Very quick... she's going to be a bit 'steampunky' I think. The lamp's a bit squiffy right now, but I'll sort it aht... geezer!

Final for now. I really want to work on it some more, particularly details like the gun, her face, clothes, the light... in fact it all really..! But for now it'll have to do. I'll update it if I get a moment...

No amount of time could diminish the hate. She'd waited almost ten years for this moment, and as someone had once said... 'revenge is a dish best served cold'. How ironic, she thought. And I, a Winter Princess was here to serve it... She felt the comforting weight of the gun in her hand and entered the tent...

**Daray** · September 18th, 2007, 05:55 AM

Yay for the avenging Winter princess, seems all I draw with my girls and swords is in the snow and Ice! Boo for the sci-fi element... I'm incredibly shit at that
