Vulnerability


Sorry about the delay. This was a bit rushed, but I'm surprisingly happy with it. This was clearly the hardest challenge so far, and I don't know if a closeup of an *armpit* is valid enough, but I really couldn't come up with anything better since I decided to not do feet-fetish stuff. ^^

I was going to crop the pic closer around the actual target, but it was so small already that it looks better like this.

Verry nice! The armpit looks like it should, although it, and some other parts of the body, could do with some more detail (or shading), to compensate for the picture's rather uncomplicated composition.

Other than that, you seem to have captured the sturcture of the body very well, except possibly the left shoulder and its collabone, since the left collarbone seems to as lifted as the right, but there's no arm to do the same - but I might be out biking here...

Hm, you're right, I made a mistake with the right collarbone, didn't think about that.

The pic is rather small in reality so shadows were difficult to fit, so I'm thinking about making a bigger one and shade that more. I kind of threw this together but ended up really liking it =P

And there's no manly armpit hair! <8O

Haha, one of my American friends thought it was a girl, and commented on that "she" had a too small chest <:D

I squirted Red Bull out my nose. It was the hoop earring, I believe.

The androgynety was by all means on purpose, since I decided to give him Asian features, and we all know they look like little girls compared to the allmighty Americans ^_-
I tried the armpit hair but would have needed a thinner pencil.

As for how your American fried excused the six-pack, I will leave it up to him/her.

I love it! I would gladly have this on my wall. =D

My critic would look very much the same as Nef's so I just won't give you any =P

Oh, and I'm sorry for the delay. But with no scanner there can't be no picture... I'll post it tomorrow when I'm home again.

Finally! I was beginning to consider just posting my challenge without waiting for you, Madde... >:/

Yeonni said...

Hm, as a matter of fact you could post the challenge, if Mad thinks it's okay, because she already finished the picture anyway. Blog won't look as pretty, but whatevs.
