Heroism is its own reward... (WIP)

But a massage after a day saving the world is nice!

This is very very WIP >.< but I was really happy how its come out so far. Its the first piece of art I've done in a good month where I felt like going as far as color with it. Honestly its been hard to motivate myself to pick up the pencils lately, but I made myself do it earlier and well... I'm pretty happy how its coming out.

I made some obvious mistakes of course; but for once, I'm not beating myself up for them. >.< I keep telling myself "I'm learning - you are not an expert by any stretch, thus its OK to make mistakes if you learn from them" - so thats what I'm doing.

I'm also trying out some stylistic variations here and there, just goofing around in some aspects. Like the lips for instance, I wanted to give them a bit more body than I usually do, who knows if it'll amount to anything, but at least for this picture its working out.

Still need to add shades, some highlighting, clean up some of the dirty spots (stupid pencil dust <-.->; I get too enthusiastic when drawing I think!)

The big problem I see is Remn. I hid too much of his face <_ _> and he's a bit too small given he's 6'3". Now admittedly - she's sitting in his lap while he rubs her shoulders, but still, 4'11" catgirl should be a bit smaller looking even in that circumstance I'd think. Plus he should be a bit broader in the shoulders and *perhaps* a bit more muscular. (He's not supposed to be uber-ripped or anything, but right now he's reminding me a bit of Shinji Ikari. Much as I liked that kid *the only one who did* it just doesn't suit Remn)

>.> Well anyways, hope you like it! Comments, critiques, death threats welcome <,< Well ok not death threats <;_;> Don't kill me I'm just a loser artist! <T,T>

4'11" woman sitting on the lap of a 6'3" guy...

Darn it... thoughts just jumped into the gutter.

I like the picture.

Glad you like it <^,^> hopefully when its finished it'll be much improved from its current state; but I was so pleased how it was going and its been so long since I had my rump in gear >.<;; I figured "oh... wth why not!"

Bit of an update on this:

Shading has begun in earnest!

Remn still needs shades, and I need to figure the background out. Then more touch ups and possibly further highlighting >.< so far so good!

Didn't wanna put it on Deviant though just to show an update; figured photo bucket would do well for that!
