Drawing 12 - Susan Sto Helit

[tealin]

Busy day. Time for another commission! We've had some Potter and there's more on the way so here is my one and only Discworld:




Somehow I was better at drapery then than now. Go fig. Dunno what that background was all about.

Haha, the background reminds me of those odd tiedye-ish backgrounds they use for school photos.

*brain overload* AGG! Susan was always my favourite and I love how you draw her! :DDDD Joy of joys!

Auuugh Tealin this is wonderful! Recently I have been wallowing in a huge rut as college maliciously and systematically devours my life, and have discovered that my personal artistic anathema is a persistent lack of personality/character/style. Happily, your art is plagued by none of these problems, which is why I utterly, utterly adore it. You can't see them, but my hands (in the infrequent and intermittent moments that they are not typing) are making these aborted grabby motions at the screen, as if they could extract Susan's strength of purpose and fierceness (there are some strange connotations to this word now, I think), distill it into some sort of L'Essence du Bent Poker, and apply it liberally to my own studying habits during this week of midterms exams.

(I know I have been a terrible commenter, but I read religiously and enjoy and savor your posts every time! !!)

Fantastic work! My only regret when I cosplayed Susan was I couldn't get my faux fireplace poker to bend like that. :D

Susan! With her poker! Chasing off a boogie man, if I remember correctly. I love that her hair is trying to go to ground state.

[hobbitnat.livejournal.com]

ah really! see i'm out of the twist, i should really read these things so i'm not making silly comments like the one i just did haha

Open stance, low hands, closed shoulders. I'm guessing you could get her out with a curveball low and outside.

LOL! Sorry to butt in, but that was genius my friend XD

Dang, that's a great pose! I've never read the books, but I wanna know who she's hitting and why she's so pissed off!

This is from the beginning of Hogfather so if you're curious, that's where to start ... (It might put you in a Christmassy mood though)

WIN.

Have I recently proclaimed my undying love for you? If not then I do so now!

I love this, the expression, the pose, the movement it's all bill.

Only critic is that her cheeks are flushed but no birthmark? Meh, I still love it :D

I like how it looks like she is pulling the poker from her own head.
