Tetsuko - Big bicep commission by DavidCMatthews on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

A repost from the gallery at Tetsuko's website.

This was drawn in 2005, commissioned by a client who was, for a while, pretty much a regular. This client was very fond (and I don't blame him!) of extremely large biceps and extremely large breasts. Hmm... wonder what made him think that I could draw women like that?

I'm very pleased with the way the sweat turned out. I'm learning the hard way that water and sweat are very tricky to render; too little transparency and it can look too much like milk (or "other bodily fluids" ) On the other hand, I think the profile makes her look too much like she has an overbite. (I only noticed this a few days after I'd mailed the print to the client; rats. And since it's my policy not to alter or "correct" a commission work once it's been delivered, I haven't fixed it.)

Oh, and the dumbbells? Just something light she can get pumped up with...
