I'd wear cloaks if they be stylin'

I set aside Namesake a bit for an evening to work on a few pending things (apologies to all those involved). The first of these being this Slayers group picture! I really like how it turned out!

I also tried to draw some ladies in corsets but failed. I really can't draw sexy things. Even when I try it winds up as "cute". torreadora  and skybison  are awesome at drawing sexy things. Did you guys find a tutorial on the sexy? Or are you just blessed with the power of sex appeal? I seem to have gotten the power to draw really cohesive groups. Is it better then the power of sexy? I do not know. It probably sells less. *laughs*

Awesome thing of the day : MODCLOTH. It's a neat little website where you can buy vintage clothing. I found that a while ago after ranting that I longed for stuff styled in the 50's. It's actually not that expensive (50$ per dress is the average, which is decent considering the crap you can get for 50$ in other clothing stores) and all the dresses and shirts have a really nice retro feel. I just got myself two dresses, you know, as a pat on the back for doing a good job at work. Good, Isa, good.

Watching Pocahontas and the Lion King while drawing. Anybody else finds Pocahontas has a bit of a childish dialogue in the first part of the film? It feels like it's been written for a younger character. Weird.

Hahahah! I'm so amused by what your saying. You are one of the Deviant artist I adored so when you actually replied to my messages I was completely amazed you deemed me worthy! *laughs* So hearing that you envy my style is like... the most awesome thing ever! And the most awesome thing is carrying cookies! Yay!

Cute and sexy can be together... I did ask my boyfriend about it and he said I drew my characters too "androgynous", not body-wise, but pose-wise, and that sexy was all about flaunting the characteristics of a specific gender. Curves for girls, stability for males, etc. Would you say that's true? I wonder. Maybe I concentrate too much on the flow of the movement and not enough on the body langage.

No, I think your boyfriend's got a very good point, and that's very observant of him. Definitely, sexy is all in the presentation, in the attitude. Think about what you personally think is sexy, what characteristics and traits, and then sort of exaggerate them a little.

Also: holy shit, but you are in a serious class far, far above me when it comes to art. :D I could just go on, but let's agree it's a mutual adoration?

Agreed. Mutual adoration is good XD
