I don't know, the ability to move quickly due to the lack of said armor may play into her favor.

This is true!

Is it fighting dog from Dragon Age?

Similar. XD I had Rurik (her dog) as a character before I played Dragon Age, but I'd be lying if I said DA didn't influence my perception of him. Overall, he's still quite a bit smaller and more pitty, less mastiffy, than the DA dog.

Beautiful anatomy @.@ and I love the dogs <3
And it could be worse too! I had one request for a girl wearing a diamond bikini for armor (lots and lots of diamonds with a thong back on the bottom, very defensive really) XD

Oh, snap! XD Seriously, all you'd have to do is trip and fall to be out of the fight with that sort of armor.

At least maybe the sparkles would help distract an enemy with a short attention span? :3

*laughs* "OH GOD she's standing in direct sunlight!! SHIELD THINE EYES!!"
((And thus the advent of early failed eye laser surgery))

I kept imagining these pin point sunburns of focused light on her um... more sensitive bits myself XD

Your not helping with my Xena/Otter fantasy now, are you....

*falls into madness* (actually, its more like a quick trip)

pfft she can fight that dragon naked if I'm there, my gats will tear its hide inside out

Well, that's not very sporting. D:

wat? I play by my rules >:3

*pulls out a rocket launcher* hey dragon, I got something you can chew on *grins and laughs* >:D

I'm impressed at how detailed your line-work is, Nylak! You're one of the few artists that can do both furries and humans very well. Kaeden's garb is well done, it looks very suitably medieval-esque. I do like the design of the dagger. Most of all though the face looks natural and like a real human face. It's awesome you could get the proportions right and has it turn out well.

I also really like the poses for the dog and the dragon. Both of them are very dynamic. You do both of their paws and claws well, and you did a good job showing them in motion without making them seem unbalanced. Another thing I'm impressed with is the detail you put into their bodies and their faces, the dog's snarl looks very good and the dragon's horns are well-done, not to mention the maw shot is very nice.

Thanks again for sharing your work, Nylak! I really hope CS4 works out for you. Good luck with the commissions! ^^

Looking forward to seeing how you color and and render this out!
