My entry to Guennol Lioness Art Contest by Ritualist https://www.deviantart.com/ritualis.....test-899435938

I've been reading a lot of Conan comics, so I wanted to do some sort of bronze age bikini warrior. Woman behind a myth? A priestess? Who knows :D

I'm quite happy with the anatomy and lighting. I used Grafit Studio photo packs as reference for the face and lower body, definitely recommend those. My values could use a lot of work, the shaded parts of the body meld together with her lion pelt cloak. Generally the readability turned out really bad, you can barely spot her face on the thumbnail. Also wouldn't hurt to spend more time with design. Just wearing the pelt and the bikini is kinda boring to me. What I like is the painterly look. I think that is what I've struggled with, still things to improve on but much better than in my previous digital works. Need to do more custom brushes. :D

A lot to improve on, a lot of things I'm really happy with. More studying and practice... possibly with physical paints.
