Looks more like just an odd angle of the pubic area.

She looks wonderful, Gil.

And I hear you about hands and feet. While I probably don't have half the talent that you do (although I have more of a manga style), hands and feet are almost impossible, so I usually don't even try and just give them claws and boots.

Nope, that's not a bulge, but perspective, but I see what you mean.

Well, I can draw hands... but it's more of a struggle if I don't want them to be beefy man-hands which just so happen to be the size and shape of my own. Occasionally, I can borrow a limb of a female friend whose got a spare few minutes, but occasionally it ends up like this where the characters inexplicably are wearing socks.

Well, for someone with such beefy man hands, you sure can draw some cute things.

Wow. Freakin' awesome.

Most impressive.

As for drawing hands, my sister has this nifty lifesize wooden hand model. I suppose something like that would come in useful?

Wow.

That's some bombshell evil bitch.

Oh wow, Gil, that's amazing. (I thought that bulge was a bit od as well)

Not that I think the hands are a porblem, but if you're not happy, why do't you put opera gloves on her?

Well, I have a female model hand... but like Thing on the Addams family, it's wandered off somewhere (I suspect that it's still packed in boxes). I also have used the program Poser 4 in the past, which makes hand-drawing much easier... but unfortunately thats on the old computer.



Anyways, I toned down her cootch a bit.

Das Update:

OK, I decided to say the hell with it and use the digital camera shot as the base for the final drawing, rather than scan it.

Things of interest:
--I decided to use a coloring technique that I've never tried on any scale before, which is make base layers of color and stacking multiple translucent layers of tone on top of it to produce a shaded effect.
--I tried it and decided that I didn't like bright red skin. Pearly white skin is far more sexy and demoness-like, in my opinion.
--Right now, if you can't tell, I've got her right arm down to her wrist, neck, head and hair (excluding hair clip) done-ish. No eye or eyebrow yet because they were looking cartoon-y. Her hair color can very easily be changed, but right now she's got Asuka-Hair and is also pretty plastic, whick I will fix.
--The Horn right now is a pale pink. Why? Because I was of two minds with it. I kind of liked the idea of a red horn, which would stand out, but I also realized that the horn would be bone, and couldn't come up with a reason for it not to be bone-white. Likely to change, but right now a testiment to my indecisiveness.
--The final product will not have those solid blank contour lines, but rather very soft tonal areas that look like shading but help the brain wrap around the idea that there is barrier there. Look at the area between her arm and her breast for a good example of this. In the end, it will look more natural.
