Description
Just a newly beefed up Dash asking for a second opinion on her gains. No overwhelming awesomeness to see here, nope.
So I get hesitant to say this about anything I draw up, but I think this turned out pretty dang good for where I’m currently at skill-wise. The pose was more intimidating than previous ones purely for the mix that it is: hands, one partially obscured but open, another closed, the head tilt and showing proper perspective on that, and the perspective on the right arm, a more straight-on view, I mean. Was worried it would turn into a messy hodgepodge, but I think it all came together and I quite like her.
Probably the most noticeable issue to me is that I think her arm muscles might need a little more curvature, particularly her right arm; it might should taper in a bit more at the bend of the arm. Would look more natural. Or maybe that’s just me nitpicking myself, I can’t tell at this point. XD
Regardless, I’m quite happy with everything else, the pose, the expression, the body shape; it was surprisingly close to what I actually imagined in my head. Far from great, but I think I’m improving a bit at a time.
Then again, maybe it’s just ‘cause it’s Dash and it’s hard not to love sketching her. And making a beefed up amazonian Dash? Well that sounds like a good time to me, and it was. Probably gonna draw her again real soon, if I’m being honest.
Hope ya enjoy!

Always a pleasure!
Ah, I think I see what you mean, gotcha. Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind for future pics. I was considering coloring in this one so if I do, I might go ahead tweak that a bit while I’m at it.
Glad you like it, man, and thanks again for the feedback! ;)
@Astrum
I think it looks pretty good, the perspective and arm bend are little different on that side, but if it were to be tweaked it would be around the elbow and forearm area, specifically having the top line of the forearm cross further past the bicep. That would help the appearance of the arm being long enough, just bent into the flex pose. the upper arm looks just right length wise. great stuff!
