And here I was thinking you might not like him because he ended up more on the "athletic" side of the scale {though still distinctly larger than the "Bruce Lee" type}.
As far as the coloring goes, you'll have to get back to me on that after I finished coloring the other one sweatdrop
On an unrelated note, I almost feel like I'm drawing child porn with Mitri gonk

Here's Mitri. Such a stark contrast from Flame rofl I think I might have made him a bit too scrawny and I don't like either of the arms, but the face and hair I like a lot.
On to Xan.

Yes yes, I realize he's 18, but he looks younger... {probably more around 16 in that drawing}, but I guess that works since Mitri the character looks younger than he is rofl

Sorry to break it to you, Xan, but I'm afraid you caught me at the tail end of my drawing streak to where I no longer cared about it coming out looking decent. It didn't help that the "lithe" and "well-endowed" descriptors were at odds with each other. I could have more easily drawn you flat chested or with an A-cup if you wanted lithe, or more "full bodied" like Icy and Kai if you wanted "well endowed".
Anyhow, here it is. I am not reopening slots this time since I'm not really in the mood for more sketches at the moment. I do intend to start coloring Icy's, though... and maybe Kai's.
Next time slots open, I will have a new "catch", so be sure to reread the first post when that time comes.

Icy inkedNot really sure if I like those lashes. Flat colors are next which shouldn't take too long, and then shading.

The make-up should look better once I add shading and blend it into the skin better. Not sure if I'm going to leave the nails that color.

ThisEmptySoul Does this mean more dancing? Flat color xd With the mistletoe pictures, inking and putting down the flat colors were the most time consuming parts... or at least the parts that felt like they took the longest because I didn't like doing them. Not sure if the shading will get done quickly if I go about doing it the way I shaded the last Icy picture, though.

YES!!! xd MORE DANCING!!! rofl rofl rofl You know as well as I do that I'm patient when it comes to art, and the shading of the last pic was amazing, so it's up to you whether or not you go that way, AND LEAVE THE NAILS ALONE! mad I love them! whee

Well, my intention is to shade it like the last one since I should get in more practice of that kind of work. I figured the fact that I had just colored you recently would make the shading go much quicker since the methods used are still fresh in memory and I can just sample colors from the previous picture instead of having to find new colors. However, after two attempts to start shading on the face, I have now realized that I can't just use the colors from the other image because they don't suit the "mood" of this image.
The previous one was more "dark and mysterious" whereas this one is more.... well... I don't really know what words would most suit it, but certainly not dark and mysterious in any case.
While Icy's personality is certainly in the "dark and mysterious" category, I don't think jamming out to music with wine exactly comes off as a dark and mysterious time for her. So I need to figure out what colors would be most appropriate for the mood now and the right amount of contrast. Once I get those down, everything else should start falling into place.

Yes, in spite of her dark and mysterious personality, this is one of her rare calm and serene moments. wink There is one thing that I wanted to point out. One of the best parts of the sketched/inked versions, outside of her hips, was her lips. I noticed in the flat version that the shape and contour of her lips have changed. Once you've done the shading, will they return to their original shape or was that the intended shape you were after?

I hadn't really noticed, so it was definitely unintended. I honestly just did a really quick job on putting the flat color on the lips just to show that they would in fact be colored in the end piece. With the previous one, I had added the makeup in the "touch up" stage. A lot of the shading was done on the skin layer itself, then just added colored spots over the eyes and lips and messed with the blending options until I found something suitable.
But it's interesting that you mentioned the lips because just yesterday when I made another attempt at shading, I had noticed that the nose and lips weren't properly alined. It looks fine without them alined in the drawing, but once I started adding the subtle shadows above the lip, it looked really off. I moved them over to the side so that they're better alined, but I don't know if I'll keep them there. The shading on the face altogether just seems really off right now and I'm not sure if it's the shading itself or the fact that the rest of the image is still flat.
