I dunno, you're probably right. Just something about it doesn't sit well.

Anyway, great work everyone so far.

In real life, Keira is actually somewhat flat-chested. Sometimes it's hard to tell because retouching does happen... but usually to make her seem more busty than she really is! Here's an interesting article about posters for 'King Arthur' were digitally enhanced expressly for the US market to make her seem more endowed (folks at home in the U.K. are fine with her natural looks.)

UK ad on the left, US ad on the right,
Looks like her lips might have been endowed too!

Okay, so this is so off topic. :oops:

I AM working on my drawing jam pic, too!

Wow, nice reference pics! Already at page 2 as well. Nice work everyone. I'll try to do one right now.

Walwrus, very interesting comparison, although I'm not that suprised.

As always, I have no apparent ability to capture likeness. But it was a fun photo reference
for a drawing at any rate! Perhaps I'll try one of the others as well.

i dont really like mine, i think alot was lost in translation, coulda done more with the hair, bad inking, the list goes on, but i decided that is was done so i would stop tinkering with it, also i ran out of lines to play with above her hands

anyway, enough of me griping

i like the legs and hands though

mine kinda looks like I used the picture, sorta, as a starting place.

Great article! The other photos on the thread are pretty, but I couldn't resist Wacoming a coupla riffs on that poster:

Well, good, glad the article and those shots were useful to someone! :lol:

Nice pics, too. The second one has a sort of Elektra vibe to it, with the red coloring and the dark hair. I really like the inkwork on the top one!

Great work all.

Sirspamdalot- Top stuff. Hilarious using lens flare for the Hollywood version.

Here's mine. Not really going for likeness, more the mood.

Hey Sirspamdalot it doesn't matter if she's flat, or has boobs big enough to be personal floatation devices, the arrow is still resting on the wrong side of the bow. :wink:

Oops!

Aaaah...now those are inspiring photos...I'm definitely doing something this month.
Sir Spamsdalot, those two are amazing!!

by **ocngrl** » Thu Sep 14, 2006 9:59 am

Here's my take. I concentrated more on the fabric than the likeness. :lol:
