Description
The inked version of my previous drawing. This was inked entirely in Adobe Illustrator (mostly with the pen tool) and with my mouse only. I utilized a technique that I had never used before to simulate pen pressure. I like the results of this method but it was very time consuming so I am hesitant to attempt it again. I do not know why I decided to do the line art in this manner; perhaps I wanted to challenge myself. In any case, I hope you enjoy and please leave me a critique or constructive feedback on anything I could do to improve both this image and my skills for the future
Aella belongs to and is from his new story Blight of the Werewolves (BotW) which is currently a work in progress.

Oh wow she's gorgeous! X33 I love muscles on males and females and I love how you did the physique! The way you inked it looks really nice too!

Thanks, hopefully I will be able to draw more stuff like this (of both males and females) as I continue studying the human musculature. I like the result of the inking of this image but the method I used took WAY too long so I don't know if I will be doing that again XD

You're welcome! Yeah inking was always my greatest problem. ^^ I use Manga studio nowadays, but I still have a lot to learn about it still~

Yeah, it can be pretty tough sometimes :/ I guess we just need to keep practicing.

Well this is fucking amazing.
(Best comment ever xD)
Well I really like her, even though I still don't like that she looks like she's on steroids xD But VERY VERY nice job on the drawing in general and inking it... Looks REAAALLY professional!

Thanks XD
Well I did increase her masculinity as part of a joke originally. If I was being serious then I would have drastically toned it down; though EK does seem to like her arms and abs but he said legs are too muscular XD I do like line art came out in the end but using the method I used for this made it take forever @.@ Anyway, EK has given me free reign to pick a whole new color scheme for her if I wish and I have a few so far but I am having trouble deciding since I don't know more about that character. Oh well, I just need to work up the motivation to actually color it XD
Again, thanks for the compliments and maybe you can join us in a join.me that I am almost certain to host as I continue to work on this

looks great, i'm still sorta sleepy from waking up, so i hope this comment isn't too bad. as before the design is really good, its not exactly what i wanted for her, but i can appreciate how well done it is. she certainly has a tribal and strong look, which is good, she just looks a little too bulky. its probably the legs, i really like the abs and arms, those can still fit with her official design. i'm going to keep the bones where they are, but moving them isn't a super big deal with the design, she may even do that. i still need to fully design her and the tribe she comes from. i certainly won't include any tail feathers, at least on aella, maybe on one of the other characters. i might add the waist fur thing, that might work. i might put it over her shorts. the axe was really well done. i like her hair. i might do it how you did. we'll see. you got the symbol right. i still stick to my comments from the join.me, where the neck might be a little thick, and either her crotch is too high or her belly button is too low. and either you forgot her neck band or you decided to take it out, and i forgot to mention it during the join.me. i see you put finger nails in, thats something i forgot to do. and you forgot to make the other side markings visible on her face, or maybe that was on purpose? nevermind, i see them, it was on purpose, only the top one on the other side is visible. ok ok, nevermind that part. i think her knees are a little weird, but maybe thats cause they are so muscle-ie. either way as a whole this is great. i loved the first version of the aella drawing and i like this one too. i like how you ink thinks. i probably would have preferred it inked and shaded like how dagger was inked but its not a big deal. anyways, awesome job, i like this

Glad you like it and that it could inspire some possible design alternatives for you.
The neck looks thick because it is very muscular and I don't see a problem with the placement of the bellybutton or groin but I could measure it just to be safe. Also, I didn't even notice the neck band when I was first sketching this image; so that is why is was left out XD
I could always attempt to ink it like the Dagger image; though I am still not very good at doing that. The only reason it came out so good on the Dagger image is because the artist who did the original sketch had already blocked out the areas with the heaviest shadows in pencil and so I just filled them in with black while digitally inking.
Thanks for the feedback and compliments.

I may try to experiment with the heavy shadow inking; it may be good practice.
