Description Art by  This is something I've commissioned, posting with his permission.

Here it is in his Gallery, make sure to go over and tell him what you think of it:


Ok, I SHOULD be sleeping, instead I'm going to share with everyone my newest commission!

I've been eyeing isikol 's art for a long time.  It's just gorgeous.   I really like how he does energy effects (Supergirl's heat vision, lightning, etc).  All well done.  This might be my favorite picture of Supergirl using her heat vision:



I really love how his work using 3D tools mixed with great use of Photoshop post work.  He often makes images that you'd have no idea that he posed them with poser first.  When there are a sea of people who just pose and render things, all his work has an unique feel to it, and there is a wide variety of it.  Just love all of it.  (Not that there is anything wrong with people who pose things in 3D and post art, it's all art, just using different tools.  Just that his use of all the tools puts him in his own category of awesome.)

Anyway, back to the image.  I've been in a commissioning slump, not posting at my previous furious rate.  But, I think I've been having a lot of awesome luck with the images that I've been getting back lately.  And this is no exception.

First the backgrounds are awesome, I like the bright happy vibe here.  I wanted a beach scene, but more than She-Hulk lying on the beach, so used some famous shots of her lifting on the beach, as some inspiration.  Though Must say, this is all :isikol after the setup.  I tossed out some ideas and let him run with it.  And he knocked all the elements I wanted out of the park.

And the turtle makes his return.

I love her build here.  And her hair!  Just lovely.  I also love the nice curve on the bar.  This is probably a light warm-up for her, but like all the massive weights that she is casually lifting. 

Anyway, tell me what you think of it.  I love all the comments.  I'll post a link to isikol 's profile when he posts it, appreciate if you went over there and gave him your comments too.   Really, a sentence or two on some art you like really does make an artist's day.

isikol was nice and easy to work with.   He made sure that I knew what I wanted and sent me a pre-render, that he then turned into this with his mastery. Please go wander through his gallery, it's really worth the time.  He's also taking commissions now, so if you like his work, make sure to hit him up for something!

Glad you liked it.

Also glad that you found something to your tastes in my gallery that you really liked.  I probably need to commission him again, as his art is fantastic.  (If you've not looked around his profile you really need too!)

Plenty of She-Hulk around here too (more appears reasonably regularly).

Congratulations on the great commission!

thanks.  I do like how this one came out.  (Hm.  I probably should commission him again.)

(I think after saving the little guy she's careful to not cause him any harm!)

I'm usually into the big beefy babes.but this is great stuff.it's like a beautiful statue.its a pity your into the meatier girls.otherwise I would ask you to do same image but with a much bigger girl..

cerebus873 In reply to yin-master [2014-10-28 00:04:04 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I usually stop around the normal human limits of a body building woman (or a bit below).  

Not that I don't enjoy other images of much larger muscled women, it's just not my normal commission target.  And even then, some images of that size I like more than others.  Often it depends on the artist -- and my plans for the image.

Though I'm in the queue for David C Matthews and I'll likely not have him go big there either (It's not inline with my concept for the commission, though we'll see, it'll be awhile before my spot comes around I think).  Mostly as I get enough of that with his original work -- and I like the ranges he can draw (few artists can get all those stages correct).  But he's a master that is for sure.

At some point I'll probably commission a much larger She-Hulk  (though usually elee0228 has that covered pretty well).

At some point I need to commission Bokuman (another master).  Actually I could toss more than my commission budget at him ...  I really need to get him to draw me something.  I always wanted to commission him to do a Titania/She-Hulk image -- where She-Hulk is nicely bulked but Titania is just bigger/taller -- and still using the Power Gem.  But Titania isn't interested in fighting anymore (no point really) and instead is interested in other things... (I've also commissioned this before too).

Thanks.  I think it's mostly him.

Though had i more money, I've probably 2-4 other things I would commission...

And that's without going back to She-Hulk.....

Titania.

Hmm.. from my commission pool (thought he's looking nicer/cuter here than she generally is portrayed -- but not inconstant with her first appearance in Secret Wars).

more: www.google.com/search?q=titani… (though a few are the marvel wrestler character Ttitalnia (blue costume) and some other characters that bleed in).

For awhile she had the Power Gem, which mean she was a match for anyone.

Or the "Marvel Illustrated Swimsuit Edition Vol 1", where they had most of the Marvel Universe in hard-body shots like this.

She-Hulk looks really great. I also like how she is part of the scenery / at peace with the scenery; the turtle likes her too
