Description Akiko Daimon by ~buuzen work in progress.

If you've checked out the changes made in my main page, you might have spotted my new Commission Status thread and noticed that I've commissioned ~buuzen for a piece. When I look for artists to commission, there's two things that I am looking for: 1) an understanding of muscle anatomy, and 2) the ability to draw cute girls. Check out buuzen's gallery and you'll see that he definitely met my requirements. He does muscle art and cute girl art well, but it usually isn't done at the same time. His girls are usually toned, but not necessarily buff. Check out these links to see what I mean:

rumble roses - Reiko 000
Tenchu - Ayame T2 outfit
FFVIIAC - tifa

I thought it would be interesting to see what Buuzen would do with Akiko , so I contacted him. His rates were reasonable, so we began the process. He quickly put together this initial concept sketch. It was an excellent start, and I like the curviness in his style. I asked for the raised arm to be moved slightly to improve to not obscure her lovely chest.

Bare feet plus foot wraps!

My favourite It makes her look strong, to be honest You know, she reminds me of a kick-boxer!

Does she practice any martial arts?

Still, she's strong, VERY strong. She could destroy a car like in Street Fighter bonus stage with three low-kicks and couple of punches, so she could defeat like a bunch of armed attackers without breaking a sweat

Also, she could defeat any male in armwrestling :3

Yup, I liked this one too. The pose was only changed slightly, and the lower body is basically the same. Still, I hear you.
