Description
Finished commission for of his OC, giantess Sonya Archangel Blade. I've been lucky enough to do a number of commissions of this character so I always want to try and improve on the last one I did as I'm very grateful for the commissions. However, this has a negative impact sometimes when I want to try and get the job 'perfect' and it takes me a long time to realise that that's not really possible. So this bad boy took absolutely ages, the amount of sketches and reference I went through was crazy. And in the end, the best result was when I just went with it and improvised.

The idea of the drawing is that Sonya is being lab tested for her strength by her government and she's up against massive polarising magnetic forces. I wanted to make the challenge look like a struggle and the best way I could think of that was to have her digging back into the chair, back arched, legs outstretched giving it everything she's got.

However, I wanted to make the pose interesting and still give her a good physique but also keep a lot of narrative. I initially drew what I thought was a correct figure and was really pleased but when I tried to draw a perspective grid from the the body, well, it was just all over the place. So a large portion of this illustration was correcting the initial figure sketch and combining it with a 3 point perspective background.

This has been a great lesson to me in really thinking about the character and the environment at the same time. Especially when choosing a tricky perspective pose with the character to start with.

Still, very happy with it and very grateful to Greg for the commission, thanks again buddy.
