Art: Active Balance (Original character, G, lineart)

[jateshi]

Title: Active Balance
Artist: jateshi
Character: Original unnamed (so far) (suggestions welcome, too)
Rating: G
Status: Lineart - the pencil lines are where I am going to have body-paint or tattoos
Warnings: Uh...lots of details.
Comments: I really like this piece - even if it was a horrible bitch to ink. Also, this is what happens when I have a picture drawn, I get bored, and I still have lots of time to draw - details like you rarely see.

Someone stop me next time I think about detailing like this, ne?

Again, you are invoking the CLAMP goddesses. I see it in that wing, there. ^_^ Nicely done.
Still, my favorite part of that sketch is the right leg.
It's the slight point of the toe and that dangling anklet that really make that piece.

As for a title, I think of Shiva's Dance of Destruction when I look at this.
Was that inspiration for the pose? I don't remember what you said when when you posted the pencil sketch.

CLAMP is my idol of all idols - I should make a shrine for them. XD "Oh CLAMP goddesses Mokona Appa, please grant me detailed little dangly bits for my next work of art...."

Not the dance of destruction, but the pose was referenced from a statue of the goddess Shiva. :3
