Rogue
🕑 Added 2019-07-18 23:27:58 +0000 UTCHey everyone, here's the finished version of Rogue! From the moment I settled in the "savage lands" version I was inspired by Frank Frazetta's artwork. I wanted to get that "painterly" look on the background, with colors that gave that "jungle swamp" look.
It's something I've been really enjoying is to learn how to paint backgrounds directly in color and play with the color mixing and texturing of it.
So I hope you guys like it!

thank you. It's such a huge artist, I've been wanting to include something of him in my drawings for quite some time!
wonderful. Fantastic tribute to Frazetta :D
Lee
hold that thought =D

Savage Lands Rogue is the sexiest!

George Hall

Lee
Thanks. I draw a lot of inspiration from classic fantasy artists. It's an art style that I love
Faxmachinen
Beautiful image. Reminds me of one of those exquisitely detailed comic book covers that makes you excited to read it.
Lee
thank you! It was a great way to get back. I loved painting the background, since it was something I really liked from those classic fantasy images =)
Will
The shading is incredible.
Lee
Thanks for the feedback. It's something that I did consider at some point but simply overlooked during the process. I'll see if I can include in the final image =D
The quality is amazing, though I think a splash of dirt or mud or moss or whatever could bring more of the jungle feeling to life. Like these tomb raider shots, for example: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/laracroft/images/c/cb/Lara_Croft_-_Survivor.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170802140654 https://www.wallpaperbetter.com/wallpaper/534/415/713/tomb-raider-lara-croft-arrow-bow-face-brunette-blood-hd-1080P-wallpaper-middle-size.jpg

Thanks! I was really inspired by the classic way of painting those images and mixing of colors. I think it was more interestings to have those brush strokes of colors, going from the water to the "muddy" foliage and then the actual background instead of having everything clear cut and divided. I think it adds to the imersion of the scene. And it was a body type that I thought it was fitting the character. That slim/fit build that is very athletic =)
Lee
thanks! Glad you liked it!
Lee
why thank you! Glad you liked her =D
Lee
thank you! I really liked to make the "swampy" background =D And her body was a treat to do of course =D
Lee
oh there were definitely a few throwbacks to that image. I wasn't 100% happy with the background of that image, so it was definitely something I wanted to get it better this time around. As much as I prefer to paint bodies in greyscale and then color it, for backgrounds it doesn't work all the times. And forests are definitely something that is better to do directly on color, which was something I wasn't really good at back then. Not that I mastered right now, but I definitely knows better lol
Lee
thank you!
Lee
thanks!
Lee
I wonder if it's still a thing to die in the process of touching her =D
Lee
I had a few doubts early on lol. But everything was fixed =D
Lee
thanks! I wanted to make them look a bit "unregular" instead of just making a 4-6pack. I think it made it look more natural with the weight shift on the body =)
Lee
thanks! I was a bit torn between which hair type to follow, since even on the savage lands there are versions where it's the classic curly and some where it looks like a shampoo comercial ... so I went for something in between. Something "silky" but messy =D
Dummy

Oh now this is absolutely stunning! All of the colours are so beautiful and vibrant, the textures throughout the background are gorgeous too and I love painterly style of it all. The hanging foliage and mixture of colours in the water are all excellent. And Rogue herself is an utter masterpiece! The lighting across her face is so very striking and the textures across her skin and definition of her anatomy are amazing. The wet/dirty tones on certain parts of her skin are an especially amazing attention to detail. Truly brilliant work on this piece! ๐๐๐๐๐

I love abs ๐คค. Krys this is one of the best Rogue pinups I've seen. The choice of Savage Land Rogue definitely paid off. Thanks for sharing this.
Ziggurat
She looks lovely! :D I love her hair!
