Very Nice concept sketch, I'm not so good with myths and what not so I was wondering your main theme is or at least what the story is that your working from. I assume its Pandora's box right???

Once again nice drawing can't wait to see more from you have a good one!

oooh Pandora! Rock on. :D

I like it, but her non-key hand is looking a little puposeless... is it meant to be holding up her dress?

Thanks! Yep Pandora's box....but basically she's the box

lol yeah pretty purposeless I agree. Couldn't really decide what I wanted going on there. Originally it was going to be holding the door open on her "heartbox" then I decided I wanted that closed - so that we are viewing her in the moment prior to making the decision to open the box. So that leaves me with a decision to make regarding that hand. I've got an amazing model I am taking some photos of soon - I'm hoping something gets sussed out in the shoot that will fix that hand. *crosses fingers*

Changed my entire Concept! New Idea!!!

Tyr - a Norse Sky God - A Warrior who lost his right arm binding the Wolf Fenrir to keep him from devouring the Sun. I'll give my thoughts on this new interpretation as I submit.

Sorry for all the duplicate posts. Not sure what I did. I was changing my concept entirely and trying to delete the previous images and upload new ones. Apologies. In the meantime here is the reference photo. I took it myself of - Model is Thomas of Brute Force Leather. Posing at the Bad Faeries Ball this past October.
