MUCH better. The pose is more dynamic too, great stuff.

Now that, is what I call an improvement. I'm lovin it man! : )

And I know this isn't a finished piece, but I need some anatomy help on it. I'm not sure if I fully got it right(humans are my weakness, especially females lol). This is one of Tyvon's characters, Natalie, and I'm drawing her for a secret project which will be revealed when done. I just need to see if I got the pose down right before I color it in photoshop.

I feel something is off. : /

I think the biggest problem here is that the pose is kinda unidentifiable. It looks kinda like she's doing a baseball slide but I can't fully tell.

It's suppose to be like a mid-air kick. Something about it is really bothering me and I think it may be the legs.

Thanks, guys.

Is she avoiding gunfire?

I think the most glaring problem is her right foot. It doesn't look like a shoe and her calves, foot, and heel are all lined up wrong.
And her left hand looks.. small?

I think it's pretty solid, though. I can't draw wimmenz either.

---

For a flying kick, she's too horizontal and her hair should be flying back a little. Still good, though
EDIT:
I tried it, and her left elbow/arm must go further back to balance her kicking leg. and her right arm should go forward a bit. That's why she looks like she's slididng.

No problem man.

And she is avoiding an attack while kicking at the same time. Would the right foot be the one kicking? lol I'm kinda tired at the moment so sorry for that.
Thank you so much for your help. At least I'm not the only one! Even though I've seen many wimmenz..I can't draw them all that well anatomy-wise : P

I see what you mean for the horizontal problem. I think I could fix that by making her kicking leg go up a bit higher. I didn't even think about her hair! I made the ribbon like things on her arm go in that direction but not the hair!

also, Tyvon, maybe give him more groin space?
Reminds me of Protoman


Better?

this is a ninja in disgaea style

I don't know what that is but it looks better now
the head is still too big

Well..now that I'm looking at the two compared, it may not be all that close to Disgaea style, but it's still smexy!


I tried changing the leg up a bit by making it a tad longer and moving it up a bit. I did it this way instead of changing the arms so I wouldn't have to change them lol I seriously need to clean it up when I get the anatomy down.
EDIT: If it's still having that problem, then I'll change the arms like you said.

to me, it just seems a bit static, or she's just lying on the ground. Make the band on her left arm and her hair show that she's in motion

The megas are pretty awesome.

The legs are way too short, imo. Her calves meet her feet almost directly, which is bad. btw, her left foot looks ok, whilst the right has way too big heels, and no footbone. At all.

Thanks! I'll extend both of her legs a bit. I see what you mean about the heels, I'll fix that as well. I like how what I thought would be the easiest part is giving me the most trouble lol

here is one (1) smelly asshole courtesy of tyvon j. thomas

On the profile view, his jaw bone is too far in front of him.


Also, glad I could help Starpower

Yeah I guess the head is too big. Probably because I based it a bit too much on the game/s (been playing Cursed Memories waaaay too much)
And also on this:

which shows that to make it more accurate, the torso would have to be thinner (making the head look even bigger) and the legs would have to be way longer. >_<
I just didn't want to betray my aesthetics that bad.

Let's call it Disgaea-inspired. The legs atm are pretty long, imo. :X

i also did some style experimentation
