Been a long time

Okay, so it's been a while, it's not like anyone is reading this thing, right?
So anyway, haven't drawn in a while, and I was flipping through my last collection of sketches, which sold exactly zero, and I see an old favorite, the sketch version of the color sketch you see here. I decided to do what any good artist does, and some awful ones too for that matter, and steal, only this time, in my case, I was stealing from myself...novel eh? It was really only a jumping off point, and this is just the first bare lines of the thing, which sometimes turn out to be cooler than the refined/finished thing, but ayway, here it is, next to the inspiration, the new sketch. There's something about that pose that I must like, because I've seen myself use variants of it before...click/see the above title/link to see what I mean. As for any offended by nudity, it's all artistic, I asure you.
