Sardonyx

Update: Changed muscles and face according to feedback

Someone with actual knowledge of human anatomy feel free to comment on those weird-ass looking arms. Feel free to comment on the ugly hair as well, painting hair is new and weird territory for me.

Idk if Steven Universe fanart’s gonna become a thing for me, but theorycrafting for the next Stevenbomb pumped me. Shitty speculation ahead: http://marikbentusi.tumblr.com/post/122197136092

The arms are a little odd, but it's just that the muscles are misplaced. The hair looks fine in my book, it has shape and texture, which is nice.

MarikBentusi responds:

Yeeeah those muscles were the big elephant in the room for me (and the butterface, tho since that's mainly about reconciling artstyles, that's something much more malleable).

Took some time today to do some studies. Do you think this would be a worthwhile improvement on the muscle front? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22370734/Sardonyx-musclereview.jpg
I'd like to update the pic with better anatomy, but not if the improvement is "meh, still pretty ass" at best.
