Somewhere around 95%.
Wait, MonkeyFist corrects me:
"Only about 30%, the rest are beautiful girls."

I worked on this Archer to check out the textures. I figure maybe the Fantasy people might be interested.

Now if only a talented artist was struck by a bout of generosity and drew some of the fantasy characters I have in mind for me for free... *sighs* ;)

But all the pictures in this thread are, as I must say, from good to really exceptional.

Keep up the good work.

I am always in awe of artists, mainly because I am one who tries but always falls just short of the mark. Nothing like trying it yourself to give you respect for those who can!

Poser stuff I am not a fan of (though this by no means reduces my respect of the modeller), mainly because I am a fan of faces and poser art has such a limited repetoire of expressions. They look cold and doll-like. Ideal for anime and the like I suppose.

I wanted Storn to do some illustrations for my Sadurian project, but sadly my complete disillusionment with a certain other forum meant I lost touch just as I was completing the work that would have benefitted from his pics. Oh well. Saved me a few pounds I suppose. If I ever get around to writing something I offer for sale I will try again!

My artwork (that which I have scanned, anyway) is here on my Sadurian site, by the way. It is not up to the standards posted here, but it does confirm that I like faces!

I don't do much fantasy owing to my deep seated hatred for fantasy. Obviously, I tend toward Sci-Fi and Supers. But, hey, post a request and if I get time (and have the relevant content) I'll see what I can do.

I agree. I am not an artist. I just take pre-made "stuff" and put it together.

Again, I agree. There is a lot of work you can do with the faces . . . but, unless you've got a face you're working from they always come out "fake."

Um, you do realize she's firing off a missile 2/3 of her body length?

(They must also be collapsible since the ones across her back would hit below her knee if they're the same length when ready to fire.)

I give you the Brazilian Piranha tribe's arrows. That one looks almost as tall as he is!

Yes, but she is neither a stone age primitive, nor is she carrying those types of arrows in her quiver.

Maybe she was exploring a remote river when she came upon a small tribe of native people. They traded and she took a handful of the unusual arrows.

Sadly, she realised that they were a pain to try to carry in the quiver and so ended up with just one, which she carried in her left hand. Much later, she was in a feudal castle and sensed danger. Not wanting to waste time drawing an arrow from her quiver, she simply nocked the one that she had received from those native people long ago.

There, simple.... ;)

Though if she's about to nock it, it should be on top of the string, not under it -- at least, I never threaded the arrow between bow and string when I was in archery class... >_> (A minor thing, but I noticed it. Sorry.)
