Man, I loved the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon as a kid. I crushed particularly hard on Sheila the Thief. Thought I'd try my hand at redesigning her. It's not too much of a departure, but I love so much of the original. Those boots are killer!
I've worked in games and film. I'm currently a concept artist at Bioware.

Love it, novice question but when you started drawing this did you have to rely heaviley on photos for pose reference or do you have a sort of muscle memory for how you pose a character?
Marco.
Thanks, guys.
Marco: I didn't use any reference beyond some screencaps of Sheila I found for color. The pose was just out of my head. I'm sure there are all sorts of anatomical errors, but the stylization frees me to exaggerate and wander a bit with accuracy. I try to not crutch on reference too much when I work. Not that reference is a bad thing. I'll occasionally shoot photos if I'm on a tight deadline and accuracy matters.
Hey Paul thanks for the answer, that makes perfect sense, i use similar tactics for tricky perspectives.
looking forward to seeing more of your paintings.
Very cool pic, I love the pose!
