#classical statue redraw

[dragons-art-den]

Trans Trigun Week Day 4-non op/post op

This is actually a re-draw of a piece I did a couple months ago. The concept here is based on the Venus of Arles. I was tired of all the art I’ve seen where they slap top surgery scars on classic sculptures. Why not let a trans man still have his boobs??

(Sculpture for reference and version one of this piece below cut)

Venus of Arles by Praxiteles

Here she holds an apple and a mirror. I gave Wolfwood a broken vial of his healing solution and of course the strap of the punisher! (Also his nipples are pierced because my partner and I made a joke one time and now it’s cannon to me.)

In the first draft I think the proportions look weird. You can see clearly how much better my grasp has gotten on anatomy. I’m happy I’ve been participating in art challenge/event weeks like this one!!

This concept is strong and I’m glad I re-visited it. (I may render this digitally some day.) My favorite thing about comparing the two though is that you can see how I’ve progressed in drawing Wolfwood. He’s gone from mildly accurate to '98 to looking like Vash‘s stoner girlfriend. And frankly I love that. He looks more distinct.
