Natani pinup sketches - 2 Day Poll [Part 3]
Added 2019-02-10 14:34:27 +0000 UTCSo thanks for all the feedback on Part 2! I got a better idea (and actually read 20 or so pages in the comic where Zen/Natani was focus) of how to tackle this one. While I think Kieth is a good fit for a pairing, I did still want to keep it more character-centric. I think Natani leaves a lot of room open for some either action-y or confidence-centered dynamic poses like a lot of you suggested.
I asked Tom if he had any pinup ideas, he had none, lol. So--
Instead of Part 3 being a 2-4 word poll this time, I just went ahead and felt the urge to start drawing, maybe because I felt so behind from last weekend. So instead it's a 2-option drawn poll. Pose A is a low-angle dynamic shot, suited for sneaking through foliage or on rooftop, Pose B is a mid-action pose of some kind, striking forward at camera center. Though I don't know what kind of weapon Nat would use, even just claws could work with it.
I like both for different reasons, so leaving it up to you guys and I'll try to do my best. Even if you're unfamiliar with the character or backstory stuff, just deciding what you think looks best here is your right to do so as a Patreon supporter of mine.


Poll will end Monday 11:59pm EST, so Sun and Mon are the days to vote~

I vote B.

2019-02-11 02:10:18 +0000 UTCB is definitely something I like more. Natani's shown to use one-handed swords but a knife would probably be fine too given her assassin background. Also she weaves in magic with her attacks, which would let you do some cool magical special effects with B and make it REALLY cool. 8) Perhaps channeling a spell in her free hand? Also Natanis boobs are in between A and B in terms of size imo, probably closer to B. I also think shes a bit more muscular than she is here? Sorry for thr essay im sure it'll be amazing no matter what :)

2019-02-11 01:00:05 +0000 UTCSeveral people have mentioned how big Nat's boobs are in pose A, but I think they don't realize that they kind of are that big when drawn by Tom. He just cartoon-ifies them to such a degree that they're just kind of flesh orbs, so they don't really exhibit the natural hang and tapering that breasts have. Plus, just from a consumer perspective, FK, you draw breasts of different sizes often, but you don't change up the kind of boobs you draw, if that makes sense. Pose A looks interesting simply because it almost looks like inverted nipples, which is a nice change of pace from you (at least, in sketch form. That likely wasn't intentional.)

2019-02-11 00:58:15 +0000 UTCMuch prefer A. The posing of the Feet in B look a little floaty and awkward to me. They don't match well with the dynamic motion of the rest of his body. A also elicits a much more interesting emotion from Natani. It's like a sensual confidence, which I think is more appropriate for a pin up.

2019-02-11 00:49:10 +0000 UTCB for sure!

2019-02-10 23:07:20 +0000 UTCVoting B. While I love boobs, in A they feel too big. Natani is always trying to hide their feminine half cause of mental damage that permanently warped them. A feels too feminine for Natani. B feels much better, tho there could be other ideas to better focus around them since they are later explored in the main comic. But good job, they look good :D

2019-02-10 23:06:26 +0000 UTCYeah, I love the action pose of B. Really shows off her body completely and looks cool ^_^

2019-02-10 21:15:39 +0000 UTCOohh the slashing, getting Tense :D

2019-02-10 20:52:20 +0000 UTCB has some great tits.

2019-02-10 20:21:10 +0000 UTCI always like in character action shots so B!
2019-02-10 18:13:20 +0000 UTCOption B, both for the action and for the boob size

2019-02-10 17:53:37 +0000 UTCI'm actually surprised at how close the votes are to each other.

2019-02-10 17:51:55 +0000 UTCB for sure, and he uses blades. So a knife/sword works fine. Also dynamic action shots are great. The alts work themselves out nicely here, sort of a throwback to your earliest ones where they were just clothing toggles. His early outfit was basically just a fuckin robe, so I'd actually advise against that one lol. His newer outfit you can find skimming through the recent chapters includes a really snazzy green, scale-pattern vest. It was actually a gift from Kathrin, who you've drawn a few times. Pretty sure she's got a crush on him. Just don't forget that the clothed version (assuming that's how you go about it) should hide his chest completely, as he wears those magic extradimensional bindings. :)

2019-02-10 17:44:47 +0000 UTCReally going with B. Suits her character of an assassin more.

2019-02-10 17:30:00 +0000 UTCB is spot on. Beautiful, athletic, and a capable fighter not to be screwed with.

2019-02-10 16:25:45 +0000 UTCI like B, it shows a bit more of resemblances of Natani. Also for her weapon, she uses a sword mostly, in which she can be trying to strike someone slashing downward while coming down from the jump. But yeah, they both look good, but i pick B.
Antoine Davis
2019-02-10 15:25:36 +0000 UTCIt has to be B. I have almost forgotten, that Nanani is an assassin after all, due to he didn't had any assassination action in a long time, I only remember some in the very early comic, after that, non any more.
MrDirt
2019-02-10 14:59:12 +0000 UTCBoth are good, but I'm leaning towards B. Also, Natani can use magic with the help of the comic's version of mana crystals. I think that would be a good 'weapon'.

2019-02-10 14:59:02 +0000 UTCWhatever you do, I think option B's boobs are probably a better size. They're supposed to be restricted by magic bindings, so they wouldn't be super small (since regular bindings would work fine then), but I don't think Tom has ever drawn them as large as A, either. (I'm aware these are just rough sketches, just throwing in my 2ยข.)
