Description
Flat out like a lizard drinking at the moment, but here's a commercial piece I just finished off. This one caused me all kinds of grief trying to get her looking right sitting on the shield.Her expression is because of the new watermark tattoo I've added to her leg Im sure... someone (thanks Tsuyoshi
) found my work being sold on tshirts on some Russian online print site and pointed it out to me.I know once your arwork is online, its outthere, but Username belodan, whoever you are, making money off other peoples art without asking is kinda douchey!

Some kind soul here on dA reported them to the sites administrators (my russian is none existent) and apparently the culprit has been banned. All is good!
Oh, and thanks!

OmG! Brilliant as allways! I love the work of the hair falling down her back and, specially, the shadow dropped by the armoured bikini on her breast.

Wonderfully illustrated Dave 
amazing as always
by the way, did you submit anything to the last Spectrum annual ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Really wanted to submit some stuff this year - its my favourite publication - but really wasnt happy with anything enough to send it in and ran out of time to fix any of them up. Okay, I also chickened out. Next Spectrum I promise!!
Hey thanks for the nice words - means a lot coming from a super talented individual such as yourself!

Great illustration, love what you've done with the hair and expression! (gee, that rhymes 
Sorry about the stolen artwork, I really get furious whenever that happens to a fellow artist... Did you do something about?

Thanks for the poetry
The site was all in Russian, so there wasnt much I could do about it - but I did have someone Russian from dA offer to write the administrators, so hopefully user name 'belodan' will get asked to take it down. Cheers man!

Its the natural expression someone makes when putting a cold metal bikini on in the morning
Cheers man!
