(Nudity) I've never liked the way many artists try to shoehorn wings onto a humanoid body. Often the wing roots are crammed between the neck and shoulder or directly into the shoulderblade area, both of which look clumsy and top-heavy, not to mention biomechanically improbable. I prefer to root the wings under the shoulderblades, making for a much more graceful and impressive look. The characters' creator liked the design enough to adopt it, which was tremendously flattering to me! Peregrine Peryton and Jennifer Gray Bat are the intellectual property of Charlie H. Luce Jr. and are used with permission. (1997, 27 kB)

(Nudity) This one took way, _way_ too long, but I'm very proud of it. It was quite an experiment: I've never done a piece of art entirely without outlines, or with that kind of dramatic lighting, and the fireplace was a tremendous challenge. By the way, she did in fact pose in those nifty striped stockings and leather-and-chain collar in front of a fireplace.
