Have I done any work today? Umm, not really. But I did finish the faun. Priorities! I traced a reference head. The left arm is still wrong because I couldn’t figure out where it should go — I still think it probably shouldn’t be visible, but that looked funny. My favourite coloured version above, original below.
*SWOOOON* Wouldja take a look at those lissome back-curves.
I prefer the first color variant, too! The cool, pearly shades are lovely.
I got really curious about the left-arm situation, and tried scribbling it in:

The “invisible arm” variant seems to look less odd when you can see the tips of his left-hand fingers, as on the right. (His right hand seems like it could use a stronger joint at the base of the thumb, so I also redlined that…)
Although it does seem like a shame to waste the left arm you drew – the contours are so pretty.
Dude, you fixed it!! The fingers make all the difference. I’m going to change it to your version. His arm does have a nice shape, but it looks like his hand would be playing with his nipple. Which kind of has its own charm, but still….
LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO

Bffffttttttgahahahahaha!! The lip biting and the wonky eye just makes it so…where are the words?…I just keep looking at him. ETA: Paroxysmal. That’s the word. His nipple is tweaked so high! He could win a medal for nipple tweaking.
Errr, I guess I should indicate that that link is NSFW, just in case.
Oh, thank you for thinking of it, but that’s okay. I don’t think I ever tag arty things as NSFW. (ETA — Actually, it is NSFW. It’s totally distracting. No work is safe around the faun porn!)
