Yeah, not something wear his knees are perfectly worn - on both legs. Looks like identical twins in the erosion department.
And a dreamcatcher hanging from her spear? You will say dream catchers require spiders, not scarabs, but this is pre-history so the artists can employ any bug they wish.
As for her outfit, it enhances her sex appeal without a doubt but, ponder it as I might, I can find no functional purpose to any of it. I suppose she could super-glue it to her body to get it to stay in place but, short of that, the material would have to be so stiff as to be the most uncomfortable rags a body ever met.

The scarab thingy is actually mounted on a stand, back by the window.

:rolleyes: If HE had been the art director for Boris Vallejo or Frank Frazetta, those guys would probably not have received many commissions...

So he's watching to see if her boobs fall out of the straps? I give you points for creativity of costume, but except for looking at how close to naked she gets, there's not much here of interest in the picture for me yet. And yes, the Vallejos and Frazetta would do nearly nude, semi-nude and completely naked women in pictures, but I am not impressed with just naked women, as I am not a teenage boy who thinks the women in Playboy are real.

Put the naked woman riding on an armored polar bear, though, and it might get more interesting. Have a woman in leather slave straps, rivulets of blood dripping from her arms and legs, a dagger in her hand as she crouches over the fallen body of her lover against an oncoming foe, then I'm interested. Either there has to be an interesting connection of line, color, form and light, or there has to be dramatic subject matter for me to get interested.

There are interesting things being done with light in this picture, I agree, but all the lines and composition in it are set up to aim our view at her crotch. Maybe if there was a snake there or something? Anyway, not my favorite yet.

For those desiring more 'practical' attire...

ok, I like her armor lol. But ... the dude still looks lame. If you want hime in leathers please get him something sexier than that! Unless he's cursed to wear BCG (Birth COntrol Gear) all his life.

Okay, now the picture is slightly more interesting, not because the woman is in armor, but because the guy's position has changed. Before, he was just looking at her boobs. Now, he looks greatly pained and saddened, with his head downward, and his hand is raised in supplication as if asking/ordering the woman to stop what she is saying or about to do. So that's more intriguing.

But the focus of the lines and light angles has now moved from the woman's crotch to the woman's armor boobs, splashed with light, with the slight distraction of her big gleaming phallic sword. So still not my favorite. Also, how exactly do you size armor to exactly fit a pair of woman's boobs like that?

It was precisely this predicament that led to the development of tissue paper. From there, civilization marched forward to the sports bra and the logical necessity for Victoria's Secret to reinvent the damned thing every other month.

It's her twin brother's armor, you know. You can tell by the cod piece. No, that won't work because of the aforementioned breast plate. Must be hermophroditic armor.

A version that removes any hint of potential sexuality or reference to any human body part. And should only annoy HE, since it has a cat in it.
