THUNDRA Thrashes the THING...


Brendan and I continue to march onward through Marvel characters in the month of May...
This time we have Thundra.. I was kinda eager to get into this particular character, because she often shows up in comics to thrash the Hulk or Ben Grim. Which obviously makes her a pretty badass warrior. Hell, She also she fights with a mace and a length of chain and sports a pretty stylized outfit...What's not to like?
Though, while I was trying to draw her I got to thinking about I how I'd draw a strongwoman type character and, its underlying challenge.
I think most female body builders from an aesthetic/artistic standpoint offer up some really interesting observation points and spark some downright challenging drawings. Personally I didn't want to draw Thundra like a supermodel, she's more of an AMAZON in my eye. While hunting for reference I saw lots of images where she was quite graceful. The Strong curves paired with accents of chiseled features, makes for really great drawings in my opinion. I'm happy with the color and composition on this image. But, I think I'll revisit this character sometime in the future.
Also, For more Butt-Kicking Thundra Art...Check out my friend Brendan's submission HERE.

Hope you dig.
