wittling this down in between comm work, and got the lineart finished!

i like the demure pose so much, i can very clearly imagine her posing this way while she waits for dina to come home.

i keep thinkin about the ways that i depict women that are distinctly different from the common male gazey ways, without making them all aggro. obv i think i do a fine enough job already and many can already infer it, but it's still a silly worry that i have. the grounded pose and erect strap do enough, i think (on ellie in particular; the choice to depict her softly in the unequivocable role as top is a hard stance that i like to take, that i won't ever depict her as an overly submissive bottom because of *gestures toward the fetishization of ellie in the male-dominated tlou 3d community*), yet i feel the "blemishes" drive it home. the body hair, the gnarled scars, ellie's lean muscle being rugged and gangly and not smooth. 

the finer details really complete it :)
