The character of Slyph is the creation of the poster stmercy2020. After reading Ad_Meyer's fan-fic/side story involving soda dispenser remediation plans I was inspired to try to figure out what Slyph might look like.

NSFW if you're not in the company of co-workers or employers that condone implausibly proportioned muses. Erring on the side of caution with the thread title if folks want to consolidate their doodling interpretations of stmercy's mental lodger within.

Sketched first with a mechanical/technical HB lead .5 pencil on 8.5 by 11 printer paper smooth stock.

Inked with .2 Sanford Uni-ball Micro and a Pigma 005 .20mm black detail pen.

Lines erased with a white eraser.

Total time 90 minutes, easily distracted.

Brain nearly destroyed by the line of "Wider than tall" so I settled on a 5 and a half head height for the figure with a little over for shoulder width.

The weird buttons on her panties was an attempt to give her clothing that could bypass her tree trunk legs.

Might try some more acrobatic poses after sketching for a while longer.

Anatomical errors in abundance that will only be remedied through repetition however any insight or resulting feedback is appreciated.

Someone liked her enough to make a picture?!  I can die happy now…  😀

Oh, wait- I still have to write up the carwash, don't I?  I guess no popping off just yet, eh?  😉

Thanks CP.  And thanks, Ad_Meyer for the story, too.

In terms of actual measurements- which, btw, I purely hate- I had Sylph figured for 5'4", but that has somehow transformed to 5'6".  That's honestly not a big deal, as people tend to be taller in the morning than in the evening (true fact, although not usually by a whole inch or two- maybe she slouches sometimes?)

Both her panties and her bras are hand-tailored, which is why they tend to be the only clothes that she has that can survive her workouts.  The panties have buttons on the sides, for precisely the reason you listed, and the bras replace the hook-and-eye catches with leather thongs in the front.

Incidentally, I see you caught that Sylph actually has breasts- thank you.  She's not a competitive bodybuilder, so she shouldn't really be overly ripped or vascular.  She's just plain huge.

Hate to be so rude and direct, but it looks more like the deformed daughter of the hunchback of Notre dam, than the cute girl stmercy describes in his stories.  :-
Just my (worthless)two cent opinion. No hard feelings.

Okay.  I'll say this once, and then I'm gonna let it go.  When someone makes something for me, I'm going to be appreciative.  Period.

That said, not everyone's interpretation of a character I write about is going to be the same.  That's fine- diversity is the spice, et. al.

Would I have drawn Sylph the same way Cowprobe did?  I suspect not, since my drawing skills aren't even on a par with a demented three-year-old's.  If anyone wants advice from a writer about precisely what I visualize when I'm writing about any of my characters, Sylph included, I'm more than happy to provide it- in a PM or open forum, your choice.

Okay.  That little rant over (kind of like being flogged with a wet noodle, huh?), I'll go on to say just two more things.

1) Thank you, Cowprobe for your drawing.

2) I look forward to any other interpretations anyone wants to post here- bring 'em on!

stmercy2020,

You're welcome man, least I could do in the avalanche of original literature you've been kind enough to share.

Lupus14,

The reinforced daughter of the Hunchback and Esmeralda is an idea I'll gladly snag. 😉
