How's this (17)?  Added the tensor faciae latae.  The satorius wasn't missing, right?  I also did some sculpting on the butt (not visible).

There you go! Perfect!

Those are some pretty hot polygons your MacBook is having to process. Can you blame it for overheating? ;D

The back looks really nicely detailed now. If anything the front biceps and forearms are lagging behind a bit.

For the outer hip-flexor muscles, again I recommend checking out pictures of Lisa Auckland. You could also do worse than her when you're looking for reference pictures of calf muscles!

If you look to where the hip-flexors (tensor faciae latae and satorius) attach to the pelvis, they are more or less symmetrical. I would at least create some extra polygons for the outer hip flexor, then you can decide how prominent to make it.

Anyway, love how its shaping up. Please keep the updated coming.

Look out Oz,  you're drawings are starting to come to life! 😮

Wow, the quads are looking fantastic! Really well done! However, there still does look like there is a muscle missing on the at the top, on the outside. Also, are you even going to bother taking it into ZBrush anymore? It looks like you can get some pretty good detail in there, just using your modeler (Silo2, right?).

Yeah, it's a shame you lost your artist, but I guess that's the way it goes sometimes. Not to worry though, I'm sure with enough practice with references you'll soon be able to master the shapes well enough to do your own under drawings. Thinking of someone like Alex Ross's art, I think watercolor art would suit your story really well.

Holy crap, these are good! 😮 Always love to see a cool idea superbly executed. Thanks a lot for doing the commission and sharing it with us.

Cool, glad you liked it Mimi. Another option is use a program like Poser, or it's free cousin DazStudio, so you can easily play with proportions, pose, expression, camera angle and lighting, etc, and then do your watercolor painting over the top. Don't forget that you can post any of your efforts here to get lots of constructive feedback. In case you didn't work it out, I really want to see the artwork finished for "The Conquest of Mawiyah" too.

Wow, I'm liking the thighs a whole lot better now, but that's not surprising. Hopefully some other people will give their opinion as to which they like better.

I know they're not finished, and it could be the angle, but it looks like the tensor fasciae latae muscle still needs a bit of beefing up to match the satorius.

There's a pretty comprehensive list over at Diana The Valkyrie.

I think one that is missing is:
The Master Demon (Kay Baxter)

I can also add a more recent one to the list…American Pie Presents: Beta House features Canadian female bodybuilder Tatiana Anderson.

Brilliant artwork! I think as good as your older ones are, your later works are even better, especially your Maidens 2009 entry. These definitely deserve more praise than they're getting, but maybe everyone is replying at DeviantArt.
