an old QS roughsketch

[AyaneMatrix]

I don't of any other way to say this, but from the look of the scene, it's more like the mud is trying to eat her rather than the poor explorer sinking into the thick morass.

Nothing wrong with that though, mud can be hungry too!

Other than that, I like how her hair appears to be soaked in sweat and her clothes torn. It adds a lot to the scene to make it appear more dire, even if she appears to be able to escape.

This is a very good sketch. The mud doesn't looks realistic, but the Girl in Trouble is very nice

In my opinion this not a bad sketch for a 1st attempt, but believe me I am no expert, if you want to see something drawn by me it would be akin to a stick figure!
Yes I love thick and gooey mud as opposed to quick and sandy, and maybe the ring of thick mud around her torso doesn't look that realistic but I thought the other dissipating rings and the bubbles, of the sticky bog, do, in my opinion Also I like the clinging mud on her arms as she reaches and the darker saturated look of her clothing from being in contact with wet mud. It's nice to see the progression in your artistic abilities.

Thanks for sharing it..it was worth doing so!

I like the mud in this picture, it's great when you can see a ring of squishy mud bunched up around a sinker.

For a first attempt, It's pretty sweet! i like it!

This is very nice! I like the idea of a damsel getting stuck and sinking in very thick, gooey quicksand or mud... all the better for envisioning the suction or vacuum holding her fast. Her expression is perfect, and the rope about to break is a nice touch! Thanks for sharing!

In my real experiences, I have had a ring of quagmire developing around me when working myself out, as the mud that was wrapped around my body was pulled up with me, and folding inside out at the surface. So, that quicksand ring in the drawing can be quite realistic.

I like the picture, the worry look on her face, the ready to snap line, and the bubbling quicksand, nice work!

Hey for a first attempt it's fine by me!.... I like how she really appears to be stuck in the thick mire and about to slowly sucked in, regardless of the rope she's clinging onto. You should have seen some of my early attempts....believe me you don't!
