saw this photo of a girl in this pose on the net and it sorta reminded my of the conan stuff. I've been looking to do a bit of figure studies and lighting studies so the study kinda evolved into this.
Can't remember who the photo was by but he does do some exceptional b/w nudes with some really dynamic lighting.
the slavemaster i sort of chucked in and made up as i went so not 100% satisfied with the light on him.

Just found the photographer!
