Testing a Bowstring...and Her Limits

My OC amazon archer-type character Aello, who still is not necessarily constrainted to a specific background or 'period', has some rather unique ways of doing things that perhaps fit her mindset but not that of the common person...

I guess that could be expected of a more 'warrior' upbringing, or one more to the wilds etc...

Or, perhaps it's just Aello being herself and flaunting her quite strong legs and feet yet again (she just loves to show them off apparently).

In this perspective based piece, you can see how Ael stretches and tests the tension of a bowstring. Sitting on the floor and using her limber luscious long legs to flex the wire, it's quite a sight. ^^

Although perhaps I should point out there's another limit apparently being tested here. Perhaps it was merely accidental...or perhaps in fact Aello was doing deliberately to herself as a test...but the positioning of her quiver in the foreground seems to have put a few of her arrows and their feathery fletchings scratching across her bare heel.

I suppose there's a chance someone is actually holding the quiver just like that in order to make this harder on the amazon girl...but I have a feeling he/she would soon feel quite a painful barefoot kick to his/her head in response to the attempted tickle once Aello lets go of the bow.

Anyway, so not only is Ael's gritted teeth expression meant to convey the strain of stretching that bowstring, it's also because she's kinda trying to hold in reacting to the ticklish touches on her sole.

A stretch, I know. (pun intended )
