There's still a couple images I wanted to finish before I get started on the requests and other projects, and with classes taking up a lot of my time, it will probably be a short while before I really get to anything new. Luckily, I have no class tonight, so that gives me a chance to do some catching up!
Anyways, here is Mystique from X-Men with some extra padding! I drew her after acquiring a print of her from Mike Meyhew at a comic book convention in Long Beach, CA last year. The lineart was drawn shortly after, and I've finally given it some color. Keeping with Meyhew's depictions of her, I drew Mystique in the outfit he usually depicts her in as opposed to her traditional white dress. I also kept the overall image very simple: just her, and a smoking gun in her hand.
At one point I wanted to draw Magneto or some other villain behind her, but felt it wouldn't quite add anything besides a distraction.
The lines are a bit messy, a result of mistakes during the inking process and rather rough paper. I tried to fix what I could without redrawing the whole thing digitally. The lines are thicker than I usually draw, but that's mainly because I drew her rather small for some reason.
`ChewedKandi has certainly gone out of her way to keep the vector community on the right path. Always making sure that her talents are infinitely scalable, Sharon has put her bezier curves to excellent use, and firmly anchored herself as an inspirational leader. We're absolutely delighted to bestow the Deviousness Award for June 2013 to `ChewedKandi. Congratulations, Sharon! Read More
