X-Men: Emma Frost

Sketch: [link]
Ink: [link]

The color work is finally done. I put a rush on this. So now I need to get back to work. I'm hoping that some of the techniques that I used in this picture I can translate into some of the commissions I have going one.

There are some little touches in this picture. The white wine she is drinking is a real wine. The music sheet title says, "Let's Make Music Together". Some of you should get that reference. It even plays back to her pressing on the keys. There are three X symbols on her person; on her belt, bustier, and choker. There are also two diamonds in her wine glass. Once colors I'm not sure how well that will appear though.
I was going for a soft and romantic feel to this image in the color work. I struggled with making this in either moonlight or daylight. Both can be rather romantic, but moonlight felt more appropriate with drinking wine.

Emma Frost has always been one of my all time favorite Marvel characters. Ever since I started reading X-Men back in the early 1990s. I enjoy her character, but recent developments seem to be taking her to a dark side again. It's not known for sure just yet, but if they do I will never forgive the series.
Oddly enough, I was first inspired for this picture when I was watching the new animated series "Wolverine and the X-Men". When Emma premiered in the series we see her inside the new Xavier mansion, lounging at a grand piano. I thought it was an elegant setting and fit her perfectly.
My original idea was to have her sitting at the piano's bench, leaning back on the keys. I felt that was too similar to my Pansy picture.
I wasn't going for her uniform in this picture, but rather just something she's lounging around the house in and enjoying some wine. I tried thinking about what kind of wine the White Queen would drink. It hit me that of course it would be WHITE wine. I'm going to try and make it appear as if there are two diamonds in the glass for the final product, but I'm unsure how well they come across.
I actually plan to make some more pictures of her. Maybe some drawings with her lover, Scott Summers.

Hope you enjoy and I look forward to reading your thoughts. (Someone pointed out the unintended pun there.)
