Description

Laura Kinney aka X-23

She is dead sexy, no?

I spent a lot more time on post-color shading and blending with this than I usualy do, and it shows. I'll have to dedicate more time to touch ups in the future.

X-23 is a very tragic character and makes Wolverine's plight pale in comparison. If you have the means to read the X-23 Innocence Lost and Target X comic series, I recommend you do. Be warned though, its one of the most depressing things I think I have ever read, and the most bloody.

I adore this character and you did a great representation of her spirit so kudos to you. Love it.

She definitely looks strong and brave, so you definitely get the mood across.

However, I do wish that your coloring didn't rely so much on the airbrush tool, which really doesn't allow for the shading to create form, texture and volume. The jacket, the hair, and the skin all have the same texture so they could be made from the same materials.

Hair should general be drawn in blocks of hair, to define shape, and texture. To do this you define areas of hair where they tend to flow together or clump, and treat each area individually depending on the light and shade. This gives the hair form, value, and bounce. Also it frames the face and gives them that extra sex appeal so important to female superheroes <img src="e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />.

A leather jacket should have sharp highlights that accentuate the deep creases of the jacket. Leather jackets, particularly black, tend to have a strong black and whites and very little grey. This is exaggerated even more in comics.

The skin can be soft and smooth as you have here, though a little definition on the muscles, and places where the bones are close to the surface (knees, knuckles) will show she is no light-wieght. Also you may want to get a nice deep shadow to define where the breasts seperate. As it stands she looks like a a cup on the left and a d on the right, the form is correct on your beautiful corsette, but she needs a little help in the cleavage.

Your anatomy seems solid except for the legs, you drew the legs well, but the mass of the upper part of the legs seem out of proportion with the bottom. either reduce the width on the top of the leg, or increase the muscle mass on the bottom and it should look great.

Great drawing <img src="e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />
