MAGIK...

backmagicwoman (Jul 28, 2009)

I think when most people think of the X-Men..the first names that come to mind are like Cyclops..Wolverine..Phoenix..Storm..the main players..but if you go back a ways..there are a lot of cool ones that did not get as much coverage so to speak...one of my all time favorites was Illyana Rasputin..she was the little sister of Colossus..and had a spin off of her own comic from the X-men called Magik....If you ever have time and you are into comics you should look this one up..it's a four issue limited series..and I used the picture from issue 4 as a reference for this picture..i tried to stay as true to the character as possible...and give full original credit to the original artist....even though i took a few liberties....I am very happy with it so far....If I can get a link to the original picture I will post it..i would use my comic to show you..but my scanner is currently out of commision.....I welcome any tips or advice for this as I am at a little bit of a loss for a background...

I love that you 'make art your own interpretation' instead of just copying it..that's creative!!

backmagicwoman (Mar 4, 2010)

Thanks Miss DJ...I like to feel like I added a little something to it when I use a reference..

Going somewhere...

Is it me, or is it funny that someone is trying to tell the maker of a program how his own program works?

Something very retro about this, yet modern.

Thank you everybody! This was done by playing around with the settings. I even worked on it in greyscale for a bit. I saw what looked like a pinkish dress and finished it from there. I wish I could do things like this on canvas. Maybe blindfolded?

Suntan (Mar 1, 2010)

Why do you wish you could with your talent?

jekyll (Mar 1, 2010)

I guess what I should have said, Suntan, is that I wish I had the inclination to do such work on canvas. It's one thing to push pixels around to form a drawing like this, but I'm afraid in a paint medium I'd overwork it and think too much about it. ( I'd never know if I was finished or not) I'm not sure I understand this kind of art. I enjoy it when it's done by others but I just don't feel any attachment to my own.

Suntan (Mar 1, 2010)

Get blindfolded then and just go with it. If nothing else, it would be fun. ;p
