Description Like Petra, unless you know the comic, you won't know this character: info: [link] (comics)

It was tough because she has the ability of time mainulation, which is impossible to show in a still image. My first idea was having her in chinatown with a clock saying one time and her watch saying another... then i looked at it and was like '.....bitch looks like shes just got a slow watch' XD

So its a subtle show of her power in this one, the idea is thats Hong Kong in the background and the reflection is New York city, but both at night time... and if you know you'r time differences its about 12 hours, so its really unlikely to be nighttime in both places hope that makes sense

again, i just wanna try and make these 'throwaway' characters interesting.. so lemme know if you like it

Actress is Liu Yifei.... when looking I was actually amazed how little there was of Chinese actresses who weren't over 30. Same goes for black actors (I will get to that when I tackle Bishop)

anyway, hope you appreciate tie concept

(Sadly, I'm nowhere near big enough a geek to know who Sway is,) but I still love the concept for this poster. Only thing is, the buildings aren't really iconic enough to represent their locations. For example, Hong Kong, I would choose the HSBC building [link] to show the location. I'm not too familiar with New York, but maybe the Empire State Building? [link]

Empire state is actually in the frame. It's the landscapes chosen, when I had two that didn't relect well it didn't look good

Oh, i apologize. But as I said, I'm not exactly familiar so I didn't recognize that. I love the idea of expressing her power of time flow in that way though. Very subtle. Good job.
