Description Here are the colored lines to which is a double whammy of a drawing for myself for my birthday of my current favorite character of my own, Sapphira, as well as my entry to 's Song Title Inspired Jam. This jam is fairly easy for me, as many of my deviations are already named after song titles and such. The song "My Chick Bad" by Ludacris feat. Niki Minaj instantly comes to mind when I think of Sapphira!

"I’m saying my chick bad
My chick hood
My chick do stuff that your chick wish she could
My chick bad, badder than yours
My chick do stuff that I can’t even put in words
Her swagger don’t stop
Her body won’t quit
So fool pipe down you ain’t talkin' bout s**t
My chick bad, tell me if you seen her
She always bring the racket like Venus and Serena
All white top, all white belt
And all white jeans, body looking like milk
No time for games, she’s full grown
My chick bad, tell your chick to go home!!!"


Yep...that fits Sapphira to the tee! What other song would be more fitting for the self-proclaimed "Baddest B**ch of Them All?" As for the colors, I tried some different things here...instead of retrace all of the lines with black, I just chose to outline her skin with a dark shade of brown and her clothes with a darker shade. Plus, you'll notice that I took out the wall tiles from the lines...they weren't coming out to my liking so I scrapped them and just settled for a gradient background. I really like how vibrant the colors came out...I added the glow effect with PS and made it purple to stick with the Prince theme!

*******************************************
Full Name: Sapphira Destiny Reese
Nickname/Ringname: "The Unfuckwitable", "The Baddest Bitch Of Them All", "The Bionic Badass"
Age: 27
Height: 5 feet 10 inches
Weight: 155 lbs.
Eye Color: Silver/Light Grey
Hair: Jet Black
Nationality: American
Race: Mixed (1/3 Black, 1/3 Cuban, 1/3 Puerto Rican) She describes herself as an "Afro-Latina"
Physique: Thick and voluptuous, yet slightly muscular
Measurements: 36DD-26-40
Signature/Finishing Moves: "Your Own Damn Fault" (Brainbuster DDT/Steiner Screwdriver), The Destiny Destroyer (Flipping Piledriver), "Bad Intentions" (Spinning Headlock Sitout Lariat), "The Naughty Girl" (Lionsault/Springboard Moonsault), Judgment Slam, Curb Stomp, Running Punt Kick
Special Powers/Abilities: Sapphira has undergone several genetic augmentation treatments which has exponentially increased her strength, speed, quickness, endurance, stamina, agility, and many other of her phyisical attributes. Her skeleton has been fused with a super dense metal alloy, making her bones virtually unbreakable. Nanites have been injected in her bloodstream which aid in her hyper enhanced healing abilities and also makes her immune to almost all sicknesses and diseases.

*Sapphira has most recently been fatally wounded and taken back to Scarlette Tamzarian's laboratory where her body resuscitated itself from death. Scarlette put Sapphira on life support and added some minor bionic parts, implants, mcirochips in her brain, bionic eye implants, and a bunch of new nanomachines to aid in her full recovery, making her body 25% mechanical and technically making her a cyborg in the process...although Sapphira is now a cyborg, most of her cybernetic components and parts (except her spinal column) are internal so she still appears as a normal human. As of right now until further notice, Sapphira is in suspended animation within a stasis tube with within Scarlette's possession as Scarlette hopes to make Sapphira into the ultimate cyborg warrior.*

All of her already heightened abilities have been increased two-fold...Scarlette has also given Sapphira the metahuman ability to subconsciously and psionically initiate random telekinetic acts that affect probability in her favor by making improbable (but not impossible) things to occur within her line of sight, thus causing her to have "good luck" and her opponents to have "bad luck." This "probability field" phenomenon can be anything from an enemy's equipment failure to hitting just the right switch with a stray shot to shut down an overloading nuclear reactor. The full extent of her powers is still unknown.

This subconsciously controlled talent is triggered when she is in a stressful situation (such as fighting or escaping). This effect constantly emanates from her body at all times and is completely subconscious. However, it is also largely participatory; in order for the luck to take effect, Sapphira herself must engage in an action whose chance she can affect. +Taken from Wikipedia+

Random Quirk: Sapphira is actually an excellent cook as well as a phenomenal dancer, especially in latin dances.

Yeah, you know funny story. I used to just draw Midas in sexy positions till somebody asked me why I never draw her in action (or wrestling in general) then I did that promotion last year and been drawing wrestling ever since You should draw any simple move to start you off, then move onto more complicated moves. Right now I'm drawing a crucifix jujitsu/sambo hold Took me a few tries but I got it

You may be a little disappointed, but I'm planning on moving her away from her fighting/wrestling pieces in exchange for a more superheroine/action look and feel. I kinda feel that I've gone the course with her in the realm of her as a wrestler and not to trap her in the mud, I want to jazz her up a little more to give her more plot devices for the future. She'll still be a badass fighter and will continue to implement her wrestling/fighting skills, but it won't be so much in a wrestling ring anymore.

However, I'll still probably take a crack at drawing her performing one of her signature moves or finishers!

That's a shame, maybe she should have that as a hobby/sidejob, kind of a reversal with Midas. She wrestles as a job but as a 2nd job is a trainer at one of those curves type places

Yeah...she'll probably still do her competitive fighting/wrestling for the Triple F on the side. I'm really about to shake things up with her and just want her to be more than just a fighter. Plus, with some of the plans that I have for her, she'll be able to fight on a whole different level than where she was already against more challenging opponents...can you say cyborgs?

And cool! Midas works at one of those Curves places!

I'm not that familiar with Maris...I've seen a few fan arts of her around, and she's hot from what I can see. I'm thinking about making Sapphira into a cyborg herself...not overly extensive like some of my other girls; she'll still look basically the same, but she'll have a few internal parts added and such. Haven't worked out all of the details yet.

And yeah, most of my girls have other jobs as well! Sapphira is/was a CEO of a technological company, and perhaps will soon be a superheroine!

Cool Been thinking of giving my girls down to earth jobs since, I heard from a friend that in reality, wrestlers don't make as much as we think. Unless like you're the main attraction and in reality only WWE can pay the top stars like celebrities, they wont pay lower card wrestlers as much, and even worse in indie promotions, so Midas has to teach at curves, Patty has to be a realtor, Jagi and Bebe teach martial arts at a gym, Eva has her "escort service", Pearl works at a nudist colony and I'm not sure what to make Mizu work at, as a joke maybe a manager at Tim Horton's

Mr-Marcus-81 In reply to Jinzouki [2010-04-12 18:43:37 +0000 UTC]

Yeah...wrestlers don't make shit unless they're a huge draw in WWE or TNA. Depending on how much merchandise they can sell and such determines on how much a certain wrestler gets paid....guys like Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy, DX, and Cena are cash cows b/c of all of the t-shirts, DVDs, action figures, etc that they sell. But yeah...the guys/gals in the indies work their asses off only to get paid peanuts for their efforts. But they do it for the love and passion of wrestling rather than just to get a check.

Patty a realtor? I'll bet that she sells a lot of houses/property to male clients especially! And what's Tim Horton's...one of those restaurants like Hooters or something?

As for my gals I mentioned what Sapphira does...Nikki is a pro athlete as well as a superheroine, Angie is a bartender/bouncer, Raina is a Cyber-Cop, Nina's in the military as well as a stage actor, Vanessa is a Cheerleader for a NFL Football team, and Jennifer works in a pet shop.

Yeah Patty is a Realtor and yeah does sell alot of homes and Tim Horton's is a coffee, donut, soup, and sandwich shop, which is now owned by Wendy's They are expending across the US so eventually they'll get to where we live It's good you'll see and Hooters for some of my gals is an awesome ideas Your girls have some neat second jobs too

I love you work and I was wondering how you color? is it with photoshop?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Mr-Marcus-81 In reply to whiteknight222 [2010-04-08 07:05:40 +0000 UTC]

Aw, thanks man! Actually, I just got access to Photoshop on my laptop like 2 weeks ago! I've only colored 3 pics thus far using it....before I got PS I used Corel Painter Essentials, which came with my Wacom Tablet. I also downloaded and used Photofiltre and Gimp which I have used in certain pieces.

As for a quick rundown of how I color my drawings, here's my method:

1.)Of course, I scan the original lines

2.)I create about 6 layers for the drawing; (From top to bottom)Lines, Clothing/Background Highlights, Skin Highlights, Clothing/Background Shading, Skin Shading, Original. Depending on how extensive my background is, I may create a separate layer for the background.

Lately, I've added an extra layer of INKS to give my drawings a bit more pop and a more comicky feel to it...that layer goes directly below the LINES layer. If I find that there aren't a lot of spots to completely ink black, then I'll just ink those few spots on the LINE layer.

3.)I use the brush tool to retrace the lines on the top Lines layer...typically I choose black to retrace the lines with. I tend to use a hard edged brush to administer the lines. For this Sexy MF pic, I only used black on the black surfaces such as her hair and her garments. As for her body/skin surfaces, I used a dark shade of brown to retrace the lines to give it more of a natural look rather than the cel-shade style.

This step usually takes about 1 hour and 30 mins. Until I can figure out how to use the pen tool with PS, I'll continue to ink my lines this way.

4.)Once I've inked my pencils, I save my work thus far and then duplicate the LINES layer. I rename the duplicated layer FLATS and move it down the layers list to the second from bottom layer in between the ORIGINAL and SKIN SHADING layers.

5.)After that, I switch to the Skin Shading layer and apply the colors to the areas that need it....same deal with the clothing layer. I tend to use an airbrush to add the shading...as it's softer and makes it look like natural shading.

6.)Once the shading is done, I then go to the FLATS layer and fill in the flat colors of whatever surface...base skin and clothes tone and such. Being that the lines from LINES have been duplicated, you can use the paint bucket fill tool to fill in large areas of one color at opposed to having to brush it on.

I usually add the finer details such as lip colors, eye color, hair color, etc on the FLATS layer.

7.)Once all of the flats have been administered, I then go to add the SKIN and CLOTHES highlights. I also use an airbrush to administer the highlights. Once those have been added, I go around between the different layers to clean up the image, as there's bound to be some smudges and stray marks that overlap into areas that don't belong.

8.)Once all of the shading, highlights, and flats have been done, I decide if I'm gonna do something else to make the pic stand out. If I drew a background, I'll usually just stick with it and do my best to make the colors vibrant enough to make the scene look like a living breathing environment. I've still got a long way to go when it comes to drawing landscapes and such, so that's why some of my backgrounds tend to be a little plain.

If I didn't draw a background, I'll then save the pic as a layered file, then save it again as a JPEG file. Then, I'll go to either Photofiltre or Gimp and add on things such as gradient fills, lighting effects, text, or lens flares. I do my best to avoid going overboard with these things, as sometimes overusing them will make the image come out looking flat and boring.

9.) Once I'm pleased with everything, I load it up on DA and bam! That's that!

This is just a brief rundown of how I do things. As I mentioned, I really need to learn how to use the pen tool so that I can get even better, more crisp lines. I just try to do my best to create dynamic colors that will make the image jump off of the monitor. If you're looking for other tips, I suggest that you observe how colors are set up on some of your favorite artists...I really enjoy the colors of and and I have seen how they create certain effects in relation to shadowing and highlighting and such.

Also, start noticing things in everyday life....look at how light bounces off of some objects and creates shadows and such. When you go to color your stuff, keep the idea of dynamic lighting and such in mind and apply that to your work! By no means am I a pro when it comes to coloring, but I thank you soooooooo much that you admire my work so much to want to know my process!

I know most of those steps as well as those great artists I know an awesome time that feels like it takes forever but is super worth it. Have you seen my latest piece Dingo? Well I just use a normal hard brush as well but I only use either shaper dynamics for darker or shape dynamics and other dynamics, it comes out so soft and smooth and begins and ends with your stroke. Try it dude. I also know a great trick for making perfect curves with the pen tool but I'll have to put it in a better instructions. Maybe a tutorial is coming lol.

Mr-Marcus-81 In reply to Lurker-Below [2010-04-08 07:15:02 +0000 UTC]

I think I found what I might give her...the power of Probability Manipulation....very similar in nature to that of Longshot or Domino from Marvel Comics. In fact, reading this from wikipedia is what gave me the idea:

*taken from the wiki of Domino* [link]

"Domino is a mutant with the ability to subconsciously and psionically initiate random telekinetic acts that affect probability in her favor by making improbable (but not impossible) things to occur within her line of sight, thus causing her to have "good luck" and her opponents to have "bad luck." This "probability field" phenomenon can be anything from an enemy's equipment failure to hitting just the right switch with a stray shot to shut down an overloading nuclear reactor. The full extent of her powers is still unknown.

This subconsciously controlled talent is triggered when she is in a stressful situation (such as fighting or escaping). This effect constantly emanates from her body at all times and is completely subconscious. However, it is also largely participatory - in order for the luck to take effect, Domino herself must engage in an action whose chance she can affect.

For example, if debris falling from the sky was about to hit her in the head, she would still be hurt if she stood still. However, if she tried to avoid it, she would move perfectly to avoid each and every piece about to hit her. In addition, if Domino were to stand before a hail of bullets she would be a bullet-ridden corpse. Instead, she must take action, attempting to avoid the gunfire, and would miraculously bob-and-weave just perfectly to avoid every single shot.

As a byproduct of her probability abilities, Domino's cerebral cortex emits a current of bioelectric pulses down her spine to instinctively guide her movements during such situations, which has the added effect of augmenting her natural reflexes and agility to near-superhuman levels.

During the 198 rebellion at the Xavier Institute, Domino was able to consciously utilize her abilities in order to affect the probability fields of storm clouds above a group of ONE Sentinels, calling down lightning to strike them."

I really like that ability a lot verses typical shooting beams from her hands or something like that, plus I believe it would accent her already hyper-enhanced abilities very well. Now, I just have to figure out how to give her these powers!

Mr-Marcus-81 In reply to Lurker-Below [2010-04-08 22:12:17 +0000 UTC]

Well...as of right now, Sapphira doesn't have any kind of microchips or anything implanted in her brain. I've never really looked at her as a cyborg until the last few days and thinking about all of her other enhancements and augmentations. After looking up the definition of a cyborg, technically she is one. She's nowhere near the levels of my other characters like Nikki, Simone, or Raina...but the more I think about it, she's probably got enough to be considered one.

I have an idea of a nice battle between her and Wraith...although it probably won't involve a nano-virus. Let's just say that Scarlette would like to get her hands on Sapphira and subject her to more experimentation!
