Description I missed my one moth deadline a couple of days, ago so I made the most of my free time (and sleeping time) these past few days to finally finish the third piece of this set. After Jean and Emma, the final spot on the couch for this group photo is for the weather witch herself, Storm!


Before starting out with the piece, I was really tempted to go for her new look which she's been sporting in the All-New X-Men series because I love her new costume design, but I opted to go for her pre-Now! look to keep the costume designs of the piece consistent between all the characters. I managed to keep the inks fairly simple since her costume is usually depicted as all black leather, but I opted to make it a little shinier with shades of dark blue here and there to give her a little more depth. I'm really pleased with how the gold trims of her costume turned out, and it's been a really good learning experience for me to work on my shiny surfaces so I can work on characters that are mostly made up of such surfaces.


For the pose as a whole I depicted her in a more regal and poised position, with her legs tilted to the side and her arms relaxed on her lap. Together with her reserved yet telling facial expression, I think I've managed to keep all three X-Women different so far in terms of characterization and posture.Β 


I'm getting closer and closer to finally putting the final pieces of the piece to a close. The three main focal points are finally done, and I'll be working on four more characters in the periphery, and I hope to finish them faster than the last three. Once I'm all done I'll be posting a combined shot of all seven characters together! But for now I hope you enjoy this latest piece on Storm!

I see, you have sort of listened to me and added Storm's eyes! Β 
She looks so much better now!

It's a normal sized couch HAHA! When combined they're actually right next to each other!

Lovely work indeed. Her pose is wonderful, and I do love, how you've put light Β on the yellow parts of her costume. They really look metalic!

However, ther is one thing, which bothers me a little. Why doesn't Storm have eyes? Β I mean eye pupils?

Have you done it on purpose? Β

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. Yup I did that on purpose! She's drawn nowadays with her pupils whited-out like that, so I just reflected how she's portrayed now on my drawing.

I see. Thank you for your kind explanation. I honestly prefer her with normal eyes, as Β she is drawn in old X-Men cartoon, but this is me, I am quite a conservative.

You've drawn her very well anyway. I am looking forward to your next one.

No problem. It's alright, I too was thinking between the two but she's depicted more and more without pupils now so I opted for the more accurate look. Thank you and I hope you like my next one!

I understand your reason now, I am sorry for my little criticism on your art. And thank you for having taken itr so well. I hope, I haven't offended you.

I am sure you'll do great on others too!
