Description

I've been working on this piece for three weeks now and I'm finally going to be able to upload her now after getting so much work for school done. After working on X-23, I wanted to go for a simpler piece for the time being, and I took that as an opportunity to get another character off my to-do list! So without further ado is the femme fatale of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants herself, Mystique!

Raven was pretty simple to do and was good practice for me considering most of my pieces have been males (which I must rectify). I wanted to bring out her sexiness but not over-sexualize her in my drawing, hence the simple yet provocative pose that I chose for her. I was initially planning to depict her mid-shape shifting, but I thought that it might take away from the look of the piece, and in the end I didn't want to break up the monopoly of her blue skin which is her most recognizable quality.

I chose to draw her in her classic outfit which I still think is the best, and by adding seams here in there in her costume makes it look a little more detailed than a white piece of cloth. Her hair was something I enjoyed doing, and I loved how it ended up with her left arm caressing it as it blows in the wind (so hot haha)! I also had to try to find the perfect mix of blue to depict her skin tone, and that's not as easy as it seems.

The skulls on her belt were a bit tricky to do, even more so the skull on her forehead which ended up looking not as detailed as I'd like it to be. I also initially planned on drawing her holding a sniper rifle or a luger, but I thought to go for a simpler pistol so as not to drive attention away from Mystique herself. I added the silencer in there just for an extra touch. As simple as it may look, I think that's what makes this piece what it is, and I'm glad I was finally able to get this shape-shifting vixen out of my to-do list.
