Teleportation Sorceress

Oh ho ho it's Magik A sketch, getting back to some occasional fan art. Going off of an Art Adams version from The New Mutants Special #1 from the 80s.

Damn! I'm completely blown away, I love it so much! Have you ever posted a pencil sketch here before? I think I've only seen your paintings. Anyways, I absolutely love her face. Did you base it on an actress? it feels like you really captured a moment.

Thanks! I used a model as reference for the entire pose actually. No one famous, that I know of. BTW, you can see the full drawing via a time lapse video at my blog: https://www.renearreola.com/blog/magik/

Been a while since I've posted any sketches here. I'll be posting more of these since I'm getting back into doing some Fan Art Fridays on my website blog. You can see two more sketches there, but there's more to come in the weeks ahead

I just subscribed to both your youtube channels! And you're creating NFTs????? That's like witchcraft to me, don't know the first thing about it.

Thanks for subscribing! Heh, I just realized video of the full sketch of Magik was supposed to on my other youtube channel.

As for NFT's I'm learning little by little. I signed up for a Voice.com account because you don't have to layout any money or eth or anything like that. They do all the work to 'mint' the NFT's. You just upload artwork. BUT, it's still up to the artists to build a community. That's what it all comes down to for these NFTs. It's so early in the game, though, that I want to get educated as much as I can. It's still witchcraft to me too! But then again, so was Internet 1.0 ages ago, right?

Nice. I kinda wish bigger chest, but I will shut my inner pervert.

Very nice sketch. This is then turned into a painting?

Ha! Sometimes, I follow the model ref to a "T"! In this case, I pretty much did in terms of body build.

Thanks. I can turn it into a painting, but because it's a fanart, I'm mostly focused on keeping these as pencil studies.

Most of my painting these days is being dedicated to my own IP's. For the kind of time it takes to do a full painting, I want it to be on stuff that I can actually own. And right now, that's my Realm Ethereal universe and a new storybook format I'm working on called "The Owl Warrior".

Fair dos. I asked as it seemed very finished for a sketch. So thought it might be an intermediate stage of a final rendering in paint medium.

Yeah, I should probably call them drawings rather than sketches.
