Title: X-23
Gift for: sleightofhand
Artist: nightambre
Rating:: G
Fandom: Marvel Comics
Characters: X-23
Artist notes:First time drawing the character?
Summary: Ah, X-men, my first fandom obsession. I was really excited about this assignment, and decided to attempt a character that I'd really only had passing familiarity with. Had a lot of fun reading issues with her, trying to get a feel of her personality, and then put her to paper. I hope I did her justice. I tried to keep her age in mind (that of being a mid-late teenager) yet keep with the style of clothing that's been established for her. I'm addicted to short skirts/thigh highs on girls, and figured she'd sport the look nicely :) I hope I've done her justice for you! please overlook any odd anatomy glitches...*cough*

ASDFGSADG"ASDGa3f LOVE. You rock, Mystery Artist! MAN. I can tell that you read up on her because you've got that X-23 "look" down perfectly, all cold and passionless in the face of crazy kooky violence.

I'm glad this got you into reading more of her books! Just hope it wasn't the new X-Force, hah! That series is pretty questionable.

Thanks again Artist! Youuu arrree awwweeesommmmme.

Oh yeah, and I am also a big fan of the short skirt/long boots combo. TWO THUMBS UP.

I'm /so/ glad you liked it. I did the thing several times (and in the midst of my darn cat croaking T_T) trying to make sure it was right...or at least close enough for government work. I was still worried when I submitted it, as I said, first time /evar/ drawing the character >D So, very, very gla dyou liked it! <3 <3

woooohoo X-23 is the definition of badass. I love what you've done with the... blood ;D

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

Wow. Lovely, and I think you did a great job on the blood streaks, the forward motion, and the upthrust chin. Really nicely done!

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

FIERCE! That outfit combo is indeed super hot, and I love how you drew her pose and expression. The blood is also a really cool idea and it gives the picture that little extra something something ♥

Wow this is awesome

Ohh, I like this. The sparse background looks great with the textured streaks of blood, and the lady is really well drawn. (Her right hand is lovely. Actually, so are her hair and her face and her waist and basically everything, but I particularly like the way you've arranged and drawn her fingers.)

This is so excellent--I love her face, all fierce, and the blood streaks, and I really love the shading on her skin--so luminous. She's all glowy, like the moon, right before she snuffs out our worthless lives. :DDD

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, that is better than some of the official pinups of her I've seen
That's just wonderful, and I love the red extending past the border like that.

Great job!

I really like her face- and her hands, which are hard to draw at the best of times, and couldn't have been made easier by the claws. Really cool.

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

Eeeeee so cool! I love how she is striding towards the viewer with such confidence and almost threatening - particularly with her claws and the swipes of blood - YIKES!! The swing of her hips and skirt, though the image is stationary, is nevertheless extremely mesmerizing. Everything about her screams badass!

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

So cool! The red streaks outside the border are a fantastic touch, and she looks so wonderfully badass. :D

OH MY STARS AND GARTERS.

It's been like ten years since I picked up a new X-Men comic, so I only know this character in passing -- but WOW. This is so gorgeous and bad-ass that I almost want to run out and buy some books with her in them! The expression on her face, the pose of her body, the arcs of red -- everything about this is magnificent!
