Introducing PhotoChick

May I introduce, PhotoChick. This one's personal to me, it's my wife's main character. She's a Katana scrapper.

WARNING: she's about .2 seconds from being NSFW.

Usually she's the one holding the camera, but in this case she's being photographed by her love interest Michael Angelo. And yes, for those who have followed the 8 Baller story...he's blind. Ain't irony grand.

Her story (which I think is pretty sweet), is as follows (summarized).

Emma Eastman, a young art photographer, was doing an outdoor photoshoot when she accidentally photographed a "Family" hit going down. When the Family realized they had been captured on film they sent another hitman to take out Emma.

The hitman detonated a large explosive device in her darkroom, with Emma inside. The entire building was completely destroyed. However, instead of killing Emma, the darkroom chemicals infused with her body. The silver halide bonded with her skin giving it a slight silvery/metallic tone and made it virtually indestructable.

She has now taken on the identity of PhotoChick, fighting bad guys in Paragon City.

*** on yet another side note: I can't BELIEVE they left out "photographer" or "photojournalist" from the day job list. I mean seriously...Peter Parker, Jimmy Olsen, Vicki Vale, that chick from Sky Captain (if that counts). Anyhow, enough rambling. Enjoy.

Hey, great sketch. I like the very light rendering.

Thanks sir. Originally I just had a single flat tone on her, and that wasn't working so I did the quick shading which seemed to help out.

I'm glad you liked it.

good point on this.. but I think this may have been done because there isn't really any location in either the Isles or the City that represents the media. The only ones really are the Paragon Times building that was highlighted in a PT article, and possibly the WSPDR building. Maybe they'll add future day jobs. *shrugs*

Thank you sir. So you think this should be a sequence of shots huh?

I hope I didn't mess it up by putting clothes on her

That is an amazing sketch, and a very interesting backstory to boot!

Wow. Great way to introduce your RW partner there. LOVE the backstory, and the art!

I love it, love the whole pose and the idea, awesome sketch. A neat gift for your wife! Cool character concepts, too.

(And speaking of day job titles, I feel your pain. I'm incredibly bitter that heroes can't get Pilot. Bah! Here's hoping they'll add some titles to both sides.)

Kind of scratching my head of why I didn't cruise through this thread earlier.. >>

Chalk it up to being busy doing nothing this season. :3

Very nice shot! And it's certainly... eye-catching.

If you know what I mean, nyoro~n. ;3c

(Sidebar: I'd forgotten you do traditional art, too. >> I'm so used to seeing the amazing 3d stuff. Dopey me!)
