Mystique - Alex Maleev

Eres muy bonita! Awesome Maleev piece and great photo of the 2 of you at Como. Very nice!

LOVE the darker hues that he used here and the image is more sharply defined than some of his other work because of that darker bakground. That also really lets that magnificent hair shine. 

LOVE that facial expression. It says menace, intrigue and beauty all at once.

A big ol' gun!

Blown away by this beauty. That hair...

Love the subject, Love the art!! Congrats.

Don't know when Maleev’s so good
Don't know art's come over you
You've found Raven new and
Don't it make my rounds thigh blue

I'll be fine comic con
I'll just buy all night long
Say it isn't due and
Rogue has make my round thighs blue

Tell me no secrets, sell me some lines
Give me commissions, give me alibies
Tell me you’re Maleev and don't let me cry
Paint anything but don't say goodbye

I didn't mean to treat you bad
Didn't know just art I had
But honey now I do
And don't it make my round eyes
Don't it make my round thighs
Rogue has made my round thighs blue

Absolutely fantastic Maleev art, his color and design really make the piece excel, I can only imagine how vibrant this is in person, with that deep red, purple and blue.  Cheers!

Gorgeous Maleev piece! I love his work!!

I'm trying to lok at HER, but man, that fucking gun is BIG! Phallic, perhaps? Nice colors and texture. Kudos, bro!

fantastic image and colors, I really like how the hair is done as well - great add!

Stunning!

Lovely piece, E!

GORGEOUS piece, Eranga!  Wow - Alex wields a pallete differently than anyone else, doesn't he?  Others may give you earth, air, water, and fire, but with Maleev, his universal truth seems to be comprised of -five- elements: earth, air, water, fire, and color.  The blue and white here nestle the viewer into a place of calm or cold, but Mystique's hair is almost -primal- in its intensity, elemental (there's that word again), infusing a very real feeling of danger or unease into what a casual viewer might mistake as a serene tone that had been set by the portrait.  Looking at this piece, you don't know whether to ignore your tingling danger sense and linger to watch for a little longer, or to run away and pray she hasn't noticed you. Absolutely gobsmacking piece, E (and I love the red Maleev signature at the bottom, too :) )!  Huge congrats!

Breathtaking! That's the word that comes to mind when I see this painting of Mystique. The deep blue color, fading to pinkish violet, of the background makes Raven's figure pop forward. Her white sleeves and outfit, as well as her flaming red hair, contrast beautifully with the background. Her pose, holding the automatic above her head with one hand and raising her other arm in a defensive gesture, see almost like the pose you'd see on a neoclassical statue in an art museum. The golden skull belt at her waist is almost a crown, The whole painting is a powerful demonstration of Alex Maleev's skill as a true master painter, Gorgeous pick-up, congrats.

Just WOW!! Stunning colors!
