Mystique - Brian Stelfreeze

Wow! Great choice for his usual color masterpieces and yet outside of his usual (straight) oranges/greens/purples.

100% man! I don't even have the necessary tools to describe what I adore about these colors. He even added these tiny orange flecks to her eyes which is a crazy attention to detail. 

INSERT SMURFETTE JOKE HERE

NOOOOOOOO it's too much work trying to post a meme on a CAF reply

This is brilliant!!! beautiful color work. congrats Eranga!

Once you go blue...!

Not a single "I blue myself" joke. I'm disappointed. Where are my Arrested Development fans at??

Beautiful super model close up pose by the virtuoso of color!  The split of the background allows for the duality of the character that disguises and hides her true self.  It also allows for a traditonal take on one side and a color effects spectacular on the other side. 

Good point as always in the contract on the left and right side of the image!

Stelfreeze works his magic on Marvel's most dangerous mutant.  A stunning piece!

Absolutely stunning!

I love how the fire red on the right is reflected off her skin...Just a master of color at work!

Congrats, Buddy!

Thanks, bud! Spot on with how he infuses the skin with light radiating through the red of the hair. So much to explore in this thing. 

Can I just say how smart it is to ask the undisputed master of color to illustrate a blue-skinned character?

Hahaha thanks man! Yeah there was no contest that 1) I wanted a female character 2) it had to be Mystique's blues and reds

Major congrats my friend on this stunner! Stelfreeze does such beautiful work.

thanks, George! He'll be at Heroes next year...get your running shoes ready! I'll have mine with me :)

This turned out amazing. Congrats on such an awesome piece, Eranga! 

Thanks, Chris! Thing about Stelfreeze is he almost always exceeds your expectations!

The eyes, that hair against the background(s)... exquisite commission.  With Stelfreeze, it's like every commission could double as a cover.  Your zealous speed paid off, man.  Or should I say -- ERANGAAAAAA!

Hahaha I was like 30th in line to get into the con but 3rd to get to Brian's table. THANKS, 27 other suckers!

Beautiful rendition of the fence fatale

JOHN. This damn tune will be in my head all day now. So I assume mission accomplished?

Beautiful

This is gorgeous - what an amazing Mystique! Great coloring wow. 

Oh, you know I love this.  Perfect expression for Raven here, and I like how we're slightly looking up at her, or, rather, she's looking down at us!  Her tendrilly hair, shades of blue, oh so good.  And it was a perfect choice for him to go with a half white half red background.  Impactful from a design sense, and gives more contrast.  Love it.  Did I mention that already?!  Congrats, man!

This man know how to drop color on a page! Wow - spectacular! Congrats E - thanks for sharing!

Incredible 

This over a Warhol any day!  What a stunning piece!!  I need a Stelfreeze!
