So? 6 months later, it?s finally done! I did the flats a few months ago, and then started getting a bad feeling about this one. It looked like the image on the left below.Then finally last night, I was flatting some other work, and it was really tedious, so I decided quit flatting, open this piece up and try to finish it off. After doing some rendering it looked like the image on the right. More promising.

Then I added color holds to almost the entire piece, some mist and glows, and a frosty ?X? background. I still think the drawing is a little weak in the mid-ground area, but overall I think it turned out pretty well.

Previous parts of the Emma Frost drawing saga:

• Part 1 (drawing the figure)
• Part 2 (drawing that pesky background)
  

Colored this one recently for my friend ubald over at Renderosity. Check his gallery if you haven?t seen it. Most of his stuff combines 3D renders with digital painting. He?s so good, it?s surprising he doesn?t work for George Lucas yet.
