From the sketchbook, Jean Grey as the Black Queen. It was a strange day of miscellaneous work today: Getting files ready for a client, writing a proposal/estimate for a new client for a job (got it, btw), and meeting with another person via Skype, to discuss a potential project. While doing all that, I was sketching this on little pieces of paper, and refined it here in my sketchbook.I have a couple of Canson Paper commissions I am working on and one of them (Black Canary) will be on black paper. Never having worked on black paper, I thought I would do a test run with a different character first. The Black Queen persona of Jean Grey fit the bill for a character with a black shiny outfit, that is not too far off from Black Canary. And if this one works out, I can put it on eBay. If it doesn't, I've learned something. I hope. :)

Very nice Black Queen...whip it!
Black paper and Black Canary looking forward to it :)
Good thing you got that proposal otherwise The Black Queen would punish you....
Me-LIKEY!!
Gene,
This will be a very interesting challenge in that it seems that working with darker paper presents more challenges than using the lighter color paper. Perhaps while playing around with the black paper, you can do a few in the series (Black Queen, Black Canary, Black Cat, Black Gene Cutie, etc). Please keep us all posted!

Thanks guys, the black paper experiment was a disaster. But I learned a few things so it's not a complete loss. :)
