Vixen © DC Comics
I think this is the first time I have ever drawn Vixen. I have a couple of sheets of Canson paper that are perfect for characters of color. My first impulse was Storm. Then the X-Men, Thunder Bird. Maybe Luke Cage. Well, I didn't feel like drawing a tough guy today but liked the idea of doing someone I have never tackled before. Then while searching for some Bob Oksner artwork online, I came across Vixen. In case you didn't know, Vixen was created by Gerry Conway (first comic pro I ever met) and Bob Oksner. So I had my character to draw. I went with her more contemporary look, not really liking the Wolverine-like hair she sported for a while. I think this look is much more elegant, sexy and it took care of my need to draw a beautiful woman. Maybe I'll draw Thunder Bird or Cage tomorrow. :)
This was done in ink and white color pencil on a 9" x 12" sheet of Canson Paper.

she looks stunning!
I don't know Vixen, but Comix Book Gurl is right, she is stunning!
She looks terrific, Gene!!!
Outstanding Gene!
This portrait is very stunning and I really like what you have done with the white texturing around the eyes and the rest of the piece. Makes for a nice balance of color!

Wow! She's gorgeous, Gene!
I'm so glad you chose to draw Vixen, who is a much underappreciated and underused character despite her impressive credentials.
If there's another Vixen mini in her future, you should be on it!
Thanks everyone!
