Shrinking Violet - Legion of Super-Heroes - Finish

I finished inking this yesterday but didn't finish the color work. I wanted to post the ink and color together so that had to wait until this morning to finish.

Below is the inked version that was done on 11" x 17" Strathmore bristol board.
And then we have the color version that was done in Photoshop. Overall I'm pretty pleased with it. Thanks to the Legion fans who answered the favorite Legionnaire question I posed yesterday. I will be adding my comments today. So jump back in time if you want to read them.

Exquisite beauty she is, Gene, but I have one small critique...

I'm surprised you went that bright shade of pink for her nails. They stand out in the wrong way. I think I light green to match her uniform would have been the better way...

The face reminds me of the early pin-up lovlies of times past. I actually like the red nail polish as a contrast to the green costume (sorry LUD). Any signficance to having her sit on a red bed though?

LUD - As you may have noticed I changed the color of her nails. :) I had one color and when I bumped up the color saturation, it got too bright. But I was too lazy to redo the file so I left it. But you caught it too, so I fixed it. Though I was not partial to green, I did make it match her lipstick. Thanks!

Gary - Thanks, she does have that kind of cute look. The "bed" she is on is Colossal Boy's hand. I hope that makes sense not that I said that. But the question is: Is she small and he normal size, or is she normal size and him giant? :)
