For :icondarthjazz:.

Nirvana Black - the Black Widow

"Age: 26
P.O.B: Shinjuku,Tokyo
Threat level: Medium/High

Nirvana,real name Kumo Takahashi,is the ruthless Queen of the Tokyo crime syndicate,having worked her way up through the ranks by seducing the male Crime Lord's and murdering them,thus taking their places within the seedy underworld and earning her 'Black Widow' nickname.The man-hating seductress surrounds herself with female bodyguards and is known for wearing spider web-patterned clothes to further make her trademark known.
Once part of the group of oddball fugitives,Nirvana constantly battles Elora for position of self-proclaimed Alpha female and finds herself frequently having heated arguments with the illusive Jay."

I'm doing a series of sketch cards for DarthJazz based on her fantastic characters (have a look at her gallery to see and find out more about them). I actually used a reference for this one; the beautiful Joan Chen. It was more for the pose than anything else; that woman is enviably elegant!

I don't think I will ever stopped being impressed by your shading, luby. It's just...crazy awesome. Yes.

She's absolutely lovely. You've outdone yourself yet again. :D

Sexy, mysterious, and dramatic. Great use of the dual-tone coloring and shading, luby. It's such a compelling piece!

Lu, I am truly awed by the way you take Jazz's already awesome characters and render them so beautifully in your own style. Gorgeous work. :heart:

Bless you, Jess! What an absolutely wonderful comment! Thank you very much indeed. :heart:

To be honest, I'm always amazingly flattered that Jazzy lets me draw her wonderful characters, especially since my style is so different to hers. I'm just pleased as punch for the opportunity.

Wow man! Way to raise the bar!

Very effortless, elegant curves and incredibly feminine features, the subtle lift to the eyebrow... umm... I don't even know what to say, I'm just sort of saying things that I like about this picture... haha, you've done it again, man.
I really like this. Bravo.
