WiP - Polaris (part 2)
🕑 Added 2024-08-07 15:28:02 +0000 UTCEdit: Just wanted to share the fully colored version with you all. Thanks for your support!
I'm almost finished working on Polaris, so here's a little update for you with all 3 versions. Based on Lorna's expression and pose, she seems to be taking this very seriously. I hope she ends in a good spot at the end, because the competition will be very fierce!
Production notes:
I didn't know Polaris had a second mutation that allowed her to increase her muscle mass, so thanks to Aron Orson for the information. I gotta say, that when a character has been muscular canonically, it is a lot easier to picture them doing this kind of thing. That being said, even if they were not muscular in canon doesn't stop me from including in this contests, as will become apparent as we introduce the women.
I based her desing on Jan Duursema's artstyle. I didn't know her by name but I recognized some of there trademarks from back in the day, like the stylized shadowing. And after finding out she drew Polaris like this in a swimsuit special, I knew I had to base her look in her style.
Now, from what I found out in my research, Polaris wore a blue and yellow outfit back in the day, but I always picture her in her green ensemble. The color just compliments that amazing hair, so the bikini will just be a simple green one, no logos or anything else.
For the poses I used the pictures of Ana Harias, who I also just discovered when looking for references. She has an incredible body, which fits Polaris muscular shape in the comics.
Seems like Lorna is also changing in the middle of the backstage. At least she is wearing her competition bikini underneath her clothes, not like a certain Tamaranean...
As always, let me know your thougts on this in the comments!

Will do. Thanks!

No problem. As for Lorna’s outfits, while a green number’s been consistent with her for decades, you should see some of the other looks she’s sported over her publishing history—with a few of them during her time in X-Factor.

Thanks, and also for your suggestions!

You’ve emulated Duursema’s style very nicely.
