JagoDibuja - Emmanuelle


This is the colored version of a lineart that I had jagodibuja do for me.

To give you a little background about her, her name is Emmanuelle, as the title says, and she’s a character from a French erotica novel of the same name.  As well as a series of movies based on that book staring Sylvia Kristel.  However, this particular version is from a series of movies in which Emmanuelle, after losing her friend in a tragic car crash, goes to Tibet for spiritual solace.  While she’s there, she is told that she’s been chosen to be the “Reincarnation of all women”.  To do this, she was given a special perfume that allows her to become young again as well as “enter the soul of another woman”.  And so, with this perfume, she sets about the world, seeing old friends and meeting new ones and getting involved in their love lives and essentially fixing broken relationships.

The tricky part about coloring this picture was mainly the hair.   Because the hair was wavy, it was tricky to figure out where the shadows as well as the highlights would lie so I just went by feel on it.

In this picture, I also attempted to digitally paint a cherry but thanks to some images I found here and there, it wasn’t as hard to do.   Though, why did I pick a cherry?  If you’ve seen the cover of the original Emmanuelle film, you’ll see a cherry on it placed suggestively above a set of lips.  So, I threw that in as a homage to the original.
Note:  All character(s) depicted here are 18 years of age or older
