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

LadyViridis - Harry Potter and the Witch Named Emmanuelle

This is a piece that I had commissioned of a very wonderful artist by the name of LadyViridis

In the beginning I had gone to the forums and posted a message saying that I wanted to commission an artist who could mimic the styles of the Harry Potter covers.  My reasoning for this is because I wanted to make a cover for a fan fiction that I was doing called “Harry Potter and the Witch Named Emmanuelle”.

After I had spoken with FlameRaven and discussed the specifics of it, she went to work on it.  Those specifics were that I wanted to have Harry in Emmanuelle’s bedroom.  Though the funny thing is that this isn’t a Mary Sue fan fiction where Harry is with this woman named Emmanuelle.

The story is basically that I had created a series of events to happen within the 6th year but also I had re-written a few things here and there - but I won’t tell them all out here since that would detract anyone from reading it.  All I can say is that this witch named Emmanuelle is more like a new guide for Harry.

Also, as a small fact, Emmanuelle isn’t a character I created.  She is a character from another book by a woman named “Emmanuelle Arsan” who wrote about this woman who had various escapades into sexual discovery.

Anyway, the only thing I did to this one is the addition of the titles - which was rather tricky as far as the part that read “and the Witch named Emmanuelle” because I wanted it to be elegantly written.  Similar to the woman herself: elegant.
