Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Gene Gonzales – Part 6: Emerald Empress

Review: Dr. Horrible

From the moment Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog hit the intardwebz, fans of musical comedies, with a superhero hook have been in seventh heaven. While there have been a couple of attempts to tell a Dr. Horrible origin story, the official take on the villain’s past can only be found in the pages of Dr. Horrible #1 from Dark Horse Comics.

Review: Nola #1

Scorned and left for dead by the man she thought she loved, Nola Thomas returns to the flooded city of New Orleans a different woman than she was prior to the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina. What sequence of events could change a beautiful woman looking for love to a scarred woman looking for revenge?

Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Gene Gonzales – Part 6: Emerald Empress

By: Stephen Schleicher | October 22nd, 2009

Who says we only have to feature the heroes from the Legion of Super Heroes universe? Today’s Gene Gonzales entry features The Emeral Empress from the Fatal Five. He’s a great character and rendered well by Gonzales, and thanks to 52, we now know where the Emerald Eye of Ekron came from.

The Empress and the Fatal Five were created by Jim Shooter and Curt Swan. This image was done in ink on 11″ x 17″ Strathmore Bristol Board. And then colored in Photoshop. This is a rather quick color job. After I resized the file for the web I started playing with the color. Which just means if I ever wanted to print this out I would have to start over with a higher resolution. But for now this will do.
