Guardia - Phantom and Pacifica character study
graphite (guide lines), technical pen
I had just visited the Met's fashion exhibit on Windsor/1930s vogue fashions, which were heavily Asian/Middle Eastern influenced. After making a few sketches from this exhibit, I re-designed Pacifica's civilian guardian uniform (although I haven't abandoned the classic original: brown with the ripped open sholder, I really like that) and drew this rather (?)suggestive(?) picture? Yea she's holding his knee/leg. I dunno, I thought it was appropriate given what happens after Pacifica earns a Guardian rank ^_~ And wow, does Phantom look girly in this picture, for a variety of reasons. If this freaks you out, I suggest you grow up. His femininity in this picture wasn't intentional, though (is it ever?)
I apologize for the page shadow on the side, I scanned this from my (bound) sketchbook, and if I had edited the picture more the quality of the entire picture would have drastically declined. I think it's bearable.
