All phoenix, none of the Jean. This is a much more sinister rendition of Jean Grey when she lost herself to the Phoenix Force. Calloused, almost zombie-like, she decimates the landscape with her psychic powers run amok.
The face is supposed to be how Jean was portrayed at the end of X3. However, her body and costume design is a wholly different beast, a blend of fused metal over a lava shell. She is bursting with her Phoenix persona, way moreso than any cinematic portrayal of her.
What is it about dark, rich, vibrant colors that just soothes my soul? Especially red and gold tones. Man, this is nice to look at. Would love to have seen hints of little bright veins running throughout the darker areas on her outfit, as if her entire body is so hot it won't let anything completely cool, just trying to break out.
i love how this turned out. my version came out lighter though. not sure why unless the file was changed because of the photoshop profile on my work mac.
