“I Too Shall be Saved by Love”
Corel Painter and Wacom Tablet - 10+ hours
A repaint of my favorite (serious) comic cover featuring Vision, The Vision (2015) #7. I’ve had this piece planned for over a year and this week’s art challenge was to do this, so I had no excuse. I’m so glad I finally painted this; I really love how it turned out.
If “Working Theory” had a cover, this would be it. “Working Theory” is my (insane) fan work focused on the White Vision. It’s canon-divergent as of Multiverse of Madness, and draws from the comics to flesh out the recovery I wish Vision had been given in the Comic 616-Verse and would like to see in the MCU. You can find it HERE if interested.
I ended up deciding on Age of Ultron, Civil War, WandaVision, and Multiverse of Madness designs for Wanda. I skipped Infinity War/End Game becuase I prefer brunette Wanda and it’s the same outfit as Civil War. I also thought about doing Halloween Costume!Wanda or black and white 50s!Wanda, but decided against it since The White Vision wouldn’t necessarily be aware of them. Finding reference of all the outfits was probably the hardest part of this piece, and I was very thankful for my Scarlet Witch Hot Toys figure to pose as my model for the angles. Wanda’s magic effect was done with some fancy brushes that are lots of fun to play with.
The halo effect is taken from some transparent overlays emulating JARVIS. Originally I wanted to use JARVIS’s hologram design, but couldn’t get a clear enough HD reference to look nice and this was more aesthetically pleasing in the end.
Here Original Cover used as inspiration:
(My favorite not-serious cover is Avengers Spotlight #23, Vision Goes Hollywood. You can see it as my banner on this blog and I do have a repaint of it in the works to finish eventually)
