Another character I came to late, I believe around the time the mantle was being picked up by Renee Montoya, although I knew of them from the pretty stark, faceless design.

I wanted to play with the typical “The Question appears from a cloud of smoke!” elements often seen in the comics. I added the smoke trailing off into a question mark as a nod to the character’s name and mystique.
I just love smoke elements. I love adding the colour and subtlety, adding the colour holds and grit, and just how they add to a picture. Nothing too drastic on this picture. I’d already added pretty defined shading at the inking stage so I just extended on that a bit and focused on adding some depth to the whole piece.

Here they are, the final batch! I actually finished these early but got occupied with work and with colouring each and every one of these entries. That's right, I have 31 new colour illustrations to post!

I'm proud of having accomplished that, this is the first monthly drawing challenge I not only finished during the month, but early!
