Well, I tried to fix this based on a model making the expression that didn't come out right in the original and this is the result.

I've been trying to fix this panel for weeks. It was endless drafts to fix the expressions and respect the style. And for my mental health, this was the best of all the ones I did.

Every time Alien: Lovesick comes to my mind I think of two things: If the purpose was to make this scene sexy without taking away the defiance, it fails. Second thing, I got sick trying to fix the rear of the body on this panel. Oh, and the chin.

Today I was in my spiritual retreat drinking tea and reading comics when I came across an issue drawn by Humberto Ramos. I'm not a fan of his art, but I'm sure Mary Jane is upset that she can't breathe with that small waist.

The only thing I didn't see fit to touch were the boots, I have the same ones.

Emma Frost from Age of Apocalypse (cover) by Humberto Ramos.

I had the intention of fixing it, which is not easy personally but it was clear that I did not feel comfortable seeing Emma without organs, a crazy bust and a deformed neckline. I wanted to adapt to the drawing style and her body posture, I got something like this. The only thing I didn't touch was her face.

My edit | Original

I've always thought X-Men: End Song might have been a beautiful comic if Greg Land wasn't so Greg Land? I know there are a thousand examples to demonstrate his characters' facial expressions out of context and in bad taste, but this scene in particular makes me very anxious.

I love Jean Grey, and asking Wolverine to kill her was supposed to be a painful moment both for her request and the suffering of dying and reviving for the Phoenix's rebellion. On the other hand, she just asks Wolverine, who loves her.

But I wanted to try and fix that expression on Jean's face. It's not a great job but I doubt it's any worse than Greg Land telling us: That's how you suffer.

I gave it personal touches like blood because it's not pretty to have claws going through it.
