Psylocke, again.



A while ago I did a version of Psylocke from when she first appeared as an X-Man in the eighties. Here she is as she appears today, in her Japanese body (long story)

I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but one of my gripes with comics is that so few artists focus on ethnicity. Is someone is asian, they're usually just drawn with exaggerated slanted eyes or sometimes without any identifying markers. Why bother having a character of a different ethnicity if you're just going to draw them all the same? Anyway, hopefully this Psylocke does indeed look Japanese and not generically Asian, and hopefully not Caucasian with slanty eyes.

Also, here's a sketch of old fashioned Psylocke. I think I might ink and color this, so look out for that.
