This is the colored version of a lineart that I had jagodibuja do for me.
To give you a little background about her, her name is Emmanuelle, as the title says, and sheβs a character from a French erotica novel of the same name. As well as a series of movies based on that book staring Sylvia Kristel. However, this particular version is from a series of movies in which Emmanuelle, after losing her friend in a tragic car crash, goes to Tibet for spiritual solace. While sheβs there, she is told that sheβs been chosen to be the βReincarnation of all womenβ. To do this, she was given a special perfume that allows her to become young again as well as βenter the soul of another womanβ. And so, with this perfume, she sets about the world, seeing old friends and meeting new ones and getting involved in their love lives and essentially fixing broken relationships.
The tricky part about coloring this picture was mainly the hair. Because the hair was wavy, it was tricky to figure out where the shadows as well as the highlights would lie so I just went by feel on it.
In this picture, I also attempted to digitally paint a cherry but thanks to some images I found here and there, it wasnβt as hard to do. Though, why did I pick a cherry? If youβve seen the cover of the original Emmanuelle film, youβll see a cherry on it placed suggestively above a set of lips. So, I threw that in as a homage to the original.
Note: All character(s) depicted here are 18 years of age or older
