| Batgirl/Cassandra Cain by Mark Dos Santos MoiraMacTaggert DC Comics 2009/2/13 13:21 3777 8
Another comissioned coloring job, and my first DC lineart I've done--this piece is incredibly detailed. Almost fanatically detailed. It loses a lot in the resize down from hi res, but is still an interesting take on the character.
Meanwhile, I've just teamed up with a new line artist (I'll show you later), so you should see me around more!

| Black Canary MoiraMacTaggert DC Comics 2005/11/21 11:38 4001 8
I do believe this is the first actual manip I've posted here, rather than my usual style, and not from my usual comic company. But it'd been awhile since I posted anything--figured it was time.
The lovely Charlize Theron as Black Canary. |

| Dark Phoenix by Randy Green colored by Moira MacTaggert MoiraMacTaggert Marvel Comics 2008/12/24 9:12 4374 15
Another quickie coloring piece, this time from a pencilled convention sketch. I'm experimenting with a blend of my two coloring styles to come out with something between cartoon and realistic. Still have not reached the balance I want, but it's fun in the trying of it.
And meanwhile, I've got another Phoenix piece in my portfolio now. Because clearly, I didn't have enough. |

| Dresden Files: Murphy MoiraMacTaggert Other Comics 2009/4/27 16:56 3258 8
Okay, so if you only know The Dresden Files by the television show, or if you just know it by the comics rather than the books they're based on, this might seem a strange interpretation of Karrin Murphy, the cop buddy of wizard Harry Dresden. This is how Harry sees her, when he's viewed her with his Wizard's sight (third eye). An avenging angel.
Hand drawn, then colored in PSP. Which only served to remind me that I'm MUCH better at the computer aspect than the sketching, in the end. Oh well. |

| Gambit - A Light in the Shadows MoiraMacTaggert Marvel Comics 2007/12/30 10:49 2830 11
The fourth image in my Light in the Shadows series, this one actually came after a specific request sparked the idea. Gambit, unlike the three previous entries in this collection, is by no means a hero. Where Phoenix, Storm and Nightcrawler are lit, picked out of the shadows by their own ability, Remy's light is little more than a candle's glow.
What better way to depict a character so enigmatic as the cajun thief, always suspected (and sometimes confirmed) as the traitor?
Painted in PSP in the style of Phoenix and Storm. Original was posted (today!) at my DeviantArt account. |

| Gambit by Joe Eisma colored by MoiraMacTaggert MoiraMacTaggert Marvel Comics 2009/4/3 14:58 2273 4
My second collab with Joe--and look, a male character for once! |
|
| Jubilee by Jamie colored by MoiraMacTaggert MoiraMacTaggert Marvel Comics 2008/2/22 13:56 2888 8
Another commissioned color job, this time of Jubilee. She's intended to be appx 20-years-old, and colored more vibrantly than my usual pallette.
Original line art had no shading, etc, as per the usual for the artist. |
|
| Mockingbird by Jamie colored by MoiraMacTaggert MoiraMacTaggert Marvel Comics 2008/12/12 9:00 2873 8
Another line art piece by Jamie, this time just for fun. Mockingbird of Marvel Comics/Avengers/West Coast Avengers fame, in honor of her return. Mock's one of my favorite characters, second only to Moira, and has been dead for a good long time now. Because Marvel likes to spite me, and likes to kill any competent, intelligent, sarcastic kickass unpowered women in their comics.
Colored in PSP, while holding an infant in my lap. So it's probably not my best work, but I'm just thrilled to be doing any art again. |

| Nightcrawler - A Light in the Shadows MoiraMacTaggert Marvel Comics 2005/3/4 6:56 2754 7
First posed in Daz Studio, and carried over to PSP for all coloring, effects, details, etc. This image is purposefully dark because of the series it is in, but also a little darker than I like because I switched monitors and have since noticed it looks much different on other's screens. Like all of the ALitS series, this is circa the Dark Phoenix saga. |
|
| Phoenix - A Light in the Shadows MoiraMacTaggert Marvel Comics 2005/3/3 13:28 3612 12
The first of the Light in the Shadows images, this entire image was created in PSP with naught by my mouse and a lot of patience. |
|
| Phoenix Comic Style MoiraMacTaggert Marvel Comics 2005/3/11 12:03 2838 6
I drew the image 10 years ago, added the color a year or so after that for online use, and touched it up a few months later. Voila--my first digital image, and inspiration behind the "A Light in the Shadows" Phoenix ten years later. |
|
| Phoenix Rising MoiraMacTaggert Marvel Comics 2007/12/30 18:52 2651 6
Another color-job based on Jamie's line art, though this one was mostly for me (and thus not quite as 'polished' as the Rogue piece). Original line art at http://windriderx23.deviantart.com/art/phoenix-71763599
And in case you don't look, as with Rogue, there is no shading, effects, etc in the orignal line art. It's my fixation with fire, not Jamie's. |
|
| Poison Ivy by newbachu colored by Moira MacTagger MoiraMacTaggert DC Comics 2009/2/14 22:45 3459 8
Happy Valentine's Day, folks.
Quick color job--not as precisely polished as it probably will be, because I only have five minutes left in the day for it to still officially qualify as a Valentine. |
|
| Rogue - Plainclothes MoiraMacTaggert Marvel Comics 2007/12/30 18:35 2624 8
Okay, so we'll do color-jobs too, then! I don't mind. I don't have too many uploaded, though, but it'll give me a bit more frequent a presence here than every eight months with a new Light in the Shadows pic.
Comissioned color job, original line art by Jamie (windriderx23), for a client who then had me lay on the colors. PSP, as always.
For the original line art, if you're terribly curious, head to Deviantart and Jamie's account - http://windriderx23.deviantart.com/art/rogue-72434940 |

|
| Spiral Comic Style MoiraMacTaggert Marvel Comics 2005/3/11 12:05 2470 4
Like Phoenix, another oldie. Spiral, of Mojoverse fame. Hand drawn, Scanned in, colored, and with an edited Mojo face as the background. |
|
| Storm - A Light in the Shadows MoiraMacTaggert Marvel Comics 2005/3/3 13:31 4095 12
The second of my Light in the Shadows series, this is the X-Men's very own Storm. Created entirely in PSP, in the same fashion as Phoenix. |
|
| Storm Desktop Background MoiraMacTaggert Marvel Comics 2006/7/8 20:16 2937 11
I'm back! I'll be posting new stuff soon, but to tide you over and throw in on the Storm Week, a desktop background of the Light in the Shadows Ororo. |
|
| The White Queen by Joe Eisma colored by Moira MacTaggert MoiraMacTaggert Marvel Comics 2009/2/18 15:48 3616 5
I just got to team up with a brand new line artist, Joe Eisma, and this is the first image from that collaboration--Emma Frost, ala the Hellfire Club years.

| Zoe - Firefly MoiraMacTaggert TV and Movies 2007/11/6 19:49 3429 15
Hand Drawn to PSP, a comic style image of Serenity's terse second-in-command, Zoe. |
