Silas Zee: Jem is Her Name!

Jem is Her Name!

2012.06.26

Jem is one of those characters I'm always asked to draw, and most of those requests come from guys. I was kicking around ideas for new TFcon 2012 prints and Jem seemed like a really cool idea. That and it was just a fun, bright and happy piece to work on. :3

Pop stars like to point. I'm not sure why, but they do. I guess it rubs off because a pointing pose was what this started as from the get-go. If you look closely at the pencils you can see that originally I had her body turned the other way. I snubbed this idea because she seemed to closed off and I found that opening up the view of her upper body made the pic seem more energetic. And the hair...what can I say? Big ass pink cotton candy hair? Yeah, that shit's fun to draw and color.

To top it off I threw in some shadows and a bunch of sparkles to 1980's this sucker up.

Yeah. I need to draw Jem and the Holograms more often. XD
