Jun 16, 2021 06:06

Title: Hellfire Gala Dauterman's Angel and Captain Britain
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: X-Men (comics)
Pairing: Warren/Elizabeth
Characters: Elizabeth Braddock, Warren Worthington III
Rating: G
Tagline: Captain Britain and CXO Angel reunite at the Hellfire Gala.
About the manip: After like two years since the last time these two were in the same bloody comic title (Betsy meeting an alternate!sexy!Warren and feeling all insecure around him not counting), this panel had me smiling like an idiot. They both look so gorgeous near each other in the Hellfire Gala looks (Warren seems to modeling for a shooting in here, he found his inner!model standing near former model Betsy, I guess) and all that was in the panel (Emma Frost, Bobby Drake, a guest, Jean's telepathy, balloons, people) was in the way. Their magnificence deserved better.
And so I humbly tried, hoping I haven't ruined too much Dauterman's lines.
Notes: Well, nowhere the comic implies they even said hello to each other (I'm mildly angered about it). Just let me indulge myself? I mean, nowadays a Warren/Betsy fan has to do with what little is given. So, I’ll pretend they were hanging out.
This manip has actually been made because after I saw this panel my shippy heart missed a beat and I wanted them alone (and not in the middle of a crowd).
Notes 2: I feel this is rushed (I leave any manip of mine to decant some weeks before feeling ready to post them), but I wanted to post this before Planet-Size X-Men and X-Corp #2 are released, in the (vain) hope that the panel meant that they do talk and the scene is show in one of the titles above (making therefore this manip obsolete and useless). I mean, in Excalibur Betsy's back almost touches one wing (and it's doubtful it belongs to someone else's rather than Warren) and, since the Gala is re-told in all of the titles, I hope this means that at sometime they do interact. (please, Tini: you promised you'd deal with the whole Warren/Betsy elephant in the room! I refuse to acknowledge you meant it with the Betsy's in Queen!Betsy's body founding an half-naked alternate!Warren hanging around in the Queen's rooms like the glorified handsome lover he is).
Notes 3: Transparent png because backgrounds are overrated. You are free to take it to make icons, have fun with adding backgrounds. I did waste an embarrassing huge time on this. with this waste of time of mine! I would like to be credited or at least let me know, so I can see what you did!
And if you need a frame-less version, just ask: I added it because it looked too empty without it.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Abused of the copy/paste and clone stamp tool, plus the help of other Dauterman's arts (see credits under the manip), to turn an actual panel into some kind of pin-up. This is what I did while fighting with a mouse that keeps hiccuping: removed the flute from Betsy's hand and therefore reconstructed a small part of her chest plate; fixed what was missing of Betsy's sleeve after removing Emma Frost from the scene; removed the flashing light of Jean's telepathy on both foreheads, added Betsy's floating telepathy butterflies and, especially, redone almost all of Warren's left wing (and partially his covered arm) because there was a guest in that spot and also a telepathy balloon to cover his magnificent wings.
