My Entry To Mizz Worthy's Super Heroes & Villains Illamasqua Contest!



This is my entry to Mizz Worthy's Super Heroes & Villains Illamasqua Contest. My inspiration has come from the infamous X-Men comic villain Magneto (pictured above).



Magneto is a powerful mutant with the ability to generate and control electromagnetic forces and is the X-Men's most prominent enemy. He controls all forms of magnetism and can erect forcefields for protection and can assemble a complicated machine in seconds through his power. Magneto also has the ability to control minds through telepathy. Pretty awsome really!



For my look I was inspired by Magneto's colours which are red and purple predominantly. I also used metallic silver and silver glitter to represent his power to control electromagnetic forces. Silver is the colour that springs to mind when I think of a colour to represent magnetism and forcefields!



So without further ado, here is my own interpretation in make up of the villain Magneto!
