One last post for today! Got the time-lapse attached below and above a handful of the prominent references I used for the piece.
That "After Hours" picture was what I pulled from for the pose. I love the sexy, laid back, come-hither vibe of it which to me feels very Nightcrawler. Of course I always pose it in 3D in Magic Poser App. I ended up changing the legs in the end because I got into the pose myself, and that's what my legs naturally wanted to do. Another great tip, get in a pose yourself, look in the mirror and see what your body does!
I'm also very jealous of that hair ref.
