She is drumming up a Storm! Went with something fairly straightforward - A drummer who was able to control thunder/lightning. I chose Storm from Marvel's X-Men, specifically the Halle Barry version from the 2000s X-Men movies. I uploaded the wrong version as I had a better image showing her soaked in the rain, and slightly better electrical visual effects, but it probably won't matter much. Was hoping to get into top 25 and was nicely placed 25th out of 54 entries. So I guess it is an acceptable result.

About this image

This striking cinematic fantasy artwork depicts a powerful female heavy metal drummer with short platinum hair, poised to play an enormous glowing drum kit crackling with bright blue lightning bolts. The scene is set on a rain-slicked urban rooftop under a roiling thunderstorm, with jagged lightning streaking across the dark cloudy sky and lit downtown skyscrapers visible on the distant horizon. The high-energy, dramatic composition blends rock concert aesthetics with supernatural storm themes, using moody dark tones contrasted with vivid glowing electric blue highlights.

Yes she is! Well, I chose the movie version from the 2000s (played by Halle Barry), not sure how many people knew about her though 😅

Thank you! Was going to have look up the actress! Only because you chose that version did I recognize her!

Didn't recognise the character, but loved the scene and picked it - great drum kit and lightening

I'm not too up on comics, but I suspect this is Storm?
