Okay, so, I did better than I thought.
I bunkered down and was able to finish the piece, and all the variants, in time for a release of today, rather than tomorrow. I'm glad I took the extra time though -- I kept finding little mistakes that I had made, or details that I forgot to add, or color in, so I was able to fix those and finally be happy with the resulting product.
This piece took a LONG TIME -- about twice the amount of time as any standard piece; it probably took me about as long as the Samus piece, except the devoted effort was into the Mind Fracker and Minn-Erva, as opposed to the more detailed background in the Samus piece.
I get really antsy if I'm not accurate to costume design, so I pulled out my "The Art of Avengers Endgame" book, and referenced Carol's costume from the concept art; seriously, the amount of geometric lines and shapes in her costume all depend on each other in a very complex, interactive way, so I did a lot of erasing, and lots of sketching before I went in with the hard lineart to finalize. I could have made the whole process easier by just making up the finer details as I went along, but I feel that it shows -- sure, you would be able to tell that it's Captain Marvel, but I really want to translate that costume as accurately as possible.
Minn-Erva's costume, on the other hand, has a bit of creative liberty; since the only time we see her on film is when she's wearing her Star Force uniform, I figured I'd give her a stripped-down version of that here; the right pauldron, the left gauntlet, and the pants are the only pieces original to her uniform, whereas the top and right sleeve are just matching replacements. Besides, I wanted to give her a bit of a "dom" look, by showcasing her feminine figure a bit more, as opposed to Carol, who is in full costume.
The "Mind Fracker" is used in the Captain Marvel movie to extract Carol's memories -- once I saw that scene (why is she tied up barefoot?), I knew I had to draw something with it. Since I wanted her laying down, as opposed to being strung upside down like in the film, the one in this picture is modified; only the head pieces and the arm clamp are designed from the movie version, with the rest being 100% original. I decided to add a few lights to make it more visually interesting, while still allowing it to keep Carol as the more important visual factor. The little claw things at Carol's feet are currently doing some kind of scanning thing, I guess, but the idea is that they would be able to move in and actually tickle her.

So, I'm very pleased with this piece overall, and I'm happy that no one complained it was delayed by 24 hours. You can find all of the variants attached: clean and dirty for bare, socked, and pantyhosed, a super-dirty version, and lineart.
