Fuck Yeah Nightcrawler

A Tribute to the Greatest X-Man

Nightcrawler
He was a gift and I couldn’t be happier with how he turned out.  I try my best to keep these captions short so it looks cleaner in a reblog but here a few notes.  There’s a little Errol Flynn in his face as well as some facial hair to jazz him up a little and make him more “mine.”  There’s also some digital kisses that aren’t in the original painting like subtle color shifts to imply sun fading and wear.  I wanted to showcase his mutant powers in a fun way so I came up with this composition.  Sure, he ends up doing the silliest, shortest, most frivolous teleportation he’s probably ever done and it comes off looking a little more “phasing-through-walls” than I’d intended.  But I think it’s a playful looking piece and I’d love to hear your thoughts!

My top five X-Men, yearbook style. 80s represent!! 
Colossus / Rogue / Nightcrawler / Shadowcat / Phoenix (in no particular oder)
It’s nice to imagine them as awkward high school dorks, not just as the post-atomic supermodel demi-gods they grew up to be. 
A drawing exercise too fun not to do. Inspired by Kris Anka, Evan Shaner, Russel Dauterman and others.

A column I wrote inspired Evan Shaner to draw this, which inspired Kris Anka to draw this. So I figured why not? I don’t draw that much anymore, at all. And I hate that development in my life. So I banged these out very, very quickly.
I truthfully spent way more time picking my five favorite X-Men. I’m glad that Madrox and Siryn have never been official X-Men, because omitting Gambit, Boom Boom and Warpath was already hard enough. 
For the record, that’s classic/current Rogue, Capullo X-Force Cannonball, classic Nightcrawler, Pollina X-Force Domino, and Cassaday Astonishing Kitty.

My five favorite X-Men, as drawn by me very quickly late last night.
