Been on a kick where I grab some old commissions I’ve purchased & putting some color to them. This is a commission I got back in 2017 from Clayton Henry. If you follow Clayton you know how ridiculous his colored pencil work is. So I got inspired to give it a try. Was a blast!

@ClassicXMen Such an awesome cover by Silvestri.

@retneysholocron @snoogans2434 @geekusfilm Curious. Is there a book or two that you can recommend that you really enjoyed that is centered around Luke? Would love to pick up a few stories outside of the movies.

Wanted to mess around with some water color on the background. No idea what I’m doing w that stuff but learning.
Copic markers on the characters.
Did the like work on the iPad a few weeks ago. Based off Art Adam’s Annual Uncanny X-Men 12 cover.

@ClassicXMen Great time. This is right when I started my obsession of all things comics/X-Men.

This is awesome. Outside of the great colors, I love the muted background that Matthew added. A great nod to Rogues first appearance in Uncanny X-Men!

Colossus - Outback Era
I did a commission a few years back and this was the initial version of Piotr that I did. The client wanted a version that had the classic Byrne suit (and smiling) so I altered the line work. (Actual commission line work/pre shading in 2nd picture)

[Brian Vander @vander11chi]

@mistergeezy @ClassicXMen My favorite era!

[Brian Vander @vander11chi]
