I might be more of an anime and manga addict nowadays, but when I was younger I was a (wannabe) X-Men fan. Unfortunately, other then sponging off my brother's vast collection and the buying the odd comic here and there, I simply didn't have the funds to be one ;, so my knowledge of plot lines is extremely patchy.

Drawn because Cyclops was so cheated in X-Men 3 - his parts were completely taken over by Wolverine. I like Wolverine, but not everything's about him; Scott Summers and Jean Grey are a combo like....bacon and eggs, and peanut butter and jam! The Scott-Jean-Logan triangle is only interesting to me when Jean is in love with Scott but attracted to Logan despite herself, and Cyclops was just shunted off to the side in X-Men 3. >:0 Plus, what was with shoving in two huge plotlines from the comics and not covering either properly? Plot-tasticness occurs! Pretty to look at, but the plot just went straight to hell.

Trying a new style of colouring; originally was attempting something in the style of most Image Comics but it wandered off and acquired things from my normal mode of colouring and highlights from :: whose artwork I admire very much. I found blending more smoothly is actually much easier with shape dynamics turned off in PS. I might add the X symbol in the back to frame the two of them later. Cyclops' costume is a weird mix between his movie one and usual comic one.

Some weird things going on with the lineart, (particularly head anatomy, angle of Scott's visor, muscles in general argh) because it was only supposed to be a quick image, and I didn't pay as much attention as I should have during the sketch stage.

EDIT: Background change! Supposedly the X symbol in brushed metal, but you can't really see it, ahahaa.

.....What's up with the categories? No 'comic fanart' category? D
