X-Force in progress.

Originally, this was to be painted traditionally. But I had a change of mind. Digital is more versatile, I can do a lot of adjustments and redo and redo until I get the effect I want. Traditional media like water color or poster color, I get only 1 shot. If I mess up, that's it. I can't paint over it. I can't resize the anatomy, I can't change the perspective, just one shot and I can't mess up.

Anyhow, this is in progress, the grey tones were added to see how the effect comes along and I will do the full color after this.

I started with Wolverine, after that, followed by Psylocke, then, Archangel at the background with his wings spread out. Doing a team pin-up is more challenging than a single character pin up, because composition comes into play. How each character's pose interact with each other. With a character like Archangel, he is better placed at the3 background because of his massive wings. Put him in front, you block out all the others. Wolverine is placed in the middle, because he is the team leader. After that, I worked in Deadpool and Fantamax. I think I like Fantamax's pose the best. Still got the details to work in onto the costumes. For Psylocke, I wanted to give her that Asian ninja look. So, a short knive in front, and her sash is exaggerated a bit to have that Japanese Kunoichi flowing sash look. Note I added the flowing strings to the end of her short-knife too. ^^ Stay tuned.
