Description
A piece of the promo art for Upperdecks Marvel VS series.Good ol Colossus. He's the only character that I accept the "Colossus effect" on. That effect being the embossed parallel lines that wrap around his metalic body. It has to be one of the most tacky design elements I've ever seen, and erks me whenever I see it used on another character. But Colossus was the first character I ever saw that really used this design element, so for me its okay for him to still employ it.

this is a cool pic, and while i mostly agree with you about the "colossus effect", i think there are two other characters on which it is okay. cable & magog!

Next to Wolverine, Colossus is defiantely the coolest X-man. Great work on this one, I love how you made the metal shine, something I can never get right.

always reminds me of the armour worn by Roman Legionaries. "Loraca Segmenta" I think it`s called.

I think this is the best one of the series so far and by far.
Classic character and pose.

Yeah, it was like suddenly everything made of metal in Marvel or Image had to be drawn that way...
I'm gonna steal your "shiny metal" effect for my swords

Now, I'm going to say first that I haven't seen Colossus in a long time so my opinion is probably skewed here but this is probably the best fanart I've seen of him bar none. It's clean, well defined and his character shows through in every line. He's badass (no doubt) but clean cut and ready to rumble, everything about this picture is perfect. I will put a hat on and take it off to you sir. Well done.
As a matter of curiosity, how much time did it take to sketch this, I've heard of people doing iterative sketches to get a good feeling for proportion and pose (etc) did you do that with this image?

But Cable/Cyberforce/Omega Red looks so neat.
Seriously though, just when I think you can't get any cooler, you go and rag on one of the many cheesy, uninspired, overused character "design" elements that plagued comicdom in the nadir of its history. (i.e. the 1990's)
Bravo man. Now get back to drawing chicks like we expect.

I like the way you did the "Colossus effect", I don't think I've seen it done that way before. I really like this pic, +fav.
