It would be cool to do a faux movie poster along these lines, but there won't be time for that. I'm leaning toward not using this for the cover, because it doesn't really add anything to the original photo (and I'm embarrassed by that poorly done arm) but I thought it might be okay for show-and-tell here. I haven't painted anything in a long time, so it was fun.
I really want to put him in that brown and orange costume that John Byrne designed, mask and all; and then cover his arms, shoulders and chest with the copius body hair he had back in the day.
Hopefully, someday, they'll make a cgi X-Men movie with the characters designed to look exactly like the Byrne and Austin X-Men. The comic geek in me would think that would be ultimate super-hero movie bliss.
The End.

Hey man , that kicks !
ReplyDeleteI was impartial the brown/orange costume as well. Paul Smith who I think followed Byrne , did a pretty decent Wolvie too.
P. Smith's W had a good look about him. Y'know, I think it's hard to find an un-cool Wolverine. How can you go wrong? Pointy eared mask. Beer can in one hand, a cigar clenched in his teeth. Hairy ol' arms and claws that cut through anything. He was calling people "Bub" before anyone else did.
ReplyDeleteSome versions were, of course, cooler than others but even the lamest W is probably pretty danged cool by most standards.
Wow! Impressive!
