11" x 17" illustration of Colossus and Kitty Pryde vs. a bigger, more vicious, more powerful, sibling of the N'Gari Kitty fought in X-Men # 143, no backgrounds.  The details are:

- portrait orientation

- Kitty wearing her "original X-men" apprentice uniform but not wearing the mask

N'Gari is giving Colossus and Kitty all that they can handle

Guess the customer gets a discount, if s/he still wants it!

If that's not perfect, it's about as close to it as you can get!

Grue-Some! That is a fantastic commission and the textures are astounding. Great job, JB. Congrats to the owner.

That is a more vicious looking N'Gari !
I adore pieces that show opposites in texture. So pleasing to my eye.

Love the signature.

Hell, I love the whole thing. Kitty's face, even with the mask, is perfect. And Colossus. Well, there's a reason you're at the top of a very short list of artists that get him right.

Thanks for that!

Two things I have noticed artists getting wrong when drawing Peter. First, they make the articulation lines too close together, and therefore too many of them. Guilty of that one myself, from time to time. Second, they treat his metal skin as chrome. Same mistake many make with the SILVER Surfer.

Love the signature.

This will doubtless feed the myth that when I am dissatisfied with a piece I "hide" my signature bullet in some way.

Kitty is so good in this piece. Love the fingers, even the nasty ones going through Kitty's phased body.
