Description
Wolverine & Jubilee circa 1993. Well. Mostly.I love Jubilee. Such an underrated character. Mainly due to the fact that she was annoying as hell at the time but in hindsight she was a lovely breath of fresh air in the X-Men team...
Not as goody-goody as Kitty and not as day-time-TV as Angel Salvatore. She was a child of the times and a fantastic side-kick for Logan.
Also of note. The Sentinel. It's based entirely upon Jack Kirby's original cover for X-Men 14 [link] .
I love Kirby's Sentinels and don't think they've ever been bettered. They're one of his classic 'Big Head' designs like Galactus and MODOCK. The only artist who came close was Frank Quitely with his take on Master Mold [link]
My take on Wolverine here is probably the most traditional I've done in a few years. He even has his signature mask here although it's hanging from his collar down his back.
I did my usual thing of adding a few seems and zips here n there to make his uniform look more like tough leather rather than Lycra.
I went about his burns in a similar way to Movie Logan with a more trim hair do.
Don't know why I put in the New X-Men logo. Just like it and felt that this was a point where the X-Men felt quite fresh and new too.
I'm quite surprised that Morrison didn't use Jubilee, actually. She seems like the kind of character he loves writing.
Work is Fountain Pen on Bristol Board with colour in Photoshop 7.
