No offense, but the characters colors/uniforms blend in too much. I have to actually take the time to stop and take it all in. and then try to search on google for a much better pic of these characters for their distinctiveness and true colors...

Man,you are so talented and you are working with PAD...You're fucking my idol,maaaannn

Thanks. I don't always work directly with PAD though, it's mostly the editors.

But you do have some contact with him,or only with the editors?BTW,have you redesign some carachter yet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have his email, but everything we do is through the editors because they have final say on what is going on the cover.
I redesigned all the character's costumes for the issue #200 renumbering. I haven't done Wolfsbane, Pip the Troll, Havok or Polaris yet though. The interior artists have also done their own tweaks too.

This is the way it should be, back to when Havok was in X-Factor in the late 80s

I did a double-take (which on the internet is pressing the back button real fast;then pressing the forward button faster) and was like, wait is that Longshot?!

Yeah Longshot has been down with X-Factor for a while now.

I love your style-- your inks are beautiful and unique-- and your colors perfectly accentuate everything!
Always great stuff!

This is great! The perspective is right on. The shadow and lighting, the hair, the cloth. so good!

Thanks Nick; using my usual triad colour scheme to make those secondary colours work.

Beautiful cover, David! Great composition and dynamics. I love this team, especially now that you have Polaris and Havok in it too. It reminds me of the old X-Men, when Silvestri was rocking on them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. Silvestri comparisons are always nice praise. I love drawing Havok in particular with all his power effects (I should have put some Kirby crackle in this piece).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You know,m I always loved drawing him with his power effects too, as a teenager -that's when I got my first Silvestri X-Men, the Hungarian editions. I'm glad to see him and Polaris back on the team.
But the important is that you do a wonderful job in composing them on your covers.

This is awesome!!
Man I wish you drew all the X-factor interiors as well. You really capture these characters so well.
Marvel should release and art book with all your X-factor covers
Maybe one day I'll get to work on the book too haha

I wish I drew the interiors too!
I don't think they'd ever do an X-Factor cover book; I don't think demand would equal necessary pre-orders. But I'd love it if they did.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, that would be awesome, if it ever happens, consider this me pre-ordering the book
Keep up the great work

Just SO good. Man, I wish the interior art on these comics was by you too. Ah well, your cover art is consistantly the best covers I see on the shelf almost every month. You must put so much thought and love into each piece.

Thanks. I try. I'd love to draw X-Factor interiors.
