Description
This acrylic rendering of Nightcrawler will soon receive the digital treatment once I access a scanner of greater quality and size. Layered experimental textures will create haze of rain. I have taken this potential addition into consideration by painting a translucent shower of white raindrops on the character's shoulders and limbs.Nightcrawler's religious devotion and turbulent history were the primary reasons I chose him among the repertoire of characters I'll be painting for fanexpo. Unfortunately, my interpretation does not communicate these as well. It became more of a detailed character profile on a marvel trading card. Perhaps this experience will lead the artistic direction of my character line-up toward stronger originality.

It's a wunderkind! I am VERY impressed! For some reason Nightcrawler really pops out, kudos to your execution with texture. Excellent work!

Man, that's awesome, Danielle. You've really got an eye for texture, that stonework is really nice.
The penance scars are a really nice touch as well.

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't that the guy who can teleport in the X-Men? he's cool! and it's lame they didn't add him in the third film.

Yes, Nightcrawler is a German priest that can teleport. He is featured in the second X-Men film of the franchise. He's such an affable character, I wish he were included in the third film
