I loved that you kept with the Kirby red-and-white, verbatim. I'm so used to the blue-and-white, but then against that's post-Sinister, of course.

Also, I want to thank you for giving Archangel magenta heels. I don't know what it is, but I loved that he has magenta heels and, somehow, remains a badass! That's just TALENT, my friend!

actually Kirby had nothing to do with this costume you see....that honor goes to another legend, Neal Adams. and originally even though it looks like the costume is dark blue ( the way i will always think it is) it's actually meant to be black and white.....the black having blue highlights.
the move to red and white, i don't know who's responsible for....i would think it's either Cockrum or Byrne.

as far as those magenta heels go....i can't take credit for that either. Walt Simonson, another legend, designed the original Archangel in X-Factor, and i just ripped off that color scheme and costume.

the only thing i'm responsible for in this design is the way he's drawn.....that's all me

Actually, Archangel in X-Factor, although it's been awhile since I've read them, always had flat feet. It never appeared as though he had boots on, instead it seemed to be just giant body tights over his feet to his head. Sure, he had the magenta toe-tips, but never had heels, per se. Then again I noticed, in the animated series, that Warren isn't that much taller than his father as his normal self, only a few inches more, but when he was Archangel, he completely shadowed over his father. I assume it's the heels, which were taller than all the other males, to make him appear more intimidating, which works! I adored that he finally got to use his metal wings to slice things up! You didn't see that in the 90s series!

you know you had to mention the one main character i didn't do that season!

i believe i had Khary Randolf do that one. i don't even remember what that design looked like...but i'm sure it looked great, that Khary is one talented guy.

Did TPTB especifically told you guys to design uniforms that resemble their X-Men' most iconic costumes? I can't wait for Season 2!

thanks for showing that...i've never seen that before.

TPTB had nothing to do with that direction, that was my decision. i was a HUGE X-men fan, so when i got a chance to try out for the job....that was the direction i took.

i wanted to stick to whatever era i found iconic with that particular character...and put a cool twist to it.

the first three designs i did were Wolverine, Colossus and Cyclops. Avi Arad and Craig Kyle loved what i did. i was lucky. Craig Kyle was very supportive of everything i wanted to do and the direction i wanted to go.

so we've all got to thank him.

i'll have more of my concepts up soon. come back and check them out.
