Description
Took awhile, but I finally finished. I wasn't happy with my original drawing of Banshee, so I did some work on him. Originally, I had a Controller holding Lilandra, for some reason and I started adding in the Fatal Five, later. I reworked it so Tharok is the one holding Lilandra and the Legionnaires are all in the Emerald Empress's thrall.
I did this on 11X17 Bristol board, it was easier to work on it, in my limited workspace, and it gave me the advantage to use the slight difference in proportion to draw Phoenix, Colossus and Banshee into the scene. I was going to fill the sky with ships, but it would have been too tedious and cluttering, in an already crowded scene.
I also made some modifications to the background. In the original Dave Cockrum drawing, there are strange, alien buildings in the background and lots of weird plants that look like the fake plants on Star Trek (Original Series) or something. Since the alien city never plays any part in the story, I decided that a planet with a giant crystal mounted on a retro-tech pedestal should have crystal mountains, crystal everywhere, even the "grass" is crystal.
