Description
Who doesn't like Nightcrawler. Well I redrew the current cover of Manifest Destiny #4. I want to see that Nightcrawler with his original "specs", 3 fingers 2 toes, because the current one as 4 fingers and 3 toes. I just thought it looked strange.:Edit:
The colors of this are not accurate.

the yellow and green in the corner are quite curious but the nightcrawler himself has a great pose. I like the etchy cloud background

Hello! Here's all the feedback this piece got at our Critique Night.
I hope it is helpful!
"What an interesting concept! Only, what really bothers me, and takes a lot of impact in my opinion, is the mixture of "soft" watercolor on the tower, "rough" watercolor in the background and ink on the figure. I would really keep the ink/soft watercolor, because the dark makes the figure look really menacing and towering over the viewer. I like his hair very much, just as the anatomy and the feet - it is such a powerful, but easy pose. A great villain! Only the tail seems a bit weird. That it's blue let's it vanish before the background, it deviates it from the body. But overall it's a great concept with good ideas, and nicely done!"
"I love Nightcrawler 
"The simple and rugged look appeals to me. I like the contrast between the areas that have flat colors (such as the shadows on his body) as opposed to the way you colored the sky, which its powerful brush strokes. Also, wonderful work on the dramatic lighting. The one thing I'd like to suggest is sticking to a color palette for the whole image. Dark colors, like the gray blues used for the sky and the browns used for the tower make a wonderful contrast with the yellow base of the structure, but that vivid green spoils it all. It also ruins the mood, as the viewer is confused whether we are dealing with a nocturnal scene (as the colors would suggest) or a day one (as the tiny patch of green implies). In the future, pay attention to such chromatic details, and your work will have a coherent flow."
