Awesome piece.
How exactly does a guy made of metal get bitten by a vampire? Shouldn't the vampire's teeth break? Sorry I don't read x-men. You're work is wonderful but the concept is weird to me.

I think the image is pretty solid Mike, and I don't feel like writing a full critique, but I would point out one thing that stands out to me. The shading and values on Kitty are very solid, and quite realistic. By contrast, the work on Colossus seems almost all line-work, and thus it comes off as more "drawn" than Kitty. Specifically, anywhere you've got the hard reflection lines, they're blocky and solid, with little change in the values. That's just my two cents though. Keep up the good work!

This reminds me a lot of John Cassaday's cover of Astonishing X-Men #6. I like it a lot!

I like it.
her expression shows her willingness to succumb. And his shows that he has clearly enjoyed her "gift"

This really reminds me of Alex Ross' picture of the Joker and Harley, just reversed.

Is the pose reminiscent of Cassaday's Astonishing cover on purpose or on accident? XD
Otherwise, this is cool. As always, your watercolors are fare more awesome and precise than mine will ever be.

Don't wanna be a dick, it ook tight,
but what happened to his fingers?

they are "phasing" into Kitty Pryde, who can become intangible.

Yeah thanks Danni there helped me out on that pickle haha.
The answer was actually pretty obvious.
By the way "ook" is "looks",
so I was saying it looks tight hehe.
