Description
A fun looking challenge for the Deviant Universe that I couldn't really pass up, especially after seeing some amazing entries from fellow members. I just had to take a crack at it too.I chose to base my entry on this old cover of Spider-Man [link] by Sal Buscema (Thanks Kost)
The actual image was easy to make, it was all the comic features that took so long. I'm sorry I didn't do the floating heads, as it was tempting, it just would have taken me ages. If I do another entry I will probably add some then
Hope you all like it, I know its not exact to the original spiderman cover but its close enough I feel. Looks like Slamma13's Rok is giving my poor Blaze a bit of a rough time. I'll make sure my gal looks more on top of her game in the next one if I have time to make another cover
Blaze belongs to
Hevy Rok belongs to

Maybe so, as part of the challenge though, we had to base the image on front comic cover images, hence the posing and what not.

So you really went for it, too
Good choice, very dramatic.
I don't blame Hevy Rok, though.
Who wouldn't wanna hug Blaze?

Thanks. Yeah, I'm hoping Blaze finds a way to sneak out of this situation. You never know though, maybe it never occurs, you know what comic covers can be like at times

Oh yes, I know! Scenes that never ever occur in the actual comic

I remember one comic had one of my fav X-Students flying on the cover... and she can't fly

I was wondering if you were going to try one of these, and I'm glad you did, cause it's fantastic work! I'm also curious, did you doing the drawing of Blaze in the bottom left hand corner? Again, marvelous work!

You're quite welcome, and it is indeed an amazing drawing! Have you ever thought of doing an homage to this Elektra cover -> [link] ? She's even holding her hands perfectly to carry guns! I always wondered why he rendered her holding sais that way, as you would never carry them that way in your hands under any situation.

Maybe. I was hoping to include a few more characters though in my next entry. If I have time for a third I may take a crack at it

Well, if you're wanting to include more there's always the cover for Marvel's Contest Of Champions -> [link] , or the cover to Infinity Guantlet #3 -> [link] , plus there's also The X-Men Vs. The Teen Titans -> [link] , or the cover to Classic X-Men #1 -> [link] with the cover drawn by Art Adams!

Eep! My poor PC wouldn't be able to handle that many peeps I don't think XD I was thinking four or five people

Avengers, X-Men, Teen Titans, and Fantastic Four covers would probably be your best bet, as they frequently display that many characters on a cover!
