Beautiful art Fokken! Is Bling! going to keep the all-white costume, or is it just unfinished? 'Cause I kind of like the all-white on her, as if to say that she doesn't need colorful on her clothes, she *is* colorful. (It really makes her purple-gemstone flesh pop!)
I love how everybody has a unifying theme to their costumes, but they are all different, not just the 'New Mutants' original black and gold look.

Thats a damn good roster for a book. Hell if we could have Blindfold as mission control or the Cuckoos it would be perfect. Instead we are fetting Children of the Atom. WTF Marvel??[/QUOTE]
Yall still on this Children of the Atom hate train?

One of the greatest things I've ever seen?
-
Wow nice work!! You are talented! Is that the final cast or you have some surprises? The sand and wind effect are well done, i'm curious to see how you can handle fire and water !!
-
Spectacular work as usual, Fokken! The kinetic pose and foreshortening on Anole are so well done, the rendering of Dust's sand is amazing, and, of course, everyone's hair is gorgeous. Julian + Sofia 4 eva!

Thank you Mirai! This is the final cast, sadly. I wanted to include more but the scale and space on the paper just won't afford it. I was so so anxious about the sand/wind so I really appreciate the kind words! (also, fire is super hard)

This is her final design more or less, Sutekh. I included black on her uniform sparingly.

I mean Fokken, what haven't i said about your art that I haven't already said on twitter?
So i'll dust off a img instead

Is the one on the right supposed to be surge ?
I kinda love it.

Yeah, I leaned pretty heavily toward a new look for her.
Kept blue in her hair but minimized and grew it out. Gave her a pair of small static-charge-regulating Krakoa-era bracelets.
-
That is amazing as always, but can I single out how great Dust looks? That sandstorm is just so intricate
I also like the little details you put on her costume

This is looking fantastic! Have to say it's such a privilege watching your art style develop. It looks like you've really got the shape of Rockslide down in a way a lot of Marvel's artists can't, the detail on Dust's dust similar, and I love David's Prodigy/X-Factor costume. Can't wait to see the end result!
I have nothing to corroborate this against, but I really feel like the New X-Men have to be the biggest centre of fan activism, not just in the X-Brand, but across Marvel. I mean, is there any group of forgotten characters who have anything comparable to the wealth of fanart, fanfic, malaise and general begging these kids invoked (who haven't, in some way, gotten a return)?
Basically, a new [I]New X-Men[/I] title is our Snyder cut.

Fokken, this is glorious. You should be a comicbook artist for sure. I know I'd buy your books.

That's a wrap. Thanks for the kind words everyone.
I would have liked to include way more, but my composition/space planning was deeply flawed.
I really wanted to include Hindsight and Morph especially. Oh well. Live and learn. :)
