Like a Red Dragon, The Phoenix shall Soar in 2024!
Love Sunfire, Synch, Colossus, and Cannonball, best looking group outside of the Dauterman designs. Except for Laura, but I can't say I care very much about that.
Jamie is the only one on that Excalibur page that looks decent, the rest are dull as dishwater.
X-Factor looks great, especially Eyeboy and Prodigy. Except for Daken who is boring. Sniktfam failed across the board.
Mercury looks intersting, the rest of the WoX page not so much, probably should have let someone else design those characters.
It comes from the Hellfire Gala Guide, it will be avaiable tomorrow with all the looks.
Is Dazzler joining Way of X? She's with the rest of Spurrier's cast.
Wonder if Selene will have a costume and also Mystique and Exodus.
WOW so many today! I'm so glad Lucas Werneck got invited to contribute! He's a great designer and you can tell him and Dauterman did way more to incorporate aspects of the characters into their designs. Some thoughts:
Synch - Favorite of the day is hands down!
Sunfire - I love that his mask was made a little more Kabuki-style!
Colossus - He looks hot but I feel like he's the one character that could have been a lot more naked under that coat since he's used to wearing hot pants and boots.
Havok - Not bad, but the loops were done kind of poorly.
Psylocke/Kwannon - Better than the previous look since now we can see the flowers are 3D!
Mystique - Pretty great actually!
Excalibur designs - Honestly Marcus To isn't the most detailed artist, so his designs are pretty much as expected. Glad he went a little more creative with Rictor and Jamie at least.
Daken - Super disappointing and BORING for our normally super stylish casanova.
Eyeboy - Fantastic... and if those are peacock feathers than even more so!
Prodigy - Great, but he doesn't strike me as the winged butterfly type. Would've gone more geometric and architectural.
Gambit - Big MEH
You don't have to love everything, but the fact that you singled out all the ones that are "unconventional" is a little telling.
Like Daken's boring ass design is one of your favs?? Not everything is about men in nice conventional suits and women in pretty dresses.
Just enjoy the ride!
