Description

The X-Ladies in all their regalia rendered masterfully by Steven Defendini! This was not a commission but a pre-done piece. Steven shared that he was working on this on his social media and I was really taken by it. I met him (and his awesome dad) at NYCC this year to set up a different commission but noticed this one was still available and pivoted immediately.

The colors and effects really need to be seen to be believed. I would like to say I understand all the tools he used to achieved the overall look, but I would be lying. It’s wizardry and magic dust. Each time I look at it, there’s something new to discover - including 2 characters in the background I had totally missed. His famous “Taylor Swift as Dazzler” also makes an appearance here. There are 16 total characters on this piece, 14 which are obvious and 2 less so - see if you can spot ‘em!

Hee, hee, hee

X-Ladies always dancin'
And wouldn't be a bad thing
Bet I’m all Gala lovin'
And that's no lie

We spent the night at gown ball
A mutant kind of dance hall
From that night I kissed our love Hellfire

Don't pivot on the good lines
Don't pivot on the moonlight
Don't pivot make it all mine

Jawdropping painting of the woman of the X-Men! Gorgeous work by Steven Defendini. I love how many women he included. I'm also impressed by how artfully they are arranged. And the colors that he chose are sublime! Great pick-up!

Rachel hidden in the shadows alone deserves another comment!

Oh yes, I got all 16, Jubilee. :) But that Rachel is awesome. Love seeing both Psylocke and Captain Britain represented.

Are you really sure there is no Wasp in this? Not a X-Men but could be on scouting mission for new recruits. Or perhaps Ant-Man who is on "scouting mission" for totally different reasons.

That's a nice pic/scan, but I'm sure doesn't do the piece justice as far as being in person! It's like...every color that exists is here, lol. Some fine lookin' X ladies, man. Congrats!

Oh, my stars and garters - that is, indeed, one incredible gala. An absolute cornucopia of texture, color, and lighting, where the whole thing explodes (in the best possible way) in an uncanny frenzy of flame and shadow and sunlight and forest and raw elemental fury. This is absolutely a piece for prolonged and intensive study (what's the size of this, please, Eranga?) and rewards such an exercise - the "hidden" characters being a great case in point (boy, did it take me a long time to find the last one! :) ). Really great pick up, E, worthy of the "pivot" you mention!

Thanks, Jason! This is 17" x 22" so everything has the necessary room to breathe. I figure it made adding the extra characters a little easier too :)
