GORGEOUS! An homage to one of my favorite X-Men covers

What a beauty. A more mature and refined White Queen. Frank Quitely is the greatest.

Quitely inking himself is a special treat. Thin hair and outlines in those fine needlepoint inks.

Malcolm will correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that's ink. Frank usually uses a 2H soft graphite pencil over his preliminary blue pencil layout and then has a digital inker do a light and dark scan of the final drawing, using the photoshop contrast and layer tools to blend the two scans for publication.
I think I like this better than the original published cover. I know that Frank was unhappy with changes that Townsend (and the four other inkers) did to the eyes and other subtle details on his New X-Men run. This redo is probably closer to what he had intended be published and it looks great. The zipper positions are a really nice touch. Quitely has no peer.

Yes, it's pencils over bluelines. I likely heightened the contrast for the scan - the bluelines and lighter pencils are clear on the oriignal art.

Having done technical drawing thats too dark for a 2H, which is a light shade. Might be a 2B or above? 2B or not 2B? That is the question, Marcus.

As good as, if not better than, the famous cover. Congrats!

Better! (Just had a look at it.)
I agree. Softer. I should market it as a recreation!! (I also wonder how her costume stays on....)

I note, without surprise, that Emma is still half zipped.

Exactly the commission I'd have asked for.... and it turned out perfect.
