GREAT idea! I had Arthur do a Warlock for me during the CGC event last year and he killed it! I know he's also a huge fan of drawing monsters - especially Godzilla; so, combining the two is genious!
Well done!

As the proud patron of both the inks (by Corey King) and color rendering by Steve, I can tell you that this piece is prominently displayed on the door of my comic room - The Danger Room! Steve is always great to work with - having done 19 color rending commissions (including this one), I can honestly say that each one was better than the last! This one was a lot of fun as Steve and I had a healthy dialogue about how to manipulate the gradient background to really help the characters pop off the page. Add to that the fact that this is an homage to the late, great Dave Cockrum and one his earliest interpretations of the Gen2 team of X-Men; and it's clear why this piece holds a special place in my personal collection.
This was a very special and unique commission request that started with Philip Tan - who did the original pencils and inks. The inspiration was my love for all things X-Men and being a HUGE fan of John Byrne. I asked Philip to pay homage to the classic Byrne cover for FF #249, but instead of the FF - I asked him to add my favorite X-Men. Tan crushed it, of course; but it was Steve's colors that really brought the piece to life. Steve was incredibly flexible and supportive to collaborative feedback, and the end result was spectacular!
As the proud owner of the original inks (by Adelso Corona) and the patron of the color commission by Steve, I can tell you with great pride that this is the centerpiece of my private collection and is prominently displayed in my comic room. Steve is an OUTSTANDING talent and is a genuine joy to work with! Highly recommended.
