Neat! JB, was it your idea to have Kitty phasing through the floor and
Warren's wings?

Oh yeah that is awesome! I love that costume for Angel! No one does Kitty as well as JB does. Well done, sir! Congratulations to the commissioner!

Phasing through the wings kind of confused me for a moment, to be honest. It made me think somehow Angel's wings were quite easy to push through... but I figured it out.
I do like how Kitty is simultaneously phasing through and stepping up onto the floor. It's one of those things I never considered (since gravity doesn't really seem to impact Kitty when she phases), but something that makes perfect sense when you think about it.

It´s great to see Warren in his good old times. For me, he was the example of a free spirit.

Nicely done. I like the way theres movement, without speed lines. Maybe it's the arc of Angels wings.

My brain just didn't "see" it right at first. Sorry.

Love it! You are consistently good with both these characters. I also like the "interaction" between the two.

JB, was it your idea to have Kitty phasing through the floor and Warren's wings?•• Yup. In fact, that was the moment when the piece "clicked" in my head. As I have mentioned before, winged characters, like Angel or Hawkman, tend to present something of a problem when positioning them with other characters. Their wings take up so much space they mostly have to stand at the back. When I was playing around in my head with ways to address this in this drawing, the idea of playing Warren's wings vertically instead of horizontally flickered by, and in that moment I saw Kitty within the "parentheses" of the wings, reaching out to "phase" thru them.

Love it. You and Neal do the best Angel of anyone, and this is the perfect costume, IMO.
At the risk of thread drift, this piece, with one of the original X-Men and what was once one of the newest, got me thinking about when mutants in the Marvel universe began taking on more extraordinary appearances. Was Nightcrawler the first who didn't look fully human? It seems that since then, it's become more of the rule than the exception, with many mutants featuring bizarre appearances, much like the Inhumans.
I'm curious whether I'm correct that mutants originally were basically humans with an "X-tra" ability but with mostly human appearances. Did that change over the years?
