11" x 17" illustration of the X-Men charging forward against an unseen enemy similar to X-Men # 107 Pg. 1 and/or X-Men #126 Cover.

Please include the following characters:

- Cyclops with optic blast firing
- Nightcrawler
- Wolverine with claws popped in costume from X-Men # 139
- Colossus
- Storm
- Phoenix with Phoenix effect

Please have Cyclops, Wolverine, Phoenix, and Storm most prominent

Orientation and background is up to you

Unfortunately, a big ol' OOPS! in this one. I read the instructions as X-MEN 129 -- probably some kind of "echo" from the 126 reference -- so Wolverine is in the wrong suit. Should have realized 129 was far too specific a reference -- nothing special about Wolverine's costume in that issue.

Ah, well. Perhaps the customer will be forgiving. . . ?

That's beautiful, JB. Really like the composition. Your Storm is one of my favorites.

LOVE your X-MEN, JB!! (Love your interpretations of every Marvel, DC, etc., character, but I have a particular fondness for your take on the X-Men from this era)!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! 

It has been long time since I saw the real X-MEN. A very nice way to end the year. I hope the commissioner overlooks the oops and says it is alright because that is one sweet piece of art.
