11' x 17" illo of Wolverine in the brown costume, no backgrounds. The details are:

- full-body Wolverine with wry smile

- please draw him flicking a cigar with one hand and facing the viewer with claws popped on the other hand

Great smirk on Wolverine and I love the surprise behind his back.

Looks like Wolverine's finished his stogie and is ready to get down to business. Cool!!

I can imagine this is one of those images that is easier to say than to draw, but you pulled it off perfectly. And of course, yours is the definitive version of this character. Heck, you're so good I almost like Wolverine again!

You nailed it, JB. That left arm looks cool. That's a tough position to pull off.

Fantastic JB!!!  No one draws this character better!  I always imagined JB's Wolverine would be the analogue in the live action movie version of this character -- imagine my disappointment.  I like Hugh Jackman, but I would've rather had this representation of Wolverine!

If you ever want to explain to someone the length of Frank Miller's shadow in the industry, point to Wolverine. Despite dozens of other artists drawing him in other ways, it was Frank's "Clint Eastwood" version that Hollywood picked.

Still trying to figure out how JB effectively conveys Wolverine's
shortness -- with no other figures or objects present -- and Spider-
Man's youth (despite his wearing a full-face mask).

Keep this to yourself, okay? Wouldn't want my secrets getting out!

Wolverine is "stumpy", Spider-Man is "awkward".

By way of illustration, here's the same Wolverine image stretched out to more conventional proportions. (Some distortion in the right arm and head.)
