well after an hour of work this is what i've got done on colossus. I wanted to show him off and I could not resist posting a WIP
Wow, that is amazing work! I am very glad you decided to take this up - you are doing an excellent job.
As Delusional mentioned, I started work on the characters about 6 months ago and got Dazzler, Nightcrawler, Strom, and Wolverine to an
acceptable state. I hope you will be able to incorporate them into the final piece; however, as you are obviously a very talented artist, I will not be offended with whatever you decide to do.
The photo below shows everything I have done up to this point, and I would be more than happy to send any of it, if you require it. I vectorized everything in the image. For the background, I had to import my vector work into Photoshop to get it to tile seamlessly. The scaling may be off on the tiling.
EDIT: I now realize that I put a gradient on the Xmen logo (Which isn't quite how it looks in the original artwork), but that could be easily changed back to the solid gold one. Also, I didn't work to get everything to scale in this image.
Anyway, if there is anything I can help with, I would be more than happy to do so.
Thanks for picking up the project again!
