I'm interrupting my currently scheduled programming, the "Mother's Day Weekend Beast Marathon" with a glimpse at my next series of costumes, starring Scott "Slim" Summers, Cyclops

Here is the current version of Cyclops from Astonishing X-Men

AMAZING! :D
do you use some sorta program to create them?

AND do you take requests?

[AceOfSpades]

completly amazing. they all capture the essence of each character

[xakko]

see, it *is* possible to make the new cyclops uniform look cool... and less prophylactic

[RonnieThunderbolts]

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the kind words! I'll still be doing Avengers pics as well, and as always, all things Captain America, but the time has come that I will start doing more of Marvel's Merry Mutants in my series as well (they were my first love at Marvel). Colossus seems like my next X-Man, and I'll be doing Hercules as my next Avenger.


AMAZING! :D

Well, let me know who you're interested in, and I may get to them, or bump them on my list, no promises. I draw these in combination of hand drawn ink line art and computer coloring using Photoshop.

Anyway, more soon, a couple more Beasts along with more Cyclops are on their way next...

[ibrakeforchinwe]

RonnieThunderbolts I'm so glad you're doing X-Men now!!! :D

Any way you can make Rachel Summers/Marvel Girl, she showed up in Civil War with all the Avengers :D and I know how much you love the Avengers!

[twilight]

I'll be doing Hercules as my next Avenger.

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!

And then Quasar?

[Jottma]

Wow, all I can say is that the work you have displayed on this page is ASTONISHING! Now me being a fan of the character this thread is based on, did not completely bias my views, so that I could recognize the very real talent you have in creating art.

I really liked your takes on the Astonishing and New X-Men series duds placed on the Evolution bases. It was cool to see that version of Scott dressed in the comic book uniforms of today. I have to say seeing the older Evolution version of Scott dressed in the 90's Jim Lee get up, really shows the ridiculousness of that costume. You really did do something special with that Astonishing outfit, becuase it really does look very cool in the way you presented it.

Since other posters inquired about requests, I thought I might as well also. If and when you feel up to it I would very much appreciate it if you could post your versions of the whole New X-Men cast as a group shot, (Scott, Jean, Henry, Logan, Charles, Xorn, and Emma). If Proffessor X is too difficult than don't worry about him. Thank you RonnieThunderbolts, for sharing your art with us.

jeesh!, how many x's did they need then? there's one every two inches!

[Fabian]

I tried to do a quick sketch of Cyclops in a re-designed X-men costume. I didn't like the way it turned out so I'll probaby come back and do Cylops justice

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-5/1005399/ShitClops.jpg
I wanted to give him a chestpad like soldiers would wear for added protection.

[Barnaby]

Hi, folks!

Here's my shot at Cyclops! ;)

I put two images there, the first one is the pencil drawing. I usually just do this part but since i was in the mood, i did the second one. The inked drawing.

Since i was inking my own work i spared some details in the pencil part, i hope you can forgive me. :) I put the two cause i think it could be interesting and in now way i want to sound presumptuous.

Hope you like it!

That is absolutely awesome Barnaby!!

Good luck with the submssion to Marvel :)

[Jottma]

Barnaby that piece was amazing. The second version is trully captivating. I want to wish all the luck to you. My brother is an aspiring artist who also wishes to work at Marvel. So good luck to you and your dreams.

[Barnaby]

thank you all for your support! Maybe someday we'll meet in the pages of the X-Men! :D Dreaming is easy...... :rolleyes:

[Zombienorthstar]

Ive been tryign to do one of photo manips for Cyke...but it is so hard to find a decent picture of a good looking who wears glasses. Any assitance would be appreciated.

Go to some fancy store website, like Calvin Klein or something, that makes glasses. They'll have.

These all are great, Ronnie, and I love the website! One thing, you forgot two of his looks! There's the Eve of Destruction look (one of my all-time favorites, actually, aside from the second X-Factor costume), and his "Cyclop-alypse" look. I'd love to see your take on those.

[xakko]

cyke's redesign- he's been called the good soldier, and a great leader, so i went with a military look for him

Wow, great job with the coloring. I'd say your colors have improved. I like it. Keep it up, man. How long did this take in all?

[madrox1977]

Well the drawing was done in 1995 and it took me about 2hrs to take out all the stuff i needed to and the colour it..... so altogether it took 12yrs...or two hours on photoshop

It totally rocks! I actually liked most of Ross' designs. They're just a little too shady though.

[Vivica Kang]

Ohhh! That looks nice! Is this a offical uniform?

[Filthy Mutie]

Looks good, and welcome to the X-Boards. I may find a way to make the belt a little less bold. For me, the contrast is a little distracting.

Who did the source art on his face, anyway? Is that Copiel?

I's from the one issue after Cyclops came back, right before Eve of destruction. The ish where Scott and Corsair have bonding time!!! Larocca I believe!

[shadeofblack8888]

Thanks for all your comments, I appreciate it. More info on the art:

What I did was, I took the Alex Ross design:

http://www.alexrossart.com/galleries/xmen/full/cyclops.jpg

Removed the corny X design from the body, as well as the little x and the hooded head.

The head I pasted is from Uncanny 394, penciled by Ian Churchill. The black visor without the hood is definitely the best look.

I designed the new chest X myself.

Finally added the belt from John Cassaday's design:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e6/Cyclopsjc.jpg

The contrast and depth of the belt is a little off, but I didn't spend too much time on it.

If I can find the time I'll work on more characters, with the black/red/silver color scheme and my own X designs.

To whom do you think it would fit better?I'm not sure maybe it's the red that's throwing me off cause i don't recall Cyclops ever wearing red in his uniform.

[Affinity]

The red seems too on-the-nose for Cyclops.

[Perfection/Emma 2]

Love it. Do one for Trance

[Thirteen]

To whom do you think it would fit better?

I can see it working well for Hellion.

[kk1]

Ehh I like the hood, the X-men should have a secret identity and since he constantly wears his glasses no hood makes him too easily identifiable. The costume is too close to Havok's classic black body suit, it restricts the artist. The X is still too big all classic outfits have a small chest symbol not a huge one, think if they were the "C-men" wouldn't a giant C that big look stupid? Oh and if he''s going to wear a belt at least make it hold up his pants, a belt worn for the sole purpose to serve as a fashion accessory is as bad as giving him 90's pouches or a feather boa.

[Anonymous Vagrant]

Looks pretty good but the x on cyke's torso looks a bit corny. The X from Ross' looks better.

[Nevets F]

Your design is a HUGE improvement over both Alex Ross and John Cassady's designs. Great job.

[Jackraow21]

Looks fantastic. I would love to see one for Wolverine in a black and tan. Similar to the Ross design as well, but slightly tweaked. Keep the mask, but short sleeves (Logan always lets his guns show).

It's based on the Alex Ross ink-black uniform, with certain differences: Black visor instead of the hood, a more slick X on the body and the belt from the Astonishing X-Men Uniform (colored silver instead of gold).

Tell me what you guys think about it.

Red and black are my favorite colors and plus it looks totally badass!

. The X is still too big all classic outfits have a small chest symbol not a huge one, think if they were the "C-men" wouldn't a giant C that big look stupid? .

Guess it depends on how you define "classic".
And for the record, I think the graphic "X" lends itself to prominent use in character design in a way that other letters do not regardless of size. When the Avengers tried to incorporate "A" badges into their looks during the Harras/Epting run, it looked wrong.

MAGNETO!

http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/3714/magnetonew.jpg

Once again black, red and silver. Perfect for him.

The source art is pencilled by Jim Lee, the head is from the cover of X-Men 2 and the body is from somewhere in that story.

I wanted to give him a dynamic look without losing any of his majesty.

Most new comers think that Magneto is Ian McKellen's age, but the fact is Magneto is no older than 40 in the comics thanks to his de-aging to infancy and later being restored to his prime.

I didn't give him an X on the metal-armor-belt thing (which Jim Lee made look very cool in my opinion) because he will never be a true X-Man, but I gave him an X on his heart symbolic of their alliance and also symbolic of all the suffering he has been through in his life.

Let me know what you guys think about the design.

I'll do more characters if I can, and definitely with the same color scheme and the pure ink black body that I love.

[shadeofblack8888]

Also could someone tell me how to change the thread's name? I want to make it "New X-Men Designs" instead of just Cyclops.

edit: figured it out.
edit2: oops no, that was just the post title argh. still need help

[Godlike13]

He looks sad :cool:

[Lukecage]

Ehh I like the hood, the X-men should have a secret identity and since he constantly wears his glasses no hood makes him too easily identifiable. The costume is too close to Havok's classic black body suit, it restricts the artist. The X is still too big all classic outfits have a small chest symbol not a huge one, think if they were the "C-men" wouldn't a giant C that big look stupid? Oh and if he''s going to wear a belt at least make it hold up his pants, a belt worn for the sole purpose to serve as a fashion accessory is as bad as giving him 90's pouches or a feather boa.

Scott Summer's has been outed. The whole world knows who he is, so the secret identity is a moot point. I hate the hood/cowl. And A giant X works just fine on this costume becaue they aren't the "C-Men", they're the X-Men. I do agree with the belt. It doesn't quite fit. As for the gloves, maybe if they were a bit longer and form fitting, or maybe bracers on his forearms. It's just me but I never really liked those small gloves on any costuem. Overall I really like the look.

I like it except for the color scheme. While black and red looked cool on Cyclops (though I generally prefer him in blue and gold or black and gold), Magneto's color scheme should be purple and red. Always. So I think that if you changed the black parts to red and the red parts to purple it would be perfect.

[Electric Version]

I like the design, but agree with everyone who's iffy about the red. Blue or Yellow would say Cyclops more.

[Pixie_Solanas]

Scott in black just seems so wrong and so forced. He's not a "man in black", literally or metaphorically. That's why the Alex Ross leotard and the Morrisonian black leather were bad fits on him.

Byrne maintains that Cyclops' graduation uniform was black with blue highlights.

[shadeofblack8888]

A lot of people have come to associate Cyclops with gold & blue over the years; but for me, it just doesn't work.

The reason is that when it comes to color schemes my preference is in the separation of warm colors from cool colors.

Cyclops' red optic beams are his most unique feature and the red visor truly defines him. Red is one of the two primary warm colors and mixing red and blue in a costume is, in my opinion, a disaster (you can imagine how I feel about Superman's costume).

The golden colored parts of his traditional uniforms beautifully complement the slick red glow of the visor, but the blue clashes very badly with the red.

This is all personal taste of course, I know that most people enjoy the mixing of red/blue. But it's simply not my taste and I wouldn't design a costume with clashing warm/cool colors.

I love it. Much better then Scott's current costume, which I'm not a huge fan of.

Red & Black are my fave colours, they go well together. I think it's a pretty slick and streamlined look too. I would however remove the belt..maybe add a jacket...and tweak the X on his chest a little bit, but otherwise it's really really good.

I know Gold & Blue are his colours...but i think those are a bit dated. And i hate the skull cap. I also hate the SUPER SUPER tight spandex look. I wonder how he even moves in his current costume.

Classic outfits as in outfits that are so good they're not changed every year because there is nothing wrong with them(and look wrong when someone does try), Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, Spider-man, Captain America, Fantastic Four. Unfortunately for the X-men I don't think any of them have ever really had a "classic" outfit, except maybe Wolverine's brown one, maybe because it is kind of difficult to incorporate the X into their uniform or their originals were just so boring compared to the rest of the characters created around that time.

[shadeofblack8888]

Thanks for everyone's comments so far. Cyclops seems to be dominating this thread, not surprising considering the name of the thread, so I think I'll just make another one for Magneto to get the attention of his fans.

And even he likes the scuba suit

Five or six years ago I drew a picture of Jean Grey in a modified version of Duo Damsel's 1970s costume. Tonight I amused myself drawing Cyclops in a modified version of Cosmic Boy's 1970's costume. And, really, shouldn't he be dressed like this all the time? I think he should. Oh yes.

This is my first X-pony, I saw other pony versions of characters and couldn't resist trying to make some of my own. Even though I haven't finished making his clothes yet I thought it might be worth posting so far. Hope I didn't post to many pics.

[S_Rhoades]

Seems Scott is going to fall hard here in a few months, we'll see. I was never really a fan of his until recently when I started drawing him here and there.
