Here's a group shot I did (maybe in '92 or '93) that included Colossus. I am working on a new Colossus pic though...

I've posted this before, and it's on the Neverending board now too. I drew this after Colossus died. Colossus gets his wings. I wish I could have made it bigger to show more deatil...

Kmeyers, I am loving that pic. Very nice detail from what I can see of the small pic.

[nooocandy]

Just checked out those image refs and it still amazes me that

a) His original costume was the best
b) His last costume also looked good
c) That Excalibur costume, those shoulder pads....lol

[Flight]

Here's my Colossus again

[Vegetarian Goat]

Flight- that looks very much like some little sculpture thing i did once in high school... the idea was, we had to construct a diorama for sculpture class about a story/idea we wrote. I decided at the end of the year to repaint one of the little dudes i made into Colossus... if i can, i'll take a picture and post it. It's High-larious. -Dan

[newscott]

Here's my version. Took longer to colour it than to draw...

[Cayman]

My Colossus, done in paint, a few nights back.

[bingbangboom]

This is my first time entering one of these and my first time really trying to draw with PSP. I was doing some doodles at work earlier with MS Paint so I don't really have a computer style yet.

[bingbangboom]

Thanks, just trying work more with colors. With Colossus, he has alot of blues so that is what I basically used. I also just tried to use the sort of line stuff on his face. I am sure if I hand drew it it would be more precise. I just always wondered why he never had that line stuff in his face because I think it would look cool.

What other ones are there for the Draw Me X?

[mattbib]

Here's my version. Took longer to colour it than to draw...Very bold take on the costume...I like it.

Since he's back from the dead, I'm bringing this Draw Me an X back from the depths

wow there are quite a few impressive artists on these boards! very good job people! more more more! More of my Petey boy

[kmeyers]

Since he came back I reread his death, and found an old sketch I did while sitting in class(not an art class) it's done on ruled paper, which isn't the best to sketch on with a pen, but here it is... A headshot of the real Man of Steel...Colossus.

Great pic KMeyers! I am full of Petey Glow.

I drew this today and inked it before I scanned it...I think it helped with smoother lines. And I actually tried some shading. I think this is my best DMAX yet. :)

Yes indeed, those are some great pics, Romus!

Your drawings are great Romus - they have a great old-school feel to them, maybe because it's Collossus' old costume. More! :)

Here is an old Hulk vs Colossus I did. Again I never got past the 1st page.

And another, done after the one above, but before the one I posted a few days ago. Hope you get a kick out of these :)

wow. wonderful stuff again Romus! I totally think Colossus should fight Hulk now. Piotr could take the mean greeen.

[JCMAHAL]

once again I'm taken away by your work Romus.. very well done and are extremely great.

So who would you show winning the battle if you do decide to go beyond page 1?

[McJoe]

Wow, fantastic work there, Romus! You seem to be very talented. :D

[Romus]

Thanks :) I had 2 or 3 pages of Colossus vs Juggernaut that I did like 10 years ago, but I couldn't find them. If I ever do, I'll post em.

Hey thanks. Nope, i haven't been published in comics. The last time I tried was 6 years ago, but I decided to get into computer games instead. I did start a little online comic (that I haven't updated in a long time). You can see it and my other art on my website. My Art (http://www.romus5.com/)

umm......... Since I like Colossus and I have comic spirit I tried to do a picture of Colossus's fist and I know its sucks but I just did this becasue of fun.

Um.... I having problems uploading it becasu it is to big, please if somebody can help me upload it.

[The Conquering Hero]

Did some outlines in Illustrator and air-brushing in photoshop.

Runaway. Not sure what to tell you. Reduce your image resolution (i.e. 72 dpi) or the image size itself. I made mine about 8 inches high and about 4 inches wide.

Runaway- try saving it as a jpeg . That should bring the file size down.

I love Colossus, and I like looking at these. We have a lot of talented people here.

[The Conquering Hero]

Atoning Unifex: Cool drawing. Very Cool.

Runaway: Jpeg, like the man says.

Question: How do you get your picture to appear in full form as opposed to a link? Is it to do with the file format (i.e. jpg, gif) or do I need to put it on a website and then add a link to it in the body of the message? Just wondering.

Exactly. Use the icon of a mountain in a yellow square, which is the "Insert Image" link. Or you can just copy the address of your image wherever you upload it and insert the url/location between two image tags like so: and

But in order to use the mountain image the file has to already be uploaded on a server right? You can't just insert an image on your desktop, then you have to do it as an attachment.

I never really 'got' Colossus till recently... I started reading X-men way back when he was an Acolyte and I thought he was a bit of a twit... Now I really dig his character.

[The Fury]

MarvelBoy, your work is great, the Dazzler one I like as well. Makes me sad that I can't draw that well.

Do you have a website that you post your work on by ay chance?

[marvelboy2004]

I don't Fury! My work is posted in a drawer under my 'pooter and only sees the light of day after I have drawn it and posted it on here! Then, into the drawer and probly thrown out after the next time I spring clean!

You eve thought about trying to break into comics?

I once did Fury, but it seems just like a pipe dream to me. I don't think I am good enough to even think about it...

Wow, I didn't know that! Thanks. This (http://www.romus5.com/grayscale2.html) is my latest comic style art but it isn't superhero stuff and it's broken up by panel. Plus it's colored, and sometimes painted, in photoshop. Half way through I just started doing it straight in Photoshop. The sloppy style is intentional because I wanted to do a panel per day after work. Anyway, I'm tempted to try this out, if i have time. :)

Ohhhhh wow, that's stunning. Twisted, sexy, cool and yet still very much in character. Everything about that picture is amazing, atoning.

That's two of my three favourite characters Maliced up. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the other one. ;)

[atoningunifex]

The Colossus pic actually started life as the Malice Havok. Then I realized the costume idea I had would work better with Colossus. So havok's still waiting for a costume idea. I'll probably do the Malice Longshot next.

This is something I did this morning. it's just a study- not finished really, but I thought I'd post it.

Chad,

I love it! *YAY for his lips!*

Really interesting posing. I love the color use. Very Top Notch Job!!!!!


*dance*

[Tenebrae]

Beautiful, Chad, great pose. :)

[atoningunifex]

I promised our very own Jack Flash I'd design a new costume for Colossus. This is what I came up with. I wanted something in black and white. I played around with the same X-Theme Emma had in Morrison's run and added some touches from Pete's classic costume. I also wanted it a little bit racier because...well, I'm a perv. And also because he's been through a big, huge, awful expereince and it's going to change him. I'd like to think it's going to make him a little more stark but also more open to possibilities. hence- this costume:

http://alyxchance.com/collossusnewcostume.JPG

[For the Good of X]

Wow.
I'd love to see how it stays on when he's not steel.
Gotta love the potential of unstable molecules....

[atoningunifex]

Wow.
I'd love to see how it stays on when he's not steel.
Gotta love the potential of unstable molecules....

if you recall- in Petere's original costume there were blue leggings that disappeared when he went all metal-like. This costume has something similar. There's blue cloth running down the front from the collar to the boots. It holds the side panels and the front together.

But only in the front. His black legging deale goes through the crotch, over his ass and meets the side panels.

maybe someday I'll illustrate that view.

[Jack Flash]

beautiful!!!!! Marvelous!!!! Fantastic!!!! Hawt!!!!

great job chad!

I got a really excellent book on anatomy and I've been going through it and using the photo references and studying up. This is based on one fo the pcitures in the book. I sketched it out and started shading and then kinda distractedly colossus-ized it.

I'm putting it as a link because it might not be something you want the co-workers to see. but it's not dirty. (http://alyxchance.com/colossufigurestudy.jpg)

[OpticBlast]

I just found this forum during the weekend. What a great site!

Anyway, I decided to delve into the drawing call, and since I haven't attempted a Colossus in years, I chose him. Meant to do a full-body image, but I didn't size my drawing correcty!

http://www.jcrosby.net/Colossus2.jpg

I have to say that my appreciation for him had waned a lot during the 90s, but I think I really missed him while he was "vacationing" in the sub-basement...

Here's a cartoony Colossus to go with my cartoony havok.

http://alyxchance.com/colossuscartoonyj.JPG

[bakla]

You know, Chad - this style isn't so much cartoony as stylized - in a very good way. I know you tend to do more stoic, almost brooding renditions, but this look seems to really suit you.

[twilight]

Awesome work Chad.

I think I like it even better than your usual style.

[Vegetarian Goat]

Chad- you are the colossus master. Boot that Jorge Lucas guy out, and show him how it's done! And this new cartoony business is quite awesome!

It looks even better in color. If I were to critique it, I'd say he looks a bit skinny, but it's too darn awesome for that. I wish I could draw.

Could you possibly make it a size bigger? It looks good though from what I can tell. :)

[xakko]

we'll see if this is any better...

[LoneWolf21]

Very strong piece Xakko, nice use of emotions. Especially when start exploring the cold steel/warm heart stuff.

[rickfury188]

Colossus is very hard to draw because of how the metal creates tons of shadows on his body, but I commend all of you for your drawings. They are all very good.

thanks... i was going to put him in the rain, but that would've taken far more photoshop skill than I have. it would've been more appropriate, tho'.

[tangentman]

I've always been staggered by the X-Men's bad rep in the Marvel Universe. Sure, the media push the "mutant menace" envelope, but is it realistic that the public would buy that at face value? I could see Colossus being one of the mutants who fascinated the public; he certainly cuts a more striking and photogenic figure than the Beast. In fact, I could see Colossus being highly popular among kids in the Marvel Universe, who would admire the "shiny, strong steel guy"!

Hi,

Didn't have time to color it or even ink it (late for dinner :rolleyes: ) so here's my quick and humble homage to John Byrne's Colossus. The best of them all!

Thats kickass dude! Well done and welcome to the board!

[Amokitty]

Xakko: Fabulous job. I love that costume! That obviously took a lot of thought and the result is stylish, yet practical. The aura about Colossus' figure - is that his energy signature? Love your details.

Barnaby: This drawing just leaps off the page! Wow. There's a lot of realism in Colossus' movement and expression. The play of shadow and light gives a lot of depth to this piece. Beautifully rendered.

Thanks guys, i'm glad you liked it...

I usually don't color my works... i'm just a penciler anyway, but sometimes i like to lose myself in photoshop for a few hours and give the characters some colors and effects. I'm graphic designer so i got to keep practising! :o

Hoping for a new "draw me an X" thread! I just love x-men and have been drawing them for more than 20 years now (almost all my live!) but i just can't get enough!! :evilsmile

See you around! ;) Keep up the good work...
