Bokuman - Nightcrawler (Patreon)

 This is the colored version of the New Commission that Bokuman did for me.

For  a while now I wanted to do some kind of artwork with one of my favorite  X-men, Kurt Wagner, otherwise known as Nightcrawler.

The inspiration that I got for his outfit came from another deviant artist.  So I’d like to thank IvyBeth and her Nightcrawler Peice

The reason why it took me so long to color this one is because of two things.

First  even though some would say it’s simple but it only does from a certain  perspective.  Coloring the uniform with only three simple colors (and  their various gradations) but the outfit itself as multiple surface  areas and that’s what made it difficult.

The second most  difficult part of this was the “Bamf Smoke”.  It was a challenge and  something that I had never done as far as my photoshop techniques.   Thankfully here at DeviantArt there are dozens of tutorials on this  subject.

So I would like to thank MahadosKnight for his Smoke Effect Tutorial

Though after it was done I decided to do two versions.  One with smoke and one without.

 (sarcasm) Thank you, Patreon, for allowing me not to post my artwork  here that even though it may be safe for work there's always the  possibility of me being suspended.  So thank you and you're   wonderful   moderators for that.
