Len Barboza - X-men Evolution - Kurt and Kitty are Expecting

This is a new lineart that I had Len Barboza (Aquarina-chan) do for me.  The idea for it came about when a friend of mine, who is also a fan of the Kurt/Kitty pairing, had become pregnant.  And I had decided on making a small tribute piece for her.  And I thought that this would be the best way for me to do that, to have Kurt Wagner and Kitty Pryde expecting a child.

Originally, when this lineart was made for me there was no background whatsoever, it was only after I had finished coloring in Kurt and Kitty did I think that it could use a background.  This came about when I left the background blank and put in the X-men logo in the background but that didn’t look very appealing to the eye so I decided to go further.   However, I didn’t want to get rid of the X-men logo so I changed it’s color and blended it into the wood of the bed’s headboard.

I hope all of you enjoy it.

Len Barboza - Kurt and Kitty in Love

This is a colored lineart that I had commissioned from Aquarina-chan (Len Barboza). The idea of it is that I wanted this picture to be a fairly loving picture of a favorite pairing of mine: Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) and Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat). Of course in this I had her use the X-men Evolution version.

The only real tricky parts about this was mimicking the colors, shading style as well as putting in a fairly decent background. I had tried to paint some grass into this but it never really came out the way I had hoped so I basically resorted to using a grass photo pattern and giving it a perspective distortion. So if any of you out there know of any grass photoshop painting tutorials let me know. And I mean the kind where it’s from an above angle, not the side-angle that most tutorials here have.
