Wolverine & Kitty Pride
Monday, September 7th, 2009
Been doing a little freelance lately that involves these two. Sadly, I am not the artist, just a colorist. Still, the project has been good for me, as it has helped me brush up on my Photoshop coloring skills. It’s also giving me a chance to help a very good friend/mentor.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Kitty Pride and Wolverine. With Kitty, I guess she kind of falls into “Robin Syndrome” in that she represents the character that kids/teens can better identify with in the superhero world. (Come on, wouldn’t you want to be the teenager on a superhero team? That’s like, the unspoken American Dream!) As a kid, I loved her origins that involved her travels with Wolverine, as well as her Demon Ninja training. (I have no idea what her origins are these days, everything keeps getting reinvented with each new franchise.)
As for Wolverine, Hugh Jackman just makes him So Appealing. I mean, I always liked Wolverine for his gruff honesty, samurai skills, and general bad-ass-ness, but now I Really Like Wolverine thanks to Hugh Jackman 
Now that I look at this, I am not too fond of how I drew Kitty clasping her hands. I just tried to fix it, but it turns out it would take a bit of time, as well as a re-draw. I’ll leave it up here for posterity so you guys can see my imperfections Makes life interesting, no?
