X-Men Redesign Costume Sketches
Every July on our Patreon, we invite our patrons to vote on a group of characters for us to redesign. We spend a month or two doing a full ground-up rework of the characters, their story, and their world. This year, the winner was the X-Men - the characters who got Comfort into comics in the first place and who have a very special place in both our hearts. It was a lot of fun bringing our vision of these characters to life. See the final piece here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/J9Xqbn

Took a long time to find the base suit. Went through a LOT of variations.
Designing the school uniform for the Xavier Academy. It's Harry Potter with super-powers! Wee!
