Tada! I don't have it in hand yet, but it's on its way!

Super Excited!

psst.
You forgot to censor his "tail".
:lol:

Im not convinced that isnt just a stray line. Im going to say thats just open to interpretation. especially since there is no break in the costume for it.

Oh fine.
Leave me holding the pervert bag.
See if I care.

Wow... just... wow....

A stray line?!

That's a peepee if I ever saw one!

Interesting.

Lord knows youve seen a lot of peepees! Oh snap! See what I did thar?

Also, this is the information that the seller gave me about the piece:
This black marker artwork was created by Peter Laird in 1985, while in Sharon, CT. Artwork measures 9 1/2" x 12 1/4" on textured Bristol board type paper

And this is what Pete said when I asked to verify the work:
Ha! That's a blast from the past. I don't recall the exact circumstances of its origin, but I'm pretty sure that was a specific commission for a fan, who wanted Nightcrawler and Storm from the X-Men in some kind of slightly suggestive situation. It was drawn on coquille board. And that's about all I can remember at this time!

I also gave him a copy of the censored and uncensored versions, so we may see this hit his blog :-P

Well, I'm pleased he owned up to it. That's kinda cool.

Oh I also wanted to mention (giving credit where credit is due) that Vaughn originally pointed me at this piece. Thanks Vaughn!

That is awesome. Congrats, man!

Nice find..

Is there any artist that is NOT a pervert?

I swear every artist always has all these perverted drawings :lol:

Hey, I'm not convinced the censored parts isn't just a skin tight costume that shows off her features.

Any time my friend :)

Nope, not in my experience. And my junior high school paid for me to attend a visual arts school twice a week. One of the lessons I learned best was that every "creative" person usually has a "darker" side. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but not everyone's comfortable showing it.

That said, I'm a tiny bit surprised Pete actually did something like this, but not as much as him admitting it. Kudos to him for that. Pretty sweet piece, too. The picture I mean, wiseguys. :P

that is awesome

This thread is totally messed up! LOL my kind of thread.

my gf is extremely jealous of you, they both are her favorite x-men characters

Now "thats" a commission
