This is a drawing of a powerful villain in the X-Men universe. I saw this iconic last page in X-Men #21 back in 1993. Jim Lee drawings had such an effect on me growing up, the way he captured the action, detail and movement.
Initial sketch inspired by the X-Men #21 from the 90's comic book. ✍️
Working sketch in progress using a grey background. Started to think about giving the eyes a smoke like effect and the blade to eminating with a flame like power just like in the comic books.
Just experimenting with layers on photoshop, the Silver Samurai is ready for battle.
Final Draft image of the Silver Samurai in all his glory.
