Tagline: Full Archangel from the cover of Cullen Bunn's Uncanny X-Men #7.
Notes: An exercise that took way more time that it seems.
The original art features Warren as perfectly split in two, depicting his two sides (Angel on the left and Archangel on the right).
I turned it into a full Archangel.
Notes 2: This came out of a discussion over CBR forums, where a poster commented that something was "off" in the anatomy. To check where was the issue, I played with the two halves; while Angel's side is very off, and would need heavy reworking from navel down to fix it, Archangel worked, so I decided to work to make a finished art.
Notes 3: You can see the original cover here.
Notes 4: Greg Land did a similar cover with Betsy Braddock for Uncanny X-Men #509, where he again fucked up with the hips and legs proportions. I tried a couple of months ago to work on that art, but I couldn't fix the issue. I might give it another try in the future.
Or try a Warren-Betsy two pieces (Angel-Caucasian!Psylocke / Archangel-Ninja!Psylocke).
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): I took the original half (right) and flipped it. It was necessary to do some reconstruction/redraw to make the two parts blend, especially the decorations of the glass behind Warren.
Betsy's face too needed to be fixed. I moved her a little higher, so she aligned to Mystique, but that required some redraw too. Also, her colors needed a fixing to remove the sun/golden light.
The textless version I used had a portion of the legs covered, so I had to copy them from another source and blend the two parts.
Lastly, changed Archangel's eyes from yellow to red (as in canon), and made it more silver. Also added some light.
Disclaimer: Don't own anything on this. Full credits below the manip itself.
No AI involved. All made with a mouse, not pens involved (that would've have shortened the time). Just Photoshop CS2.
