This is the variant cover for Uncanny X-Men #522 from Marvel comics featuring the return of Kitty Pryde. I've included the process to the left of the final image showing the steps. First comes the layouts and my editors at Marvel choose the image they like best. Second is a tighter layout of Kitty on the bullet and the third is the final inks. The homage here is to the movie Dr. Strangelove and the old 30s and 50's pin-up girl bomber art of WW2. Penciled and inked on 13'X19' bristol board and painted in photoshop. I have heard some people on other comic messageboards say is phallic or kind of raunchy. Not sure if that says something about the image or the viewer
