Magneto

Day 3 of X-Men characters from the movie universe brings us to good guy/bad guy, the master of magnetism, Magneto. He is portrayed by Michael Fassbender in the last 3 films. His constant flip flopping from evil to good is not just a movie thing, this is also the way he has been portrayed in the comic books. To me, Magneto will always be on the side of evil and I think he works best that way. He is such a good bad guy because his reasons for doing the “wrong” things is completely understandable. You can empathize with his way of thinking. And I never felt the movies gave us a Magneto who you believe really wanted to make the world pay for the ways humans treat the mutant population. That aside, I think Michael Fassbender does a great job.

Here is the drawing pre-Photoshop coloring:

Mystique

Here is X-men number 2 for this week, Mystique. While she was a bit player in the world of mutants, in the comics, the movie universe has changed that. The other big change was her look. While always blue, she was not so naked or scaley. This is a painting on illustration board and with gouache paint. For the next X-Men character we will be going away from the traditional painting and go into the digital paint world.

Wolverine

In preparation for seeing the new X-Men movie today, I decided to do some quick portraits of some of the characters from the more recent films. And how do you not start off with the top X-character, Wolverine? For me he is the best character in these films. Hugh Jackman plays Wolverine perfectly for me. He can play him as a crazed killer and bring it right back to guy who can drop a funny one liner and it all works. Wolverine isn’t really in the comics anymore so this is the one place I can still get my fix.
This painting was start to finish about an hour long and was painted with gouache paint on illustration board. It is 8″x8″.
I filmed the whole process and should have a speed painting video to share with everyone soon.
