A Stormy saturday

 

Outside the weather is stormy so why not sketching Storm? The above sketch actually was done some time ago. Quite a silly concept for a pic (poor Storm, not finding her classic costume long boots!) I know but was fun to sketch XD

This one is more recent (as, some mins pefore posting). The approach between the two sketches is quite different imho. The first one had a more cartoon/anime influence in Storm design, while this second one is strongly inspired by John Byrne classic design of the character. Byrne, along with writer Chris Claremont, contributed to some of the best X-men stories. One of the most famous (not my very fav, but surely a great story) is the Dark Phoenix saga, wich heavily inspired the third X-men movie (the comic is very different form the movie anyway).

One of my very fav stories instead is the famous two parts storyarc "Days of Future Past", wich notably anticipated Terminator movies concepts by some years:

In both these stories I just presented, Storm role isn't central, yet she already appears as the very strong character that made me like her a lot :) And Byrne design for her still remains one of my very fav!
