Initially I painted this piece in
monochrome, in blue. The editor, Tom Brevoort, asked me to put in a broader
range of colours. He was right. It was pretty simple, I added a touch of grey to
the white parts of the costume and a few hints of skin tone. I did this back in
the time when I was freelance and was working for both Marvel and DC. It was
ace...
Quiksilver's uniform was a little
odd at this time, the two tones of blue, the pointy gloves. The Son of M series
itself was pretty cool though. The follow up, Silent War went through a lot of
editorial changes, rewrites...and the final series 'Black Bolt:Underworld' was
never published. I read the first issue script by David Hine, it was really
good. I think the idea was to take The Inhumans to the bottom, the depths of
despair and then build them up again and put a fresh version back in the Marvel
Universe...but Secret Invasion happened and Black Bolt was needed for
that...
