For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son...
Our baby needs more attention, I love him. Didn't love drawing the scars though, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I also wanted to give him golden tears but said fuck it.
Alternative color variations AND a bonus of the speed paint beneath the cut!
[ID: A 3/4 angle portrait of Alan Cumming's rendition of Nightcrawler shrouded in shadow. Only his face is visible. The digital art piece is in color, predominantly blue. His eyes are yellow without pupils, his skin is blue with purple influences, and he is drawn with scars on his face in a slightly lighter blue. His expression is sorrowful, eyes staring off to the upper right, his lips relaxed and closed. END ID]

I've had a real art block lately, so what better way to break that than to draw my fuzzy boy? Just a cute happy elf. I actually think this is the first time I've drawn him digitally lol
Finally the Dire Wraiths are banished, thanks to Nightcrawler's honey, Amanda, and Illyana, both magic users. The X-Men, including brother Peter, find out the latter has sorcery and teleporting powers, and Peter says he doesn't care what she is, he still loves her.Speaking of that sentiment, Nightcrawler calls a meeting because he wants out of the hero business. The government just removed Storm's powers, and anti-mutant legislation is coming. Why are they fighting to save the humans who hate them? But Rachel, the mutant from the dark future, says the team has to keep fighting to avoid the timeline she escaped where mutants are rounded up and killed. Nightcrawler agrees.
But he does accidentally suggest a proper focus for the Xavier school, which took them decades to follow up on: Not every mutant who learns to control their power has to become a superhero. Some want to go back to their lives. Some mutations don't lend themselves to heroing, and throwing them at Sabretooth is cruel and making them live with their classmates forever is isolation. What's the point of teaching people, both mutants and humans, that they can coexist if they remain forever separate?
