Description
The final art to the cover of Uncanny X-Men 504 featuring a mohawk era Josephine Baker inspired Storm, a Clara Bow inspired Emma Frost, Rogue as a Bellhop and 2 (!) Psylockes! I actually drew the cover to the issue as a more generic team shot (see Uncanny X-Men 505) and then after reading the script, I drew a new (this) cover which much better summed up the issue. It's a look into Cyclop's dreamscape and the women who inhabit it!It's the kind of cover that makes the reader go, "Huh?!", for various reasons and pick up the book, my job completed!
This is one of my more favorite covers I've done both in concept and execution.
Art was colored in Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Intuos Graphic Tablet. The lovely and talented Rachel Dodson inked my penciled version.

This totally made my day
I definitely did exactly what you wanted -- saw the cover and had to pick it up a few weeks back. Rogue is absolutely adorable as a bellhop, and the rest of the ladies look phenomenal, of course

Awesome cover. The use of the stairs to tie all the characters together is such a good choice. And Rogue looks great in a pillbox hat!

Mr. Dodson, you knocked it out of the park with this one!
Two Psylockes? Anyone that brings back the ORIGINAL Betsy Braddock (even in a dream-sequence) gets mad kudos in my book!
Thanks for sharing!

One of the best x covers / comic cover in years, wonder why this is not a poster of this by Marvel.
