Description This is for the Mark Brooks contest.

Update: I re-colored the background last minute because I was sick with the flu for over a week and then after I had problems focusing on anything, and I took naps everyday...but I think the last minute changes really helped it...uhh..grow. The Age of Apocolypse is typically dark and purple and grey...nothing too bold or bright from what I remember, so I decided thats where I would go with this. Good luck to everyone in the contest and thanks to Mark.

note: Storm had a tornado, but it didnt really fit so I axed it.

thank you, because I had the flu I only got around to the glows last minute, and almost didnt make the deadline because I was sick or busy all month, so I really appreciate it

Last minute?!? Wow. Did you have exams, too?
I noticed most of the other's didn't put as much emphasis on the energy. Too bad for them. I gotta ask, tho, what program did you use?

I painted the characters in Painter IX, with my tablet, then added the glows and the background in photoshop.

Its much more simple than photoshop if you just want to paint, but using filters, layers and other tools seems much less intuitive

I run the largest Blink fanart site on the net.
I would like to add your work.
The person who drew this said I could also ready put the drawing on my site.
I want to add your colored version.
I would only list you as the colorist not the artsit.
