Challenging Tropes - X-Men Unlimited Cover Redraw

For an university assignment named Challenging Tropes, I decided to challenge my personal pet peeves of forced heterosexual pairings and bromances and remake iconic scenes and covers including Nightcrawler and Wolverine to instead be a couple. Here is one of the covers I remade for my final submission - the original being from X-Men Unlimited of Wolverine and Marvel Girl. This served mostly as a pose and atmospheric reference.
