Holy cow, it's been four months since I made this, and I forgot to upload it!? Oh man, shame on me, shame on me.
Well I'm sure most of my watchers would have seen this image before through *windriderx23 's gallery, but for the eight of you guys who haven't seen it yet, this was a collaborative effort between myself and Jamie for the Pittsburgh Comicon last September.
Originally, we were brought on board to make images for the Make A Wish charity auction. Then we were given the proposition to make the cover art for the Pittsburgh convention program. You're damn right we jumped on that opportunity. We really put forth the creative jets on full burn, making sure every detail, effect, and pixel was to perfection. This is a 110% effort between myself and Jamie, and it's still one of my favorite color jobs I've ever done.

I already told Jaime this, but it goes for you as well. You Guys Rock!! Jean has always been my favorite X-Team person and you guys did her as well or better than big names like Jim Lee and Portacio. I look at what you guys do and it inspires me to be better. So keep it up!

Thank you very much for the compliments! It really means a lot being compared to such magnum contenders in the field.

Awesome job! 
The only thing I could put forth for constructive critisism would be, put a lil more green over the yellow in her eyes, and take away that square-ish lines on her nose, and it'd be perfect!!

Thanks a lot. There was a lot of back and forth on the fire, and I ended up redoing it a couple times. So I'm glad all that extra effort was worth it.
Thanks for the crits, too. I'm trying for more prominent eyes in my current works. As for the nose, it's one of Jamie's signature designs in his lines. It's how you know that it's his. So that would be something in his half of the collaborative effort.

I'm glad you put forth that extra effort, it really shows!

Yep, it was good to just sit back and spend some time in this image. It was really a great image that I'm particularly proud of.
Much thanks and credit to you, as well.
