This is the tonal cover I did for X-Factor #43. I wanted something a little softer than just bold B&W ink for this, so I decided to use some water soluble graphite pencils, ink wash, and some white acrylic highlights.
The final coloured version is here:

Meanwhile, Cyclops has a very particular mission that could spell the end for Madrox and his new partner. And Rictor finds himself in a battle to the death with...nah. Why ruin the surprise?

I'm looking forward to see if you ever do a cover of X-factor with Ruby Summers on it. Besides the extraordinarily corny name she's been given seeing how her name is Ruby and she has ruby quartz skin. I think her character is very well designed.
I bet a cover of both Ruby and the current time line Emma, her mother, with both in their bejeweled forms could make for a very cool looking cover image.
