Ultimate Nightcrawler
When news spread that Mark Millar was going to use everyone's favorite blue elf in Ultimate X-Men #7, I got excited and drew this..
I was wondering just what his costume will look like. Traditionally, every costume he's had has been a close proximity to his original, and after a couple of months or so he just wears the original again.(And why not? It's a classic look.) But since Ultimate X-Men is another universe, it seemed likely he'd adopt a darker look similar to those of other Ultimate X-Men.

So, possessing the patience of a goldfish, I went ahead and made my own spin on what his costume might look like.
I figgured history will repeat itself, I gave the costume several references to the original, but with different materials.
The chest and shoulders of the costume are the same layout as Ultimate Wolverine's but with the colors changed. And the boots and gloves have the madatory, black straps. The biggest departure from the standard Ultimate X-Men suites is the color change. I can't stand putting yellow on Nightcrawler, so I switched the yellow trim to a dark red-purple.

Unfortunately, when I uploaded this pic it became much darker than it was when I finished it in Photoshop. So if you can't tell (and this depends alot on your monitor) some parts of his body are blending slightly into the background.
Specifically his hair is showing some of the stars behind him. Also, his got a little gold cross hanging from his neck because while I don't so much like the idea of him being a priest, I do think his religion is an important aspect of his character.
