Very nice..this picture makes me laugh...never seen magneto look so weak...looking out his window as if he's hiding from cops...he normally makes a way bigger scene!!!
My November piece for the PUMMEL art battles over at the Penciljack.com forums.
My opponent picked Magneto as the topic for the battle, and my first reaction was, meh, what a boring topic. Magneto was never my favorite super villain, and every artist and his dog has drawn Magneto. But then I got the idea to draw Magneto as Malcolm X in that famous "By Any Means Necessary" poster (seeing as Magneto sort of based off of Malcolm X), and all of a sudden I was totally psyched about it. I think it turned out pretty sweet.

I used the famous Malcolm X poster for inspiration. I certainly hope he doesn't come off as weak, that definitely wasn't my intention. I like to imagine he's planning something devious, like an assassination of some anti-mutant politician, something that requires a little more subtlety than, say, dropping a football stadium over the White House.
