Uncanny X-Men #115 double page spread recreation

Continuing my cover recreation studies of great artists & covers...  These recreations are completely hand-drawn with ink on Bristol board with the exception of the Comics Code stamp when applicable (hehe).  Logos & trade dress drawn with Pitt pens, French curve, circle templates, and a ruler.  Artwork re-pencilled with a lightbox and then inked freehand with a Raphael 8404 sable brush.

In this case, the double-page spread from Uncanny X-Men #115, originally by John Byrne and Terry Austin.

In addition, in lieu of grease pencil on the underside of Sauron's wings, I utilized a zipatone pattern by client request.

here is the original page:
