Description

Kevin Ford aka Wither from New X-men. His power is to... khm, withering things. And not only plants. I don't like him, I just wanted to draw withered flowers ^__^
SAI, few hours.

Great drawing of Kevin.  I loved him in those first few issues, New Mutants #3-6, and have such fond memories of reading those in my college days.  Then they did everything possible to ruin him: cancelling New Mutants, turning him into a complete moron in "Choosing Sides", and finally killing him off.  Granted, the "I'm a teenage boy who can't share physical contact with anyone because everything I touch disintegrates" had been done before, and better, with Scuzz in DP7, but Kevin's outlook was unique and gave him a lot of potential.  Shame that they wasted it.

Anyway, I love the tone you've created for him: sombre, but not brooding.  His face shows such a calm, sort of cold acceptance of his fate.  Nicely offset by the characteristic gentleness with which he holds the flower.  You've captured his hair style perfectly, too.
