Art For Art’s Sake # 106 – Welcome One And All To The (Unofficial) Hellfire Gala!
by Richard Bruton
A second special Art For Art’s Sake celebrating the fabulousness of The Hellfire Gala, kicking off on 2 June in the X-Books – this week we have all the unofficial looks! Fabulous styles, daring designs, totally unofficial x-citement!
Last week I showed you the official X-looks to debut at the The Hellfire Gala, along with some work from the past that was perfect for the whole Gala look. And I was going to add a few fan pieces I’d seen to that one.
But, having seen the sheer amount of wonderful looks online from fans and other pros, all celebrating the X-universe with every bit the charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent required, it’s time to unveil all the best unofficial looks from ‘The Hellfire Gala’!
