Viper Slithers Out Of Her Skin In THE WOLVERINE Concept Art
Conceptual illustrator, Kelton Cram, has recently updated his facebook page with concept art from James Mangold's The Wolverine. The artwork focuses on how Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova) would shed her skin.
Concept artist, Kelton Cram, has recently contributed his artistic talents to Steven Spielberg's television series, Falling Skies, and Jon M. Chu's G.I. Joe: Retaliation. But today, I wanted to show you his designs for James Mangold's The Wolverine. In the film, Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova) showcases a mutant ability to heal, by shedding her wounded skin. If you haven't seen the film, and you should, it's pretty gnarly.
