My Favorite Mutants part 2: Nightcrawler

This came together pretty fast:

I should mention why I like these particular mutants so much. Part 1: Angel is, I think, part of my obsession with winged humans. Possibly due to my much too early exposure to Barbarella and the fantastic Flash Gordon film. Both of which had winged humans.

For Nightcrawler I guess it's that I always like the weird ones. Also, as a kid I grew up with the John Byrne/ Paul Smith penciled X-Men and you always love the comics you read when you were ten or so.

My Favorite Mutants part 1: Angel final-final

Alright. That's it. Been drawing this guy for a week now and in much need of new material. Part 2 coming soon.

My Favorite Mutants part 1: Angel re-do the do-over

Once more I needed to re-do Warren Worthington III. This time in an easier costume.

Still not happy happy. But closer. Think I over-worked the wings a bit. Will move on to part 2 soon. Finally.
This theme is in no particular order. But there will be 10 in all (not including the do-overs).

My Favorite Mutants part 1: Archangel re-do

Had to re-do. Slightly better.

My Favorite Mutants part 1: Archangel

You can tell it all fell apart with the wings. Oh well. I'll try again later.

Archangel head abort

Trying to draw Archangel. Didn't succeed. Liked this one tiny bit as inked except for the expressionless features. Will try again soon. Stay tuned.

DJ Poster Sketch part 2

Still working it out.

DJ Poster Sketch

A quick poster sketch for a DJ I know:
Just some thoughts on a design.

Need to color and clean things up a bit.

Forgotten Mutants part 10: Kiden Nixon

Don't know much about Kiden Nixon except the spectacular Joshua Middleton covers for NYX. She can apparently do something time-y wime-y. She's a club-kid and ecstasy user, hence the binky on a string. This was a very quick sketch but I think it came out all right.

Forgotten Mutants part 9: Peepers

Peepers has eye powers. He was eaten by a mutant predator recently. Peepers was often a bad guy. But did he deserve to get eaten?

Forgotten Mutants part 8: Anne-Marie Cortez

Who mourns for Anne-Marie Cortez? One of the very first of Magneto's Acolytes, she died 2 issues after her introduction in the flaming destruction of Asteroid M (M is for Magneto—yeah he's like that). Another casualty of the nineties extremely hard to draw (or find reference for) costume. I had to make most of it up. And don't ask about those boots. I draws 'em likes I sees 'em. Damn you Jim Lee!

Oh yeah. She had, I kid you not, this is according to Marvel's own Wiki, she had the power of empathy. She could sense your emotions. I guess that's a side effect of her also having some form of mind control.

Forgotten Mutants part 7: Adam X the X-Treme

Oh the 90s. Everything was so extreme. Ok. Adam X is a Mutant/Shi'ar hybrid with the power to ignite the electrolytes in the bloodstream, causing a person to burn from the inside out. You know, extreme. This guy was hard to draw with all those blades. You don't want to be standing next to him in a crowded subway car.

All those blades? Whatever. It's the backwards baseball cap that makes Adam X so X-Treme. To the max!

Forgotten Mutants part 6: Tempo

Much better. Now I can sleep. I removed the older one. It was embarrassing. She looked part sea lion. Now she's acceptable. Anyway, Tempo can control time and fly. She was designed by Rob Liefeld so she has a bucket on her head and a "painted on" yellow uniform. Her main feature is that bucket.

Forgotten Mutants part 5: Lifeguard

Lifeguard? Really? I don't know this one very well. Never read the comic. Getting reference on-line was a pain so her uniform is probably off some. She's some sort of adaptive mutant. She changes given the situation. Mostly into some kind of super strong golden girl. Fun to draw though.

She's part Shi'ar too.
I'm really digging drawing mutant women. Especially the forgotten ones.

Forgotten Mutants part 4: Skids

Oh, 80's. What hath thou wrought? Thou hast wrought Skids. She has a "slippery" forcefield. And leopard skin tights.

I just realized that these last three forgotten mutant ladies could all be in an Eighties band. The Wolf could be one of their roadies.

Forgotten Mutants part 3: Lila Cheney

Bit of a cheat here. Just traced over a Joan Jett image and photoshopped that import CD label. It works though. Lila Cheney is a teleporter and intergalactic rock star. She dated Cannonball from the New Mutants. She's totally Joan Jett. So I just made her Joan Jett:

Hopefully you don't know Japanese or you'd find out that label was totally stolen. I'm having tracer's anxiety now. Though I do like how it came together. Plus I love Joan Jett!

Update: Re-did her right hand and re-did photoshop of her fake CD.

Forgotten Mutants part 2: U-Go Girl from X-Statix

Yeah. Who could forget poor Edie Saywer? Not me. I loved that comic. You go girl!

Update: I fixed her right hand.

The Wolf one more time

Hated my last post. Here it is again.

Slightly better. I don't know. You decide.
