(New Artwork) Queer Icon: Mystique (Raven Darkholme)!! X-Men adjacent, mutant…anti-hero!! Intended to be the first queer & gender fluid character in a major comic company (Marvel). Sadly Chris Claremont was forced to make her to be heavily coded instead. Raven has recently FINALLY being allowed to be themselves and have everything they ever wanted… including getting married to her very long time partner, Destiny!!
Character Design: Northstar!! Just playing around with one of my favorite superheroes. Jean-Paul Beaubier is a member of both Alpha Flight/X-Men, is canonically the first out queer heroes from a major comic company (Marvel), and first to marry within its pages!!
Morning Mini-Work: Wolverine!! I did a little drawing of Logan in my sketchbook this morning as a distraction from the work I was supposed to be doing. I think he turned out pretty well for something impromptu. Enjoy!
Just for Fun: Hello, Self-friend!! (Warlock of the New Mutants) I’ve always loved he and Cypher’s friendship. I got a great art book by Bill Sienkiewicz today at the library and it inspired me to give him a try!!
Just for Fun: She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters)!! Here’s a quickie I did last night. I’ve loved Jen since Byrne’s FF and She-Hulk series. Tatiana is perfect casting!!
Just for Fun: Moon Knight!! I wanted to draw something fun on a Sunday morning. I loved his three piece suit look from Ellis’ run, so I made a few aesthetic changes to make it more stylish… Voila!
Work Doodle: Storm!! I was holding down the fort at my friend’s shop today, providing some retail therapy. During a lull, I whipped up this version of my favorite weather goddess!!
Just for Fun: Daredevil!! I’ve been rereading the superb Waid / Samnee run of Daredevil. I had a free moment and wanted to try to draw DD again, and prefer his more basic looks featuring his thicker boxer frame and musculature.
