Mondo Fabuloso
Lorna, like her lover, Havok, have in common that even though I don’t care too much for them as characters, they have both had some of the coolest costumes in X-History. My favorite Polaris looks were her original exotic priestess costume and a few of her (pre-Matsuda) X-Factor uniforms.
Ric never did anything for me until his relationship with Shatterstar started to come out during Jeph Loeb’s run on X-Force. And while the budding romance was intriguing in a “read between the lines” way, the fact that Ric and Star were so D-list for me overruled any real interest on my part.
PAD seems like he’s going full steam ahead with it now, and although I really loathe de-powered Ric, I have to say his current look trumps anything they’ve ever done for him in the past. (Who remembers that horrid number with the ridiculous green fringe and the big honkin’ X target and that gigantic Kirstie Alley hairdo?)

Okay, everyone who thought Mondo wasn’t really given a chance, raise your hand. I remember the pre-launch Gen X hype like yesterday and I distinctly remember being psyched for this character in particular. Remember, his personality M.O. was “unshakable,” –that he didn’t have a fighting spirit, despite possessing massive power.
I was sooo anxious to see how this would be handled. Then… I guess… it just… wasn’t.
I really enjoy Mondo’s powers. Merging with matter has endless possibilities. That’s why it took me so long to draw him. I wanted to show him using his powers in a unique way. But then I fell back on the tree idea because anything else would have been too difficult to convey, given my skills. I’m glad I went with my first idea because am quite proud of my tree drawing. 
And NO, I did not give him a tree dick. Check it out at anti-heroes.net > members gallery > fanboy.
Another of the miscellaneous kids from the current junior X-Squad, Surge, their unofficial leader, has the redundant powers of super-speed and electricity but needs these needlessly difficult-to-draw gauntlets, that no two artists can draw the same, to control her abilities. Nonetheless, I included her in my lineup because I’ve seen some images where she looks somewhat original with her hair looking like it’s being affected by the electricity.
Oh look, an big ugly block of text! I've been drawing all my life. I can't remember when I started but it was early. I've always been intrigued and inspired by animation and comics. My earliest influences were Charles Shultz's Peanuts and later, X-Men comic books. It didn't take very long for me to start drawing erotic images. Even before junior high, I was drawing nude Disney men in my sketchbooks.

I wish I could learn all the high lights and shading you do! I just love your Polaris picture! She always caught my eye with her amazing green hair!

Aw thanks! I kinda HATE rendering– it’s my least favorite part of the process! haha. I love drawing, inking, and laying down the flat colors- but rendering I always dread! haha
