There’s a version of my Emma Frost as Lil’ Kim drawing circulating about tumblr with my link cropped off.
If anyone comes across it, please let the author/ readers know where that pic comes from! Thanks! ^___^

I resisted drawing Sunfire for quite some time. He’s not an X-Man and I kind of resent him for so often declining membership.
But when my X-Men RemiX to-do count ended up at 79, I told myself I needed to do one more since 80 is such a nicer number to me. (Don’t get me started on that; it’s one of my quirks.) Sunfire beat out quite a few other D-List X-Characters for one reason alone: that he’s the ONLY Asian male x-character. I feel like that’s really pathetic of Marvel, particularly with the slew of Academy X characters recently created. How did an ethnicity that makes up 2/3 of the world’s population get so overlooked?
Drawing Shiro has forced me to admit to the few things I appreciate about the character. 1) JoeMad’s AOA redesign was absolutely genius. 2) I guess it makes sense that some powerful mutant superheroes would rather not be X-Men. It’s more realistic, I suppose. Still, someone in the X-House should have actively sought out another Asian male mutant to fill his spot.
Although Claremont handled Dani well, I’d say that his most interesting and intriguing New Mutant character was Illyana. The idea of Magik and her struggle to reconcile evil with goodness is fascinating to me.
Though she was always a good-guy, her powers come from pure evil. She’s got a sinister side unseen in any X-Person before her, save maybe Wolverine.
Most comfortable shrouded in hellish, demonic imagery, you get the sense she would do anything, no matter how amoral, to further her goals. Fortunately, her goals are usually defending her friends.
(By the way, am I the only one who assumed she was screwing Sym?)
Of all the Generation X characters, I was most excited about and in love with M. She was perfect… that was her power. So cool– especially juxtaposed with all the misfit characters of Gen X .
When M came out, I had an Algerian friend who was very similar to the character– beautiful, smart, spoke like 5 languages, and rich. She approved of M’s personality, stating that Algerian girls are indeed like that… prissy, I guess. She did not however understand why they made her black. “There are no black people in Algeria,” according to my friend. But I was like, “Oh what does she know, it’s Africa– I’m sure there’s some black people there.” LOL!
So, I wonder if that’s the reason behind M’s constant skintone fluctuations. Like, did creators just want a rich African girl, arbitrarily pick Algeria, assume she’d have to be black, later realize that the population is 99% arab, and then make her lighter to retroactively say she’s arab now?
Or does she just have vetiligo? 😉
In any case, my M would probably be like original M… when she wasn’t so bitchy and probably just a biracial black/ arab girl… played by Tatiana Ali in my movie.. hehe!
So yea, I can’t tell whether I’m biased because he’s a ghey, but Victor is my favorite of the Academy X squad. My pal Femmes-Fatales on DeviantArt points out that it’s insensitive to make the lone queer less human looking than everyone else. You’d think I, being as militant about political correctness as I am, would agree. But… I just really like Anole! I think he’s cute! LOL!
Maybe I am swayed by his behind-the-scenes creation story– how he was originally supposed to commit suicide to show both Hellion’s and Elixir’s reactions as cold and caring, respectively. This idea was scrapped when writers and editors realized that offing a gay character for the sole purpose of developing straight characters was fucking lame. And now Anole has proven to be more popular, and quite frankly, a better character than either Hellion or Elixir!
I also like that Anole has been shown to disapprove of Cyclops’ leadership.
Oh yeah, anti-heroes.net > members gallery > fanboy for for your X-Rated versions of the boys. Hooray for my first Japanese dick in a long time! And my first lizard dick! ^___^
What do a scientist, a dance teacher, a spy and a government bureaucrat all have in common? Well, in the world of classic X-Men, they’re each powerful women with extremely close ties to the X-Men, despite possessing
no super powers whatsoever!
Each of these gals had almost invaluable roles and each was created and written with Claremont’s trademark carefulness and specificity.
The idea that there are these highly-skilled non-mutant people scattered throughout the globe who secretly take on the burden of the X-Men’s mission in one way or another is intriguing.
My contribution to my friend Julian’s project Longboxes on 22s.
We take comic book characters and put them on hip-hop album covers! 😉
Even without us artists knowing all we’ve discovered about him since the first time he posed, Riley attracted a very large crowd. From his pic, we could see he was a blonde with big blue eyes, a
smooth muscular frame, boyish good looks and had this innocent, almost dopey grin. I mean, he kinda already looks like one of my characters! But then, after just one session with the guy, we’ve realized he’s anything but innocent. 😉
His first time posing was a bit awkward in the beginning, as he had a bit of difficulty keeping still. But after getting nude, he seemed to become a lot more comfortable. He was so turned on in fact, that I kinda caught him gettin’ off with an artist backstage. Escandalo!
He’s posed quite a number of times and every session there seems to be a new outrageous story. I’ve only drawn him twice, but whether it’s his antics or his big fat ass, he always brings out a huge crowd.
Riley has, quite simply, the largest ass I’ve ever seen on a man. It’s very plump and sticks out quite far. He also has big meaty thighs which kind-of balance out the butt, making me think he does soccer or something. But yea, red beans and rice didn’t miss him. At all.

Another installment in this series of commissions starring the client’s character, the sexually villainous Anaconda, his arch nemesis’ piggy husband Mr. Moral, and his would-be protégé Jamal. Was very pleased to see Mr. Moral return for another helping of Anaconda’s man-meat, but who knew he’d be in for a
double dose of dick with the inclusion of the sidekick! hehe!
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.
Here we have a commission that’s derived from an older one, but this time around, the Old Man of the Sea has RYAN, my would-be god of thunder, in his grasps! Enjoy!
I don’t know how Dani could NOT be anyone’s favorite in the initial New Mutants lineup. Rebellious but loyal, tough but sensitive, confident but haunted– she was so kick-ass. Favorite Dani panel? It’s gotta be one of the earlier issues where she tries on a bikini and thinks about how sexy she is. That really threw me for a loop.
It has taken me FOREVER to draw her because not only did I want to do her justice, but I was constantly fighting with myself over the offensive-ness factor of the bow and arrow imagery.
Then I thought, why am I questioning this when I gave the Japanese character a Katana and the black character a semi-automatic firearm? Sometimes the accessory’s coolness factor overrides the derivativeness/ racist-ness of it– haha. The compromise was to draw her with a bow and make the arrows real and not psionic, despite how cool my teenage self thought psi-arrows were.
On a related note, as cool as I think Dust’s sexy form-fitting burqa looks, I refuse to draw her because of the inherent contradiction of a sexy form-fitting burqa.
I loved early Excalibur, like the first half of the run. I stopped regularly collecting the title when Brian became Brittanic and Prick Wisdom came. But it was around then that I got that Fleer trading card that called Meggan “Tapestry.” I loved the new codename and assumed that’s what she was using in the book. I only found out recently, the name was only ever used on the card… well there and on my drawing- hehe.
Alan Davis’ Meggan captured my imagination. I liked that her facial expressions were so sincere. It really complimented the childlike innocence he was trying to convey.
I met this girl in college who loved Alan Davis’ Meggan. She insisted that Davis drew her kinda heavy and did so in her own fan-art of the character. I didn’t have my comic collection Freshman year, so I couldn’t cross reference to be sure. So in my head, she made me picture Davis’ Meggan as kinda thick. When I finally checked back, I saw that Davis did indeed draw Meggan tall and with huge knockers. And although she wasn’t skinny, she was by no means heavy. But my friend had already done the damage, ingraining BBW Meggan into my skull. Of all the X-Women though, I see Meggan as the one most likely to wear this body type well.
I decided to go balls to the wall with Longshot and really show him how I see him. He’s a star. He’s a charmer. And he had some serious dated hair.
Instead of giving him a boring un-unique hairstyle, I chose to emphasize the mullet, making it bigger and better than ever.
Truth be told, in the hippest circles, the mullet is cool again. I can’t even count how many hot guys with ironic mullets I spy getting tons of attention here in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
And find out why everyone’s always falling in love with him with my nude version at anti-heroes.net > members gallery > fanboy > X-Men. If it’s really as big as what I gave him, I’d fall in love too, mullet and all.
Skin got a raw deal. Next to Rictor and Feral, this kid was the only Hispanic X-Person for years. I sure complain about it often enough, but I’m still mad about his pointless death. Maybe that’s why subconsciously I made his face super cute!
My cute lil’ mutie ese! LOL.
And if you guys like foreskin, you gotta take a look at my nude version. “Angelo has an extra six square feet of skin” is what they always said. See where I put some of that…

I’m not a big proponent of doing fan-art of characters I don’t know. If you’re not a FAN, then it’s not fan-art. That said, I will admit that I’ve not read a single issue with Nezhno in it. Well maybe he’s in the background of some of my books, but I don’t quite care to check right now. My excuse for including the kid is… well, he’s an X-Man, and he looks kinda cool. From what I’ve gathered, he’s half Wakandan, half German and a pacifist. Storm was his teacher and he has vibranium tattoos to keep his mass/ strength-building powers in check. It has been foretold that his powers will eventually kill him (not surprising, he IS brown, after all. Can’t keep their asses alive for too long, can we?)
His codename is “Gentle” but I find that kinda stupid, so he’s just going by his real name in my art. And in the nude version, you’ll see that his muscles aren’t the only place those mass-building powers have come in handy…

Once again, here’s Jamal, the adorable horse hung geek
from my latest series of commissions featuring ANACONDA.
This is the first piece to actually NOT feature Anaconda, as Jamal has become quite popular!
Decided to try my hand at colored pencil again, thinking that it may save time on coloring. WRONG. But iat least it came out nice, don’t you think?
