SKETCH#024

So I meant to add Lockheed to the Shadowcat sketch the other day. Started looking up some info on the most inexplicable X-men cast member ever and was blown away at the level of back story that exists. Turns out he's super intelligent but just can't speak English, he's a spy from another planet, he was exiled to Earth, and he's very selective of Kitty's relationships with men (he approved of Colossus apparently). What?! And here I thought he was just a little purple bit of kid's marketing magic in 'Pryde of the X-men'. I think he even had the voice of slimer making little cutesy dragon noises. That guy got a lot of work back then huh?

OK, I have a super nerdy question, but I guarantee the purists among us have an opinion on this. The little metal pieces on Mr. Snikty Snikty Snarr's hands, do we like them? I always used to draw them as a kid, but I'm not sure I like them always. I assume they're intended to stay implanted in the skin so he doesn't cut himself every time the claws come out. But he doesn't wear them unless he's in uniform? Didn't he have them when he escaped from Weapon X? My comic book knowledge is rusty these days. Vote for implants, nothing or for a redesign of Wolvie's claw implants.

SKETCH#009

I intended to redesign The Dazzler, but it started looking like someone else. Then I realized that Jubilee is just a rebranded Dazzler, playing the rebellious youth character that the demographic is supposed to relate to. Then I wondered how I've gone this long without realizing that, and then I realized I have better things to think about. This might require a redraw.
