The Ace of the X-Men!

Hey guys, I've got another X-Man for you! I now give you...Remy Lebeau! The mutant Cajun known as Gambit!

First of all, let me just say, this is now my new favourite pic I have done so far out of the Marvel character drawings I've done! I love how this has turned out more than Carnage and Mister Sinister did! Wasn't easy though as this was my third attempt at him! The first time I didn't like the way his coat looked and the second I had a problem with the way he threw his cards.

I wanted to give Remy a decent card throwing pose whilst displaying his technique at the same time. So I looked through my comics for ideas on how to get it right and finally, here is the result. Quite possibly my finest piece yet!

Gambit's inclusion now brings the X-Men pics up for 4 I believe. I think I'll do one more before moving onto a different type of Marvel character.

And here's X-Man number two of the day!

The second X-Man I have for you today is none other than Peter Rasputin, the mutant known as Colossus!

I wasn't planning to draw him for a while but one of my mates loves Colossus and has been waiting to see him for a while now so I decided to give him what he wanted to see. This time my goal was to give Colossus a shining effect on his metallic body. I did so by leaving streaks of white on the metal and gave his head that little bit of sparkle shall we say.

He's turned out pretty well but I'm considering adding a light shade of blue to some parts of the body to possibly make him look better. Not decided yet for sure but if I do, I'll post an updated pic.

Might do a couple more X-Men before I move onto the next lot of characters.

BAMF! Nightcrawler appears!

BAMF!

I present to you all Kurt Wagner: The X-Man known as Nightcrawler!

I first drew the character in an acrobatic pose from his circus days. But as I drew it, I realized he'd look better as if he jumped out of smoke from teleporting in! So I added in that effect and to begin with, I was unsure. But after applying some colour to it, I think it turned out really well! I did put in some purple on Kurt's body too but isn't quite as noticeable from these pics.

This is just one of two X-Men I have for you today! The second shall follow shortly...

"I'm the best at what I do!"

Kicking off the X-Men line of characters is none other than perhaps the most recognizable character of the team...Wolverine!

As I mentioned before, I've not done any members of the X-Men yet, despite having done two of their villains, Magneto and Mister Sinister, already. Well I decided they were long overdue, so I took up my pencil and produced this beauty! He honestly turned out much better than I dared to imagine! The sketch satisfied me, but after filling in the black and blue parts, I began to fall in love with it. I used three different shades of blue to get the tone you see above and I honestly think I got it spot on! By the time I had finished colouring him, he looked ready to come alive! I'm actually pleased with how this bub turned out, and I don't like to compliment myself a lot so this is certainly something!

I will be continuing with the X-Men line for a little bit and hopefully get round to characters like Cyclops, Phoenix, Nightcrawler, Gambit, Beast, Storm and many more...Maybe not all at once but possibly another two or three before I move on to a character from either the Marvel Knights universe or the Fantastic Four universe...or maybe a quick Spidey villain as there are loads of them I'd love to get done!

Something Sinister this way comes...

I'm back guys after an eventful couple of months. May was full of birthdays and other events that kept me busy, while I spent a couple of weeks in hospital in June. Nothing to worry over though as I'm now fit and getting on with things once again.

So back to drawing, here is one of my favourite villains in the Marvel Universe. Nathaniel Essex, also known as Mister Sinister!
This has been a character I have wanted to draw for a long time and I'm really pleased with how he has turned out. I decided to give him a darker tone to his costume and added in a mix of black to go with his dark blue colour. I felt that it would make him look more...well, sinister!

I have plenty of characters lined up that I'd like to do. I'd like some more Spidey villains and considered the likes of Green Goblin, Mysterio, Doctor Octopus, Electro and Lizard. But I've also noticed I actually haven't done any X-Men yet either so will be looking into bringing in characters like Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Gambit and Jean Grey/Phoenix amongst others. Plus I still have the Fantastic Four characters to do, as well as Marvel Knights like Daredevil, Elektra, Blade, Punisher and Ghost Rider. I think the Avengers have enough for now...

All this to come guys! Gonna be busy, busy, busy!

Now comes Carnage!

Look out guys! There's a killer pic on the loose causing that which he is known for. That's right everyone! Here comes Carnage!

Naturally it took a lot of concentration to ensure that every detail made the character look perfect. I put a lot of effort on the 'coils' if you like, basically the black tentacle-like parts of him to make him look spot on. Took me about 4 hours to draw the actual pic and another 4 or so to colour him. Every time I draw a pic and think it's my new favourite, another follows later on and currently this is up there in my favourites! Definately one of the ones I've concentrated the most on!

Keep your eyes peeled for more coming soon!

Holy Chimichangas!

Hey guys!

I'm a little late with this post as I finished this drawing a few days ago but I now give you...Deadpool!!

In case anyone has noticed it, I based this picture off of the CMFC figurine. I made a few changes like posing him in a mirror image to his figurine, gave him two swords to hold instead of a sword and gun, a couple of slight changes to his costume but all in all I'm pleased with how he turned out!
Coming up nex-whoa whoa! What the!? Hmm..mmm...MMM!!!!

"Hey folks! Deadpool here breaking the fourth wall as I always do! Look at me! SV here made me look sooooo pretty! Would you all say he got my good side...?......The right answer is every side is my good side!! I might have to steal this, frame it and put it on Death's bedroom wall so she can look at me every night...Ow! Sweet Chimichangas, SV bit me! Whattya mean my hand is sweaty!? I'll show you sweaty! Oh! Guys! Keep an eye out for my game later this year! It's gonna be BOOMING! Speaking of which I promise you all there'll be plenty of booms and even boom booms from the lovely ladies themselves including Death and Psylocke and Cable!? Ummm yeah, Cable too then. Anyway I gotta say ciao for now! I can see a feral Wolverine about to slice me up. Smell you laters!"

Jeez! Deadpool really needs to wash his hands! But yeah, as I was saying...
