Sometimes the best place to get your thoughts in order is up in the clouds...
...which is exactly what I've been doing for the past week! I'm finally back in Tampa from flying above the lower half of the grand US of A and busy preparing for my next flight out to NYC this coming wee...

Kara does not understand stealth. Like, AT ALL.
If you check out the initial rough for this one, you'll see I originally was going to include a few more cats. But, I just mentioned stealth, and a bunch of cats seems like a horrible idea to quietly sneak into a museum with, even for...

Similar to the Golden prompt, thought about giving a cameo to a certain Legion member for this one but, also like that Golden prompt, I liked this idea better. Although in retrospect, I guess I still could have drawn him in it. Ah well. Haven't had a whole lot of time this week to spend on these,...

Don't worry, Streaky. You're still Kara's number one.
I'm at Bedrock City Con today (and tomorrow)! Come out and see me if you're nearby. :)

Ivy break. Gotta keep those plants watered.
Flying out to Houston today! Hopefully will be able to get another of these inked.

Thought about drawing Booster for this one, but I liked this idea more.
And because a few might be wondering, that is intended to be Betty Kane: the Golden Age Batgirl (not Babs) up there. Silver Age Supergirl of course because she wasn't around just yet.
Speaking of gold, I'm actuall...

Guess I gotta draw Kara in a space suit now. Oh, darn! :)
This was a fun one. I didn't want to draw your typical parchment style map so decided that a star chart might be something a little more different (plus I got to design a simple space outfit for Babs). The only trick is, for someone ...

Ding, ding, ding. Harley enters the ring! Likely won't be the only time she shows up this month. Can't say for certain she's gong to fare better than this situation though.

Like I mentioned a few days ago, I'm going to be traveling a lot this month, starting this week. Not all work/comic related stuff which is nice (albeit a touch stressful in the midst of getting SuperBatobers done). The stuff that is comic related though I've listed below for you. Hope to maybe se...

I just imagine that wherever Kara lives, the color and type of floor she has is a complete mystery.
Remembered to snap a pic of the inks this time! Let's see if my brain can keep up with that.

Here's the next SuperBatober in advance of tomorrow. Thought it was about time Kara got her Spidersona. Now I guess I gotta do one for Babs!
And sorry, in my rush to get these done, I keep forgetting to snap a pic of the "just inks" stage. I'll try to be better at that!

In retrospect this might've been a good one to post last night instead of this morning. Ah well.
Another one later today!

Where one month of daily posts ends, another begins! My annual SuperBatober challenge starts tomorrow. Well technically, because I painted this intro piece, it guess it starts today. But mostly it starts TOMORROW!

All right, y'all! Here's an extra double-sized Rogue post to wrap up this month of X-Tember! I actually drew her twice in similar outfits so it made sense to share them both together. The featured Rouge above was actually the final X-Girl I was commissioned for; an update on this one below that I...

Hi friends!
Quick X-Tember break because my publisher informed me they are going to be revealing the cover for my third Spider-Man book today and...actually, let me check...yup! Here we go: You can read more about it 2023-09-28 21:28:29 +0000 UTC View Post
I don't know If I can give an accurate reason as to why, but of all the x-girls I've shared this month, this Betsy is probably my favorite one. Just plain ol' happy with everything about it.
Winding down! Just a couple more to go.

Here's Aurora sporting her Canadian heritage with pride! Maybe too much pride.
I admittedly was a little reluctant to make that netted maple leaf window so large, but then I realized this is totally an outfit someone would have drawn up in the 80s. SO NO REGRETS. Actually, looking ...

All right! Let's kick off the new week with a blast--or rather, a boom--or rather a BOOM BOOM (or Boomer, or Meltdown or Time Bomb or whatever she likes to be called on any given Monday).
There is just so much color and accessorizing going on here which I actually think suits Tabitha pretty...

Here's a very--although characteristic--seductive Emma Frost to round out the last of the x-villains for these 80's fashion pieces. The request was that half her body be in diamond form which was kind of fun to draw. I opted to make the diamond half a bit more ice looking since, y'know, "frost". ...

Oops! Busy day. Almost forgot to get another x-girl up for you. Sorry about that!
Anyhoo, still on the villain train so here's an updated take on the Goblin Queen sitting on a throne of her dark, little minions. Cute outfit, but I sure wouldn't want to turn a corner and come face to face wi...

Happy Friday, everyone! Well, everyone except for that poor soul next to Selene here.
This is kind of an updated take on a previous Selene I shared earlier this month. I think this one turned out a lot better. Really happy with that smile.
I'll be sharing two more x-villains over the ...

Here's another Polaris, once again possessed by Malice. I gotta admit, Lorna is a tad more interesting to me when she's fighting an evil side (even if that evil side is a malicious incorporeal mutant that at least gives you a fashionable choker to wear around your neck).
I included an alter...

Continuing with some x-villains! Here's a um...pretty voluminous Yuriko Oyama. Looking back I prrrrrobably could have rendered that chest area a little better. Still, pretty fun outfit! Much simpler than Vertigo from yesterday for sure. And happy with how her expression turned out.

OK! Time for the parade of villains. First up: Vertigo! All decked out in patterns and a style suitable to her namesake.

I know I said I was going to begin the week with some x-villains but I thought since I posted Scott and Jean on Friday, it'd be fun to post their future daughter today instead.

Happy Friday! I wanted to get some new art up here for you, so here's not one, but two new watercolor commissions I managed to finish up this week. I had free rein with costumes so decided to stick with the 80's theme we have going on this month and put Scott and Jean in outfits from aro...

Don't worry! You didn't miss any posts. After that last batch from 2015 I took a break from these X-Commissions to focus on Cleo (those last two books took a lot out of me).
Anyhoo, much like those ones from 2015, still really happy with these 2018 ones. Especially Dani. Archers can be toug...
