The weekend almost slipped by without me remembering to post the last X-Men Flashback. Almost.

Here’s Sass and Mouser as Shadowcat and Lockheed. I started shading this piece and had finished Sass when horror of horrors, the software crashed. I couldn’t recover the work so I had to start over. What a pain in the rear. But I’m really happy with the final results.

Here’s a comparison to the original mash-up. I changed the wall of the original piece to match the new one. I chose note to redo the dust effect.

That’s all for this week. A new X-Men piece will go up next week!

Hey! It’s Friday and I’m not working so I have time to post the Flashback. Of course, I wasn’t working yesterday and I forgot to post the strip, but there was a party I needed to prepare for, so…yeah.

It’s time for Rogue to make an appearance, sugah! Interesting (to me) story! I finished inking and colouring the picture a while ago. Something was off. I’d really struggled with the legs When I came to shade the piece, last week, I had to rework it. I completely redid everything below the belt several times. I’m not 100% satisfied still, but it’s a lot better than it was before. Oh and I still love shading red hair. Officially, I believe Rogue is supposed to have brown hair, but sometimes it looks red and so I went there.

Here’s the comparison to the original. I think one of the most striking differences is the dimensions of the character. Because I was trying to ape a comic book pose, I fudged on Nektara’s dimensions in the original. In the remake, I tried to adapt that same pose to work with Nektara’s actual dimensions. It’s still somewhat of a cheat, but not as obvious this time around.

That’s all for this week. More stuff next week!

Good morning (or whatever time part you’re reading this)! It’s that time, once again, to climb into the flashback machine. Let’s go!

Cyclops has always been my favorite X-Man, but then I’ve never really followed the comics. With time I’ve come to learn that he isn’t really that great of a guy, but I still like him for his design. That visor is just really cool.

Here’s Big Oonch as Cyclops, leader of the X-Furs, ready to blast bad guys!

Here’s a comparison to the original. This one is really night and day. I like Oonch (and Cyran) better with legs.

That’s it for this week. Christmas is less than a week away folks! Have a happy one! We’ll be back with another mash-up next Friday!

Hey it’s Friday and I’m posting early so I don’t forget. Yay!

Here’s Cyran as Professor X. I’m not wholly satisfied with the hoverchair.

Here’s a comparison to the original.  The new piece is just so much sharper, which is what I’d expect of course.

That’s all for this week. Another flashback to come next Friday!
