X Men, Together

Here is a composite of my colored X-Men characters from earlier in the year.

Many of them are complete costume redesigns. 

From left to right:  Marrow (original costume), Glob Herman (naked), Xavier (Morrison-era leather with my own wheelchair design), Stacy-X (redesign), Sugarman (jeans and boots instead of leather-fetish gear), Emplate (almost total redesign, more color), Adam the X-Treme (total redesign, contemporary urban hipster).

The Mighty Kwinn

Kwinn is an interesting early 80's character.  His first appearance was in GiJoe #2 by Larry Hama, and after a half dozen appearances in the early issues of that comic, he met his final fate.

In years since, he has gone on to become a cult classic of monumental proportions.

He was originally based on the Hollywood actor Anthony Quinn, especially the character he portrayed in The Savage Innocents.  This is a work in progress, as I continue to pick it up and work on it in between more prominent jobs.
