The Tawmis Coloring Book (formerly "Coloring Ka-Zar")

[Tawmis]

Almost done with the left side.

[Tawmis]

Progress over lunch.

[Tawmis]

Phase one done.

[Tawmis]

Dibble and dabble of shadowing.

Very nice. I'm guessing this is from the '90s?

Right smack in the middle; 95 to 96.

Long story short, Xavier's son (Legion) goes back in time to kill Magneto, and accidentally kills his father Xavier, so the X-Men are never formed.

Fun, year long story, where all the regular "X-Books" (Excalibur, X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Generation X, X-Force, Wolverine, Cable, X-Factor) all stopped and got rebranded as X-Calibre (this was obviously Excalbur), Gambit and the X-Ternals (this was X-Force), Generation Next (was Generation X), Astonishing X-Men (X-Men/Uncanny X-Men), Amazing X-Men (X-Men/Uncanny X-Men), Weapon X (Wolverine), Factor X (X-Factor), X-Man (Cable).

Ah, more progress ... the blue guy on the left, yes? I thought his face was supposed to be blue too, but oh well. *shrug* Maybe he's underwater or something? I see he has blue pupils now. Does he shoot ice from his hands, a la Sub-Zero from the Mortal Kombat games?

And whoops -- I completely missed your progress from yesterday, and now it's done. (I was replying to your post from the last page, my bad). Anyway, nicely done!

And if the writers are going to rename the X-Men, I have one or two other ideas they might care to try:

- X-Tra Men (some muscular he-men types show up and audition to be the next X-Man, a la the "X Factor" TV show ... and they all fail dismally, but in hilarious and lethal-or-almost-lethal ways)

- Ex-Men (due to some hilarious accident, one of the X-Men gets turned into an X-Woman. One or more of the X-Men make sexist remarks, and he gets to kick some sexist male butt. What happens next is up to the writers: does the former X-Man try to become male again? Does he prefer being female? What does he learn from the experience? Etc.)

What do you think?

(I'm sorry if these ideas are bad. I spent yesterday doing my 8:30am to 5pm day job, then rehearsing at night ... and then it took me 90 minutes to get home instead of 40 minutes, because some yo-yo driving a cattle-truck decided to crash it into a railway bridge. This closed not just my railway line, but also three others ... so everyone living in the south of my city had some fun times getting home. Obviously, I am utterly, utterly exhausted this morning (ugh), but I'm sure there are lots of others who had to spend even longer getting home ... not to mention the police, the veterinarians dealing with scared cows, gov't officials etc. dealing with the situation ... sheesh. It was -- drumroll -- an udder cow-tastrophe.

Sorry)

- Ex-Men (due to some hilarious accident, one of the X-Men gets turned into an X-Woman. One or more of the X-Men make sexist remarks, and he gets to kick some sexist male butt. What happens next is up to the writers: does the former X-Man try to become male again? Does he prefer being female? What does he learn from the experience? Etc.)

So there was another comic company that tried to ride the coat tails of the X-Men's success.
The X-Men are mutants, people born with these special powers (as opposed through some accident like the Hulk, or injected like Captain America, or smart like Tony Stark).

So this other company made a book called "The Ex-Mutants"... which, was a book about young people with special powers. (Wasn't a bad book, for back then, but hyper sexualized the women, as comics did in the 90s... well, always, but the 90s really brought it forward)... it's even common now, just look up "Emma Frost" or "White Queen Marvel" to see what Emma Frost (barely) wears... and back in the 80s? She was relatively small breasted... now? Her breasts are fighting to break free of her outfit and bounce freely.

The Ex-Mutants.

Expand for Emma Frost...
There's no nudity, but just in case you're somewhere, where someone might be walking by... lol

Emma Frost in a sexy outfit, normal breasts.

Emma Frost with... an outfit that denies physics and breasts exploding outward... pass.

Ah, silly Tawm! You forgot the Rules of the Internet. Specifically these:

Rule 34: If it exists, there is p0rn of it. No exceptions.
Rule 35: If there is no p0rn of it, p0rn will be made of it.
Rule 36: No matter how f***ed up it is, there is always worse than what you just saw.

Pass the Brain Bleach, please...

Been messing around with different ways to digitally color... can say, I found a way I dislike doing and the results.

[Rath Darkblade]

The first one is brighter, which is why I like it better.

And by the way ... whoever drew that guy with the number 4 on his chest...? There seems to have a distinct problem with scale.

(His head is TINY compared with the rest of his body).

Hahah! That's Mr. Fantastic. Think "Plastic Man" (if you're familiar with him) - same powers - he can stretch his body.

[Rath Darkblade]

Sorry, not familiar with either Mr. Plastic or Mr. Fantastic. But I've seen bits of "The Incredibles" (and I saw a bit in "The Simpsons", where Bart and Lisa do a shtick called "Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl" - see below). Is that what you mean?

Yes, it literally looks like they're doing the Mr. Fantastic (stretch) and Thing (rock dude) from Fantastic Four.

It shows the time gap - I realize - when you're not familiar with Plastic Man. He was... plastered... all over Saturday Morning Cartoons (when that was a thing... damn I am old...) and a part of the Super Friends.

[Rath Darkblade]

I remember Saturday Morning Cartoons, so you're not old.
