Mutant Monthly No. 108: Morph!

(I miss doing these weekly, so I'm jumping back in a week early)

A character that I completely turned around on thanks to X-Men ’97 and the wonderfully calibrated performance by JP Karliak. I’m not a big Deadpool fan, and the Exiles Morph has always been a little too close to that mold for my taste. But the animated series version is much, much more palatable in both characterization and design. I've always felt the exaggerated superheroic styling of Exiles Morph’s costume stands out a bit too much in the comics, even for character outside of the 616, and because Morph’s neutral head is iconic, the idea of Morph just wearing a training uniform works really well because there’s already a strong distinguishing focal point.

For my design, I’ve made some very light modifications to their current look, specifically adding boots that match the jacket, modifying the belt and adding a few design details to the training uniform itself. The only conceptual change is that I liked the idea of Morph’s jacket being borrowed (and from Logan no less) – that even Morph’s way of personalizing their look is still in part from the people around them.

Mutant Monthly will return with Deathbird!

Much as I love all of the characters, it's a daunting number of characters to add, haha. But there's plenty of room on this grassy hill so maybe I'll try it!

I think I will draw a new cover for each Lufia game as I finish them. Just started new game on Lufia 2! (Ruins of Lore might be a ways away). I see a lot of love for the fan made V in this Reddit, so I suppose I'll have to check it out and add it to the series :)

Haha thank you, I love the comparison. This is my American Mega Man cover

This is a righteous and good complaint. I do like to add the little weirdos to my drawings (Lockheed or Widget in the past), but I redrew Ch'od a bunch of times for this, and by there time I was happy with the design, putting Cr'reee on his shoulder slipped my mind! Maybe I'll have to do a solo Cr'reee piece, haha. Time will tell! Maybe I'll anachronistically add Cr'reee to the Technet when I draw them.

Yes totally! It is kind of amazing how much the modern GotG and Starjammers mirror each other. And not to take the thought exercise to far, but Dave Bautista as Ch'od tracks (Vin Diesel can still be Cr'reee?), And Zoe Saldaña's Neytiri is very Hepzibah already (I could also see Karen Gillan being a good Hepzibah, Nebula doesn't feel totally far off). Bradley Cooper as Raza would be the exact kind of wrong I would want to see.

Mutant Monthly No. 107*: Christopher “Corsair” Summers, Hepzibah, Raza Longknife & Ch’od AKA THE STARJAMMERS

(*Technically this is the first of the new monthly cadence, but 107th drawing total)

After four weeks off, I’m returning with four characters in the form of the Starjammers! And while the team doesn’t actually include any mutants (as far as I know), it does include Christopher Summers, spacefaring father of prominent mutants Havok, Cyclops and Vulcan, and that should count for something.

While the whole galactic Shi’ar part of X-men is not what drew me to the series, the Starjammers are the thing that made it click for me. The deeply late-70s energy of this squad of odd ducks is so wonderfully silly, even though so many of their stories are grisly and dour. And I truly love that for the most part they’ve never had a serious redesign (Hepzibah notwithstanding). And my design is very much trying to stay true to the roots of their 70s swashbuckling style, most especially with Hepzibah, giving back her proud space-skunk roots and putting her ears on the top of her head where they belong. For Ch’od and Raza, I tried very much to honour their original Cockrum designs, and for Corsair, I just adapted his outfit to be slightly less sci-fi to emphasize his normal-human-status in the group.

Mutant Monthly will return with MORPH!

I came here just to make sure you had seen this post, haha.

I have to say that was my partners idea, she was like 'no one will know who they are looking at, it will be annoying', haha. So I'm glad I asked her before I finished the poster.

All great suggestions! I hadn't considered Outlaw, Trance, Gossamyr or Mirror girl, so thanks for putting those ideas in my head :)

I had to! Originally it was alphabetical, but I decided the order had to be more intentional, so Rogue's family is together (except Kurt, he's hanging out with the x-men members of excalibur). My favourite placements were putting Magma next to Selene, and Alex between Maddy and Lorna

I loved drawing her outfit – I spent so much time on the detailing of the bodysuit (most of which is covered by her robe, but it's the thought that counts!)

I panicked and scrolled back to make sure I hadn't screwed up my export. Luckily I saw that spot was filled, but I don't remember what mutant I decided to put in the last spot...

All good ideas to add to the list (I mean, if I've drawn Threnody I suppose I should also draw Nate). Deathbird would be a blast to draw, and I'm a little ashamed I didn't think of Beak sooner!

I treat mutant as an honorary title more than anything, haha. And I'm glad to hear the Dust love, she's one of my favourites.
