the X-MENAGERIE! SUBMITED!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Emptees love please!

after all the work - we finaly submitted it!!!
THANKS SANTO76 FOR YOUR AMAZING FLASH HELP!

the X-MENAGERIE - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More

LOVE IT ON EMPTEES!

yeah - here is a preview of my collab with alice x. zhang aka silverqe:

the idea is to build an animal team of x-men characters:
here are the first compostion:

on the next version we decide to change the owl into an eagle
and i did some animals new:

more inking:

explanation:

but today alice wrote me that she found out, that an
wolverine is a real animal!!!

holy crap :-(

so i canceled working on the current version and did
a new sketch with another copmposition and changed the
wolf into an wolverine because it makes more sense to do
wolverine as the real wolverine:

what do you people think - is the new version ok?
are we on the right way now?
thanks for help

what's better? panter cyclops or panter rogue?

this is my new composing idea - good?

here we go: the new penciling:

TEST on tee:

finished linework:

new test on tee:

current coloring:

test on grey tee (BB):

haha. awesome doods.

I'm in wolverine country!

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:08am

and - do you think it is better to draw him as a real wolverine?

Andreas Mohacsy on Apr 07 '10 at 5:08am

the illustration is looking ace and people eat this shit up - good luck:)

spacesick 2 on Apr 07 '10 at 5:12am

probably would be a good idea. it's a shame you did the whole wolf already!

joaolauro on Apr 07 '10 at 5:13am

man, i love wolverine as a wolf! i'd keep that one.

I think all the animals are superbly drawn, no point about that.

but (apart from wolverine and professor X) i found it a bit difficult to relate the other animals to the other mutants. maybe you could use the colors to make that correlation more obvious, painting the animals according to the respective mutant uniform.

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:14am

thanks mitch - yeah but i am not lucky with the current version since i knew there is a real wolverine out there hahaha

ivejustquitsmoking on Apr 07 '10 at 5:15am

I do like the new layout!!

joaolauro on Apr 07 '10 at 5:16am

the name wolverine has a lot of wolf in it, already...

i think it's a great animal to base the character on, regardless if there's an animal called wolverine.

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:16am

yeah - thanks - joalaouro - the coloring is alice's part ;-)

but first i want to bring the composition and line art home :-)))

joaolauro on Apr 07 '10 at 5:19am

i've just checked the REAL wolverine.

1) nobody knows about it

2) everybody will think you used a marmot

3) wolf is much more badass

4) you can always use the name of the character as an excellent explanation (WOLVES)

ivejustquitsmoking on Apr 07 '10 at 5:22am

I like the balance in the second one but I like how fierce the animals are in the current

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:25am

hahaha - yeah - i didn't know him too :-P

but he looks pretty badass in my opinion and he don't looks like a

marmot

i always thought wolverine is something like a wolf name ...

thanks ;-)

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:27am

the will look fierce in the new verion too broh ;-)

i just did a 5 min sketch to figure it out how it would works with

the wolverine

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:28am

btw - i guess the new version is more wearable and fits better on a shirt

joaolauro on Apr 07 '10 at 5:29am

this will score VERY high, anyway.

i can already imagine alice's colors on that. :)

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:31am

jim lee? - i just know bruce lee :-P

soloyo on Apr 07 '10 at 5:31am

Any X-man fan knows there are real wolverines!

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:32am

yeah - alice is the queen of coloring :-)

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:32am

haha - i hope so soloyo

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:33am

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:37am

googled this broh - yeah - he did some neat drawings :-)

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:40am

And... if colossus was a gorilla? a big gorilla.

i think elephants are more badass and the elephant head makes a neat round up on the top

soloyo on Apr 07 '10 at 5:43am

The animal to the left of wolvering, I hope that it's not a sabertooth ( wolverin worst enemy )

and how does it relate to Rogue's power?

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:46am

i turn rogue into a black panter in the new version

well - i think no animal makes sense for her superpowers

EN AJUSTES on Apr 07 '10 at 5:46am

A few things:

I think Jim Lee is classic.

Iceman as a polar bear is brilliant.

I like Colossus as an elephant, and even Wolverine as a wolf.

Aaaand:

Bad Wolvie! - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:46am

and panters looks cool ;-)

soloyo on Apr 07 '10 at 5:49am

there's a black panter super heroe on the marvel universe already I think ( might confuse some people )

EN AJUSTES on Apr 07 '10 at 5:51am

Not gonna spam my current sub here, but I'd like to mention that Ross and I were considering throwing a wolverine into the scene, after a suggestion given by an effinawesome blogger.

B 7 on Apr 07 '10 at 5:52am

Looks amazing to me! a real as shame to let that original version go to waste, it's so good. But I'm sure the new version will look just as amazing

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:53am

thanks peeps!

there's a black panter super heroe on the marvel universe already I think ( might confuse some people )

what do you think would work better for rogue?

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:54am

or should we loose rogue and change the panter into a red panter for phoenix?

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 5:55am

i was thinking about a cardinal bird as phoenix ...

soloyo on Apr 07 '10 at 6:05am

Rogue is in my opinion one of the bad asses of X-men but using an animal to represent her will be next to impossible.

A Chameleon could work if it wasn't such a lame animal

HAHA.sg on Apr 07 '10 at 6:11am

another collab=another PRINT!!!:)

psykomakia on Apr 07 '10 at 6:24am

Anyone in the midwest (Big Ten country) knows there are real wolverines. (Think University of Michigan.)

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 6:41am

hahaha - oh man - oh man ...

i do a black panter with a white streak on the head and i hope people will get it ;-)

Andreas Mohacsy on Apr 07 '10 at 6:43am

i can't believe you only have 1 print, your execution is consistently outstanding...

threadless confuses me

kooky love on Apr 07 '10 at 6:43am

GREAT!

ratkiss on Apr 07 '10 at 6:48am

even though I know about real wolverines but I don't think that keeping the wolf as him is bad, I think it looks great.

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 7:03am

thanks andreas :-) glad you like my stuff!

well - but maybe it makes it more interessting to use the wolverine and not the wolf ...

PBOt on Apr 07 '10 at 7:18am

MAN that is looking amazing!! the detail on the wolf is looking superb, but I'm sure you'll be able to take that detail through to the actual wolverine!! This is gonna KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS! once its done

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 7:19am

thanks dude - i hope i do it better than the first version ...

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 7:25am

has anybody an idea for "phoenix"?

soloyo on Apr 07 '10 at 7:41am

Red cardinal is the one closest to the phonenix

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 7:42am

hell yes - i thought the same :-)

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 8:03am

shit - female cardinal birds are not red :-(

soloyo on Apr 07 '10 at 8:08am

You don't have to have a specific character of the X-men on it, the team has change a lot thru the years, different members every so often.

badbasilisk on Apr 07 '10 at 8:12am

yes - that's true but she was so popular in the x-men movies

soloyo on Apr 07 '10 at 8:13am

well, does the female cardinal has red hair?

alvarejo on Apr 07 '10 at 8:16am

wow man, i'll just say wow. go for the second sketch!
