Un-inked base sketches: Protest art

[logansrogue]

Hey everyone.

Tina and I decided to do a series of drawing that depict the big heroes of DCU and Marvel in delightfully provocative and cheesecake poses. The *male* big heroes. All of these poses have been on covers and splash pages of comics, with women characters displaying them. It's about time we turned it around and showed it up for the ridiculousness of it all, don't you think?



Tina's drawings

Nightcrawler:


This brings to mind a classic Tigra pose. It's the old wheelbarrow with the 'come hither to my behind' kinda look.


Gambit:


Cocked hips, flirty smile. Emma Frost could be posing like this. But instead it's Gambit. Oh Gumbo, you tease!

Wolverine:


My favourite in this series, I think. Wolverine showing the world what he's got. Is it sexy time nao, plz?

My drawings:

Superman:


I didn't intend for this to have a vague resemblance to George Reeves, it was kinda an accident. Except, you know, he's ripped. Check it - it's a super banana hammock!


Batman:


It's Batman! Slightly gimpish with some hella foxy boots.


Cyclops:


My personal favourite of my drawings. I giggled as I drew this one. Often female characters are drawn in spine-cracking poses where both an angle of the front and the behind are seen at one time. In the spirit of Emma Frost's "Fleshy X" pattern in her white costume, Cyke here has hot-pants jumpsuit thing (if you can call it that - it's just strategically placed straps of stretchy fabric) that form an X over his arse. The centre of the X is right over his butthole. Just in case you missed the symbolism, there. It's so you gay boys know where to blow.



I have to ink these puppies (My ones, not Tina's - Tina will ink her own) then colour them in in photoshop. Probably not tomorrow cause I'm feeling really quite awful and weak after a terrible headache I had tonight. Seriously, I still feel nauseous. I think it was what the doctor called a Muscle Contraction Headache cause after Mum massaged my scalp and neck and got some chamomile tea down me, it calmed right down. I took some painkillers too, but I think calming down helped a lot. I was going out of my skull for a minute there! But I feel heaps better now. Chamomile tea is fucking awesome, yo!

You. Are made. Of awesome.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Thank you, darling. Coming from you, that's a huge compliment! *hugs*

[venus-ice.livejournal.com]

PSSHHHTT. Jean Grey don't deserve that ass.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Oh hon. You KNOW that ass belongs to Wolvie!

[asweetdownfall.livejournal.com]

These are awesome! I love the Cyclops one.

*is a dirty whore* XD

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

I love the Cyclops one too. The most fun drawing I've done in AGES. I was just sitting there giggling like a mad bitch as I drew it, which in turn made Tina giggle. We were just sitting there giggling and going, "Oh yeah, check out that ass!" LOL!

[hanabishirecca.livejournal.com]

I don't have much time but writing comic scripts is something I have done from time to time for fun. I can't draw so beyond making my voice heard where I can, their isn't much I can do about the way Marvel likes to sexually show off their female characters.

But your post just made me realize that I CAN write scripts of "comics" where male characters are treated by females the way, traditionally, that male characters treat females in their comics.

"Iron Man, leave the thinking to the women. Go over their and punch the bad guy until he's unconscious."

"Wait? Dr Strange is being mentally controlled to sleep with a women he absolutely no interest in and they are about to head off to a parallel dimension where his magic is nullified and he can never escape? Sounds nice. Hey, check out the way Wolverine looks in that speedo!"

*thinks of story ideas*

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

As long as it's satire. I'd never seriously treat a man like that.

[katarik.livejournal.com]

These are totally awesome. Tell me you're linking them to Girl-Wonder. Please.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, yes I am. I just don't know where Girl-Wonder wants them.

And they have to be coloured in yet!

[zebeckras.livejournal.com]

OH GOD *dies of giggling*

I can't believe I was dumb enough to look at this at work! XD

These are so over-the-top and fantastic. Scott is scaring me. ^_~

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Scott just wants your lovin'. In his piehole. All. Night. LONG! LOL!

[azinazelle.livejournal.com]

LMAO!! These are brilliant. My favorite is the little Superman S over Krypton's Jewels.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Hehehehe. The shield of power! Must protect those nuggets that contain the last piece of genetic information about Krypton's people!

Dude - I just realised. You don't like that new Robin Hood series - you like a different one, right? Which one is it you like?

[coell.livejournal.com]

AWESOME!!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

THANKS! Tina is clever too!

[mollymoon.livejournal.com]

Love all the art and the sexiness, but I gotta tell you: Batman looks like he has to pee. My nephews stand in that same pose when they do but don't want to be bothered going to the bathroom at that moment.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

HAhahaha. That's funny! It's okay if Batman looks silly - it's the point. It's how they have women posing on comic books all the time. :D

[pixienymph.livejournal.com]

Reminds me a wee bit of boytoons. Except... more clothed. :D

Sigh, Patrick Fillion. How I love thee.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

That's a compliment - Patrick's awesome!

[rantmaster.livejournal.com]

*basks in the awesome*

Kurt looks kinda hot, even to me. Mmmm, fuzzy elf.

I can't figure out who looks more scary, though. Logan or Scott. Heh. ;)

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Probably a tie. Maybe they're posing for each other? LOL!

[akire-yta.livejournal.com]

i love you like woah

you and your little sister too! *wonders if such a statement will get her ass ban-inated of lj*

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Woah! Careful! No incest! LOL! I was actually wondering if putting these pictures up would get me targetted.

[rhyana.livejournal.com]

OMG, I didn't recognize Kurt. *bad fan*

Nancy, could you email me please. I've got something to ask of you.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Erm - what is your email?

[hanabishirecca.livejournal.com]

I showed this post to my wife and we talked about it over the phone. I realized two things during the conversation.

First, and on a more serious nature, I've been shielding the images while I'm at work for NSFW nature. Yet, I don't have to do that for typical comic females. That is quite the statement about our culture.

Second, Gambit (my favorite ex-X-Men) is pretty damn hot. And I say that as a straight male.

[alicetheowl.livejournal.com]

*waves*

I'm the aforementioned wife. Husbands secure in their sexuality enough to agree with me on the hotness of Gambit (especially in that illustration) are sexy. ^ v ^

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

*gives you oxygen*

[mawaridi.livejournal.com]

This is brilliant!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

I thank you. And I'm sure Tina does too. :)

[greenforest-elf.livejournal.com]

o o o wolverine and spider man in heels o ooo o cyclops - keke LOVE IT!!

hey.. um... email me some details for tonight!!!


*edit - removing my email addy now lj can be searched :(

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

I didn't know LJ could be searched either. I was so mortified when an URL I didn't want to get out got out and it was *terrible*.

[xedra.livejournal.com]

*gigglefit*
You are the coolest thing in Coolville. XD

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

So is Tina! :D

[miconic.livejournal.com]

Man, these are awesome!

Colour it! And you drew Gambit!!

I'm always astounded by your drawing skills. Thanks for sharing!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Tina drew Gambit. I drew Superman. :D

[shantari.livejournal.com]

OMG! XD Fangirl-icon for you!!!

[starfyre01.livejournal.com]

Okay, all of those drawings are SERIOUSLY made of.the.awesome.

*Scott's has me in stitches! Check out that firmly packed booty! Woot!*

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

I like big butts and I cannot lie!

[maverickmonkey.livejournal.com]

How. Freeken. HOT!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

See, you'd buy HEAPS of comics if they looked like that!

[tha-prez.livejournal.com]

i thought ud make it like that spidey mock up with the undie washing. You could have nightcrawler in that pose scrubbing the floor! lol.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Naah. That was just to make fun of that particular maquette. :D

[daemonnoire.livejournal.com]

Oh dear goddess.... I NEED colored versions of these. NEED THEM.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

They are on the way, my darling. :D

[linaerys.livejournal.com]

Oh man, these are so awesome, especially the Cyclops one. You see women in that damn pose all the time, and seeing a man in it show how utterly ridiculous it is. I can't wait to see incked and colored versions!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Cyclops was a joy to draw. He's such a diva!
