Xmen...literally speaking
Had an idea of interpreting some superheroes exactly the way their names would suggest. So first up is Wolverine, that Marvel megastar who's name is taken from an oversized, Canadian weasel.
Should be fun doing some other Xmen characters- Storm, Cyclops, Sabretooth... also thought about doing Nightcrawler, but considering his name is derived from a kind of Earthworm, it might prove difficult.
EDIT 30th March- I don't want to start a new blog entry for each addition, so I'll just keep adding to this one. Here's the latest, the giant teleporting earthworm that is...The Nightcrawler!

Hey Chris.... another cool idea... and drawing to go with it.... can't wait to see the rest of the X-tremely Literal... uh men... I guess.... you know... just to keep in time with the name... either way... good stuff..... PEACE!

Hey, thanks everyone! It was great fun to draw. Glad you all enjoyed it.
Ooh, I like yours much better! This guy has elements of Cerebus, Crash Bandicoot, Paddington Bear - all sorts of good stuff - with attitude!
Ian- Thanks! You make it sound like I actually put some thought into it. :)
Cool idea Chris, I don't the Night Crawler would be too difficult, just think "Earthworm Jim" in an X-men suit ;)
Michael- Thanks for the great suggestion. But as you can see from the version I just added, I wanted to keep it more simple and literal.
Can't wait to see storm
srh- Yeah, like gathering clouds on the horizon, ideas are starting to form in my head. ;)
hihihihihi!
this is something to wait for!
great stuff..can't wait for the rest! :)
Wow, fantastic work.
What a laugh! hahaha
Thanks guys!
I'm having fun with this. I'm starting to create origins and histories for this alternate reality Xmen team.
Who knows, maybe Marvel are in the market for yet another mutant title. :D
More to come!
hilaroius and amazing!
Thanks Seo!
LOVE the Night Crawler!
wow. really impressive. i dig the loose, organic quality of the drawings. very classic-looking, if that makes any sense.
Who you callin' an "oversized, Canadian weasel", EH??!!! LOL
NICE JOB CHRIS!!! :)
go
hehe
Thanks Greg, eh!
HAHAHA, you should check out an old xmen parody call the unfunny x-cons, where nightcrawler appears as a truncated paraplegic! The other characters are equally funny :)
Thanks Chris. I'll check 'em out.
