John Byrne's X-Men run is a big favorite of mine.  I've always liked Nightcrawler's design too, and Bryne drew him better than anyone.  Also, Nightcrawler seemed like a fitting character for Halloween, so here we are. 

Inktober was fun, laborious at times, but fun nonetheless.  I'm glad I did it.  I felt my marker game took a big leap forward, and some of my muscle memory is coming back for drawing, so that's good.

I referenced John Byrne art for this drawing.

Pokemon Red was my first Pokemon game and Charmander was my first ever (and favorite) Pokemon.  I wanted to try replicating some of the original art.  I think the originals may have been watercolors, maybe?  The coloring was hard to mimic with markers.  I used my blender until the paper was wet and it shows where there is some bleeding.

The Legend of Zelda series remains one of my favorite franchises ever.  Wind Waker Link wasn't enough, I wanted to do one of the older Links.  I believe this one is from Link's Awakening...I plucked a picture from the Zelda Arts and Artifacts book.

Bonus Akira Toriyama art!  My buddy introduced DBZ to me way back when it was syndicated early, early in the morning, before Toonami even existed.  We watched those first 60-some episodes so many times before DBZ got popular enough for the rest of them to get dubbed.  Then we had to go to Suncoast to buy the new VHS tapes because there was a long wait before they aired on TV.  Anyway, this is a reproduction of Toriyama-sans Vegeta art so the coloring and style looks different than the animation.
