Ok, rather than Hijack Zoob Or Kurds Thread.

Here are my x-men pictures I drew when I was 13.

Some came out OK, others came out looking like crap.

They are by no means "good". But I thought I did a good job considering that I was only 13. But my friend and I were VERY competitive on who could draw the same picture better. We would tear up 15 pages of attempts before we got to a final picture. And if he drew a better picture than me I'd tear mine up when I got home and throw it in the garbage. So as you can see, these are all that remain. :smile:

We quit right around when comic books started being drawn in that black ink style. Those drawings are amazingly hard to reproduce.
 
Hellstorm kicks ass. Sipderwoman sucks.
 
Cyrus - those are very good. You do have talent.

You are certainly above average. :approve:
 
I used to draw characters from computer games such as sonic the hedgehog which are a lot easier but I misplaced then a few years back. These are certainly better than anything I did at taht age.
