fanart: Captain America/Calvin & Hobbes fusion doodle

Genre/Fandom: Captain America / Calvin & Hobbes
Characters/Pairings: Steve Rogers, Bucky (Bear)
Media: pencil
Notes/comments: An MCU Captain America/Calvin & Hobbes fusion. I decided Steve would have a normal teddy bear rather than a Bucky Bear, but in his fantasy he would be Captain America, and Bucky would be a bear, who is wearing Bucky’s blue coat, rather than any Winter Soldier design.

fanart: Steampunk Maria Hill/Steve Rogers

Genre/Fandom: Avengers (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
Characters/Pairings: Maria Hill/Steve Rogers
Media: indian ink on paper
Notes/comments: I made this for the Yuletart 2013 gift exchange for Tielan, originally posted here. For Captain America’s AU outfit I referenced bits from Ryan Meinerding’s First Avenger concept art and an American WWI uniform, rather than trying to come up with a Steampunk superhero costume for Steve or dressing him into something more Victorian. I couldn’t quite see him as a gentleman adventurer or such.

Genre/Fandom: Avengers/Peanuts
Characters/Pairings: Bruce Banner (as Hulk), Linus van Pelt
Media: colored pencil
Notes/comments: I read this post with a chat between Petra and Liviapenn about Hulk with a lead binkie, which in my mind caused me to imagine a sort of Peanuts fusion with Hulk in a Linus pose, and then this weird thing happened.

fanart: Best Laid Plans illustration

Genre/Fandom: Pinky and the Brain
Characters/Pairings: Brain/Pinky
Media: fine liner pen with indian ink, digitally colored in GIMP
Notes/comments: This an illustration for the Yuletide 2011 Pinky & Brain story Best Laid Plans by lies_d. I have to say that it is not at all easy logistically to draw these two kissing. First there’s the height difference and then the muzzles get in the way too. Also, this is supposed to be the photo of them that ends up on Facebook in the story and originally wanted to format this to appear as if posted there, like a screenshot with the website logo and such, but I do not have an account and don’t really know how the pages where photos are displayed look for the users. I tried finding screenshots of Facebook walls but they don’t seem to show photos, just comments? So now you just have to imagine it there.

fanart: Methos with a mutant baby

Genre/Fandom: Highlander/X-Men
Characters/Pairings: Methos, mutant baby
Media: acrylics on paper, original ca. 35x45cm; for more detail see this process post
Notes/comments: This is an illustration for Basingstoke’s awesome Highlander/X-Men crossover WIP Unalienable. Among many other things happening, Methos takes care of a mutant baby, carrying her around in a sling: “Methos makes a sandwich with the baby in a sling on his hip. […] Baby’s skin has flushed up bluer now that she’s feeling better. Her eyes are a bright, piercing pink. Her eyelashes and eyebrows are thick and orange but she doesn’t seem to have any hair on her head or body, not even the normal fine down of a girl’s skin. She looks garish and strange.”

fanart: another X-Men/Sesame Street doodle

Genre/Fandom: X-Men/Sesame Street
Characters/Pairings: Erik Lehnsherr, Oscar the Grouch, Fluffy, Slimey
Media: pencil
Notes/comments: Another scene from the XMFC/Sesame Street crossover in my head: Erik would visit Oscar’s trash can, and maybe he and Oscar would bond over their misanthropic outlook. But the trash can would also feel really odd to Erik’s metal sensing abilities, because it is larger inside than out, and Erik just can’t figure how this structure works, and maybe it puts him a bit on edge, when the metal in his environment feels wrong. He probably wonders whether escaping through whatever kind of dimensional anomaly leading into “Grouchland” this is, is the monsters’ backup plan should humans decide to round them all up (because of course the first thing Erik noticed, once he resigned himself to Charles dragging him into sets of singing monsters, is the complete lack of security and defensible positions).

fanart: X-Men/Sesame Street doodle

Genre/Fandom: X-Men/Sesame Street
Characters/Pairings: Erik Lehnsherr (as Magneto), Grover (as Super Grover)
Media: pencil
Notes/comments: A while ago one of Cereta’s Grading Hell Theater posts prompted me to think about the X-Men characters visiting Sesame Street. Ever since I’ve been thinking about the many awesome opportunities this crossover would bring. I mean, Sesame Street started 1969, a few years after the events of XMFC, so in the intervening years I imagine some ending fixit happened for Charles & Erik (and by extension the X-Men and the Brotherhood) or at least a temporary truce. Meanwhile with Charles trying to advance his cause of peaceful coexistence with humans, he’d manage to get Sesame Street to promote mutant acceptance alongside other diversity, and would be enthused about the opportunity to guest star with his students. (Of course in this universe the muppets are real, and working in the entertainment industry or something like that.)

Erik has no idea how exactly he got roped into the project, but it probably started with Charles arguing the importance that mutants who can’t pass also appear, so that got the Brotherhood involved (so Hank wouldn’t be the token non-passing mutant), and it all went downhill from there. And in the end because he can’t refuse Charles anything, Erik somehow finds himself appearing in sketches with Super Grover featuring capes, helmets, and the letter “M” which after all is for so many awesome words as metal, monster and Magneto… (I’m not sure when Super Grover first appeared, but he was introduced later there just has to be some canon bending, because the opportunity of these two is just too good to pass up.)
