When people were voting for me as Community Starlet, I was trying to bribe them to change their votes.  In all honesty, it was something I still don't feel that I deserved to win.  I wanted to feel like I had done enough for the community to earn your thanks.  Among the various promises I was making to un-buy votes was some Contests (which has already begun! ;) and some of my old Fan Art.  So (as you can tell) I'm trying to retro-actively earn the title of Community Starlet. 
 
As such, I present to you my very VERY old drawing of the Weather Witch, Storm

No Caption Provided
Ooooh, yeah...  She's a mutant, alright.  With the ability to extend & distort her body beyond comprehension!  ;)   
 
I know that this was based on an actual comic image, but it' been so long that I can't remember what the original image was.   
 
To be fair, this drawing is about 14 years old.  When I drew it I didn't have much of an idea of proportions or the way that the human body was constructed (not that I do, now).  And funnier still, when I spotted this picture in Storm's gallery the other day I felt immensely better with my effort.  I was drawing Storm like a mutant-giraffe hybrid long before the professionals!  ;)

@Doctor!!!!!: It was with a bunch of Jim Lee images I'd traced by holding the comics up to the window.  They were all in a file with old bills.  I'm not sure why I kept something so nostalgic with dusty old bills... But it was a nice surprise to find them again :)

Awwwh, thats great X-K lol, thank you for sharing. I sort of regret that I destroyed/killed all my old art. I would always get annoyed with how bad it was, but now i have a kid sister trying to learn how to draw and heaping a lot of pressure on herself, I wish I could show her I use to suck a whole lot more back when I first started. Then having progression pieces.  
 
Still, thats a pretty interesting pose there, beautiful tone work with highlights and shadows too! All the intricate details like her headpiece are perfect!  
 
I would rather buy that (your) piece of original art than a certain other X-Men artist who lives on Land I presume. *cough*

@xerox-kitty: wow. Xerox, why don't you compete in the Show-Offs here. I mean the Art community here is kind of on the forgotten side, the Artist-Showoff forum, feels like a completely different world. We would love for you to be a part of it with us... we are like a close knit brothehood, we are Legion. :D
 
I sincerely hope to see more art from you.

@Aiden Cross: You were bribed!  But we ended up discussing Holland & Hawaii instead ;) 
 
@SC: I have strong memories or sitting at the patio window throughout the summer holidays & tracing Ghostbusters comics & moving on to larger-sized X-Men comics.  While I don't remember drawing Storm here, I'm sure I copied it free-hand.  Perhaps you could offer your sister some comic art to help inspire her? 
 
@Caligula: Thanks!  But I haven't drawn in over a decade.  I can't imagine what to draw without ripping off poses from other comic art.  But there are a couple more to follow  :)   
 
Oh, and no... I'm not entering my own Contest.  It's better to just host it... and I don't want the prize ;)

Nice job! Storm looks a little anorexic but awesome pose nonetheless.

Pretty Impressive Kitty :-)...for not drawing professionally and it being 14 years old I think you detailed and shaded it very well.

@xerox-kitty: I like her body like that, she's like a super model.
another great look into the secret past of xerox-kitty. 
 
by the way, you're probably the most qualified starlet candidate EVER, no IF, ANDS, or BUTS about it :)
