I'm prepared this month! Well okay so I already had this done, but still, I'm prepared!

Yay for WILDFIRE month! You know I got stuff to post...

I'll kick this off with a bunch of old stuff you've likely seen already...

And now for some new stuff...
Here's what Wildfire might look like in the new Legion cartoon series:

Wow! Some awesome stuff already... Great work guys.
Here's one that I too did a while ago and some may have seen.

Great stuff so far! DrakeB3004, this is certainly your forte. I've done lots of Wildfire images over the years, but I think I'll do something new for this exhibit.

Well, I guess I'd rather show an older photomanip I did....

Wow cool pics guys makes me want to start drawing again.

Here's an alternate version of the Drake...

Drake, like you Wildfire has always been my favorite Legionnaire, and I really love seeing your pics of him.

Great stuff! This is my fave!

Dean & Wayne - great manips!

And part one of a four-part series entitled: "Wildfire: Legionnaire No More!"

Part 2

love the kirby dots! and you used one of those chickeny-headed aliens!

Drake,
Just want you to know that I think the pages look fantastic. Looking forward to the whole set being complete. You're totally pro level!

Those are fantastic Drake! *awed*

Keep them comin' Drake! Great to see Wildfire in action again!

Part 3

Why didn't anyone tell me Drake was doing a new Wildfire set? These are absolutely gorgeous! Better than some of the back-up art we get on the current series. Makes me want to break out Paint Shop and start coloring. Any chance of getting some larger scans to play with the color?

Ooo, the story's really coming along. Can't wait for the conclusion!

Here's the conclusion (finally!)



I'm kinda bummed though that I'm the only one who supplied new images for this gallery!

That's a superb short story, and it's so clearly told that it almost doesn't need dialogue. (I'd love to see someone try color for it, though.)

You've been so adept at portraits that I genuinely didn't expect this sequential art. With a bit even left hanging (whither the ring on the floor?). A vivid bit of a tale for two of my favorite Legion people!

Nicely done, DrakeB3004!

Yeah, you know, I was really busy in June or else I would have contributed something. Maybe I will now that things are mellowing out for me....

Here's a quick colored sketch. My critique of my own work would be that I think this would be better if I showed his arms, with the image centered better. Otherwise, I felt like this was a pretty dynamic image.

Fresh off the photoshop:

Ha! Great job ME Lad - he's so cute!

And Dean, you continually impress me with how effective you can be with a quick sketch and a little bit of color!

Looks like I haven't posted this yet:

From back in 2003

I put a Cockrum head and chest insignia on a Perez body but it needs to be recolored.

Here's the original cover the above image is based on.

You know I've never read that story.

Great DOFP homage, and I love the Wildfire/Dawnstar pic above it too....gives Dawny a touch of narcissism which doesn't surprise me in the slightest..

I was 15 when it came out & it rocked my world!!

Kingdom Come did that for me, at least in my case.

Cockrum Wildfire.

You can find it in Essential X-Men. I really enjoyed those issues.

I like this parody cover. Wildfire definantly fits in Wolverine's place.

Erg 1 no more, the name is

Yes, it changed comics.
After this story, Marvel came up with lots of ways to kill the X-Men and still keep them.

I asked Claremont about the results of this issue and he got angry.
Then, later, he apologized and said (paraphrased) that he never intended or foresaw the resulting bloodbaths.

sigh
At least, that's how I remember the conversations.
