Description Above is the first page in a new sketchbook I've been dicking around with for going on three weeks now in my "Spare Time." And by that I mean a literal line here... a line there... a scritch and scribble on occasion, if I'm lucky. An process when "free time" amounts to "two minutes until you're up for dailies" - but still an entertaining and much needed little project, especially given my recent musings over the idea of turning Nexus into a graphic novel one of these days (Though, hell if I know where I'd get the time. lol!)

Anyhow! Here's Nexus in its current incarnation, including some new-comers. Clockwise from top left: Blitzkrieg, Geist, Kayo, Noir, Creeper, Oracle, Shay, Dante, Inferno, Annex, and Velocity. (Note - Blitz, Geist and V are not "frequent" members of the team, but would tend to pop in and out of the picture on a routine basis.) All are pretty spot-on in their designs as I see them at current, save for Velocity - She'll be up to bat for a re-design soon, as this look just isn't suiting her character well at all. Over all though, this page has been a fun little diversion, the minute or two per scribbles I got in on it. Plus it was really fun to draw this gang again - it's been a while!

Ohman, I used to follow the Nexus thing when I was... 14? I know there was a site I used to read it on and I'd love to re-read it at some point, because your artwork and these characters right here are actually what got me somewhat interested in the X-Men.

I miss your OCs so much! Always a pleasure to see them again -- new faces and old alike! Also nifty to see how your style evolves over time... as does the characters'! (I see home new hairstyles!)

Super-tight pencils, love it. And Inferno -- unnnnnnghhhhhhh

Me too, so much! I swear, if I get free time, turning this thing into a graphic novel would be too fun.

Isn't it fun doing little scribbles in spare time? It comes up with some great stuff!! I love the collage feeling of this. Some pretty intense facial expressions going on here, too. I think my favorite is the angry dude in the bottom righthand corner. He looks like a viking or something!
