Weirdtober 001/031: Storm! ⚡️⚡️⚡️ - “Would you test yourself against the lightning?”
Alrighty... This year's personal theme for the month formerly known as I[n]ktober... now I'm [and probably others] calling it Weirdtober... Superheroes [with the potential of villains and anti-heroes and such, too]!!!
I mean, when you think costume on a regular basis, you kinda think Superheroes, which is what they're all about for the most part. And, I, for those who don't know me, am a huge nerd-geek with superheroes. So this was long overdue.
Normally when I do a series of something I love, I start with the things that I kinda like and end with my favorites or at least ones that I feel I need more practice before I tackle. For some reason, I decided to start with one of my absolute favorite heroes, Storm. Probably because she's my favorite. Makes sense. She isn't as perfect as I'd like, but as with last year's Drawtober, I'm really doing this for fun [*keep telling yourself that, it's okay, Nina, you'll be fine. Just let the small details go.*] 😅😂🤪
Storm is a badass goddess that deserves an equally badass movie adaptation. Oh, what could have been with Angela Basset back in the day. What would our MCU look like now? 😩
Storm has so many awesome costumes, it was hard to choose, so difficult that I ended up doing two different versions. The one that I grew up with – 90s cartoon – and then her costume from her first appearance in Giant-Size X-Men [which I also have a mug of, love it].
I didn't draw any of these ahead of time nor do I technically have a plan as to who is going to be next, just a nice long list of ones I'd like to eventually do. So it'll be a surprise for the next one – for both of us! 😂
