As a follow-up to last week's pic ( ), I thought I'd make use this week's pic to elaborate on a few more of my X-Men: Evolution fanfic ideas. Most of them, again, revolving around Chamber and the one member of the team he ultimately becomes closest to.

In the wake of the accident, following the emergence of his powers, Jonothan Starsmore's body no longer functions as a normal Human's does (or even a normal Mutant's, for that matter). With the psychic energy in his body essentially providing all the needs his physical body requires (and no longer having any internal organs to speak of), he hasn't had to eat, sleep or even breathe since his mutation. But this development also renders him immune to the powers of Rogue (a fact which is brought to light VERY quickly). Initially, the knowledge that there's someone Rogue can finally touch again draws them to each other out of a combination of convenience and desperation (with both of them blatantly exploiting the situation in an effort to reclaim even a sliver of the human contact they've both lost). But it doesn't take long before the bond between them quickly grows into something more.

All in all, I'm quite pleased with this pic, if for no other reason than because it was much more planned out and I wasn't shooting from the hip at the 11th hour like I was with last week's pic. This allowed me more time to make sure certain things were done right, despite the relative simplicity of the image. Truth be told, I had a number of poses in my head for Chamber and Rogue to share, but I went with this one, primarily because most of the other images, while still loving and romantic, had Rogue not looking at Chamber and I didn't really care for what that implied. So I wanted an image where the two of them were looking into each others' eyes and the emotion was clearly there.

After that (and some successful pencil work), the rest was dowhill. Even the background, though simple, turned out exactly how I wanted, looking brushed and almost like rain (sticking to that common trope where the two lovers share a magical reunion in a rainstorm). I suppose the only real challenge was in Rogue's see-through top, because the rules for it are kind of iffy. In some ways, it's transparent and in others, not. Chalk it up to the perils of hand-drawn animation, I guess. But in the end, everything turned out the way I wanted.

So what do you think? Hope you like it. And if it should happen to get anyone curious about possibly jumping on board to help co-write these fanfic ideas, so much the better. Either way, hope to hear from you. ^_^
