A set of fifteen sketch card watercolor painting, each of a different X-Men character. From left to right, top to bottom, the characters are: Dr. Moira MacTaggert, Mister Sinister, Forget-Me-Not, Eye-Boy, Boom Boom, Madelyne Pryor the Goblin Queen, Rogue, Mystique, Multiple Man, Layla Miller, Arcade, Emma Frost, Jubilee, Shadowcat (with Lockheed the dragon), and Sage.

X-Men! My #xTober2024 co-organizer @theboneforest.bsky.social asked me to draw sketch cards for all our local friends who attended the X-Men themed Seames-Ihla Halloween party, as gifts! For Christmas, everyone got a tiny painting of the X-Men character that they'd dressed as! Here's the full set!

Good news, everyone! I've got all my #xTober2024 drawings listed for sale! You can bring some some original, ink-on-paper #XMen #art home to your own upstate family manor or tropical commune Habitat! Take a look with your strange mutant eyes here: www.etsy.com/shop/jojosea...

A graphite sketch of the X-Men characters Nightcrawler and Wolverine sitting across from one another in a booth at a bar. Kurt is talking animatedly, smiling wide and gesturing with both hands. Logan is grinning back at him and raising a mug of beer to his mouth.

Supporter reward art! This sketch request was for Nightcrawler and Wolverine, and maybe something along the lines of my "Friendship" #XTober2024 drawing of the two of them. Here I've got them sharing beers at recurring X-Men hangout spot in Salem Center, Harry's Hideaway, instead of on a rooftop.

(1/2) Over the weekend I took photos of all X-TOBER ink paintings done over the course of October! 💥 Thank you again to @jojoseames.bsky.social for collaborating with me on this fun project, and to those who also participated - check out the #xTober2024 tag to see more cool art! 🖤

One last #xTober2024 thing: My output for the whole month in a pair of gridded images.

Does anyone else have a few illustrations that got scrapped? These are mine. They either came out weird... or didn't fit the theme... or were otherwise just not quite right. I dunno.

All the love in the world to @theboneforest.bsky.social , my #xTober2024 co-conspirator! United in our love of X-Men, our love of art, and our love of wearing big yellow jackets forever! 💛

A group photo of JoJo, Andrew, and friends, all in costume as different X-Men characters (including one person appearing as Mystique in disguise.)

X-Men was not only the theme of this year's Drawtober ( #xTober2024 ), it was also the theme for this year's Seames-Ihla Halloween party! A thread of the festivities...

Cheers to everyone who participated in #xTober2024: @bodydough.bsky.social, @evilgaytwin.bsky.social, @jasonkjones.bsky.social, @profwolvie.bsky.social, @clairemulkerin.bsky.social, Phantomworkings and MistyTang (on Instagram), and of course, my co-organizer on this, @theboneforest.bsky.social !

A photo of all 31 ink drawings done by JoJo Seames for the Uncanny X-Tober 2024 daily art challenge. The drawings are arranged on a blanket in a grid, in production order.

All 31 of my #xTober2024 drawings laid out together! Each one is 6 x 9 inches, done in India ink and watercolor paint on 140lb cold-press watercolor paper. 😘

A drawing done in black ink and red watercolor of the X-Men character Selene sitting sprawled on top of a pile of skulls, leaning on one that's between her spread legs, and holding up another one. She's leering at the viewer as though to suggest, "You're next!"

All 31 days of the #xtober2024 challenge.

Digital painting of the Phoenix Force and Hope Summers. The Phoenix looms above Hope with its talons extended to strike. Hope is a small figure in the foreground, standing casually with one hand on her hip and a rifle propped up on her shoulder. Text at the bottom of the image reads “Death” in flaming letters of the Krakoan alphabet. Below it in smaller font is text that reads “Rebirth” in the Krakoan alphabet.

Final day of #xTober2024! The prompt was death, so I figured I’d go with the dark side of the Phoenix. Of course, even in the darkest moments, it’s always about hope.

Day #31 of @jojoseames.bsky.social and @theboneforest.bsky.social Uncanny #xTober2024 challenge! Today’s prompt is DEATH… so I decided to end this series with the infamous Cassandra Nova #cassandanova #xmen

A pen and colored pencil sketch of Jean Grey drifting through space, dying, with a peaceful look on her face.

Xtober Day 30: Family. Illyana and Piotr have fun! #xTober2024

A drawing done in black ink and blue watercolor of the X-Men characters, John, James, and Lozen Proudstar. The two brothers are in the foreground, engaged in a friendly wrestling match that sees John dragging James down in a bulldogging headlock, while also giving him a noogie to the head. James is twisting to take the brunt of the impact on his elbow instead of his face, and he's pulling his other fist back for a punch. Both brothers are smiling, and wearing their respective Thunderbird and Warpath uniforms. Clouds of dust are being kicked up all around them. Grandma Lozen is in the background, smiling wide and holding up her phone to take photos or video of her grandsons' horseplay. Behind her in the distant background, the desert landscape around Camp Gozhoo is suggested with shapes of saguaro cacti rendered in soft blue watercolor.

Digital painting of Laura and Gabby Kinney of the X-Men and Jonathan the actual wolverine. Laura is sitting on a couch in pajamas and a robe while Gabby sleeps next to her huddled under a blanket. Jonathan is curled up by Laura’s feet. Text at the bottom of the image reads “Family” in the Krakoan alphabet.

Something cozy for day 30 of #xTober2024. I’ve about had my fill of Logan, but I adore his kids. Laura and Gabby are especially great when they get to be sisters together.

Day #30 of @jojoseames.bsky.social and @theboneforest.bsky.social Uncanny #xTober2024 challenge! Today’s prompt is FAMILY… so I decided to drew the Five-in-One, The Stepford Cuckoos (Celeste, Esme, Irma/Mindee, Phoebe, and Sophie). #thestefordcuckoos #xmen

A pen and colored pencil sketch of a baby Kurt Wagner surrounded by potential murder weapons and mysterious coins

A drawing done in black ink and yellow watercolor of the X-Men character Jean Grey, as the white Phoenix in the White Hot Room. She's floating in space, and her hair and the gold elements of her costume are made from fire and are forming the bird shape of the Phoenix.

Day #29 of @jojoseames.bsky.social and @theboneforest.bsky.social Uncanny #xTober2024 challenge! Today’s prompt is WHITE… so I decided to draw The White Queen herself, Emma Frost. #thewhitequeen #emmafrost #xmen

Xtober Day 29: White. Who has more lustrous white hair than Magneto? #xTober2024

Digital painting of Jean Grey of the X-Men as the White Phoenix of the Crown. She is a red headed white woman with green eyes. She’s wearing a white costume with gold opera gloves and a gold Phoenix emblem on her chest. Floating in front of her is a miniature galaxy with a fiery Phoenix rising from it. Text at the bottom of the image reads “White” in the Krakoan alphabet.

Day 29 of #xTober2024! There were so many prompts this month where I thought, “Phoenix?” and then remembered I wanted to save her for close to the end. Fun fact: I don’t actually care much for “Here Comes Tomorrow” the Morrison story that introduces the concept of the White Phoenix of the Crown.
