March is all about Forbes! This month, any and all fanart dedicated to our molecular Jesse Kilmartin or the actor Forbes March is fair game. Have fun! :)

Mutant X Finales! Since last month was about the beginning of Mutant X, at year's end, it's time to think of the opposite. For December's fanart challenge, creatively reminisce about one of the three Mutant X season finales: "A Breed Apart" for season one, "Lest He Become" for season two, or "The Assault" for season three. Depending upon your feelings about the episode, the tone of the piece could be funny, sad, snide, etc. -- that's entirely up to you (heh-heh). Have fun! :)

Okay, I've just got one two icons right now but it's special... See, it's animated.



I was thinking of doing a whole post of animated icons, but it'd take a while, so I'm mostly curious as to if anyone would be interested in them. I've got episodes 1-6 of Season One, Episode 1 of Season 2 (Past as a prologue) and episodes 21 & 22 of Season 3. I've found a source (veoh.com) where I can download them so if you've got an scene that you'd like me to do from any episode, let me know!

I'm definitely taking requests with these. I can never find what to say on animated icons- it's odd.

Oh, I've got another one I completely forgot to put in my last post!

Let me know which style you'd like! Mini-movie verses Still Frames, and what text you'd like, what scene of what episode, etc. If no one speaks up, I'll probably end up doing a bunch of random ones, so input is appreciated :D

I'm so glad the mutantx_fanart challenge is back. I've missed the impetus it gives me to keep drawing Brennan and Jesse. It's been well over a year since I last watched an episode of Mutant X so I've got to consciously try and keep in touch with these guys. The October '07 challenge had a seasonal musical theme, involving a passage of lyrics from the musical Titanic, which you can read here. We're just entering Spring down here at the bottom of the world, but it's been a fairly wet and gloomy start to the season these past few weeks, so despite the incongruity with the beginning of 'Fall' in the northern hemisphere, I still felt like I was able to get in the right mood for this piece.

This month's challenge will be Mutant X: Beginnings. It was six years and one month ago that the very first episode of Mutant X aired in the United States. Celebrate the sixth anniversary by creatively paying homage to the first two episodes of the show, "Shock of the New" and "I Scream the Body Electric," in any way you'd like. As usual, the results will be due at the end of this month (or thereabouts). Have fun! :)

I cant seem to stop doing MX graphics. I've got two challenge entries for the October challenge (Really, it's only a few days late ;D) Wallpapers for everyone's viewing pleasure. Feel free to nab!

Back by popular demand: the monthly fanart challenges. :)

Since fall is upon us, I thought a seasonal musical challenge would be appropriate. For this month's challenge, incorporate some part of the following song lyrics into a piece of Mutant X-themed fanart, be it a drawing, icons, wallpaper, etc. Responses are due by the end of the month or thereabouts. Have fun!

From the musical Titanic:

Autumn
Shall we all meet in the Autumn?
Golden and glowing by Autumn
Shall we still be best of friends?
Best of friends

All through each languorous season
We ebb and flow
Romance, defying all reason
Will come, then go

Still, perhaps this Autumn
Love won't retreat in the Autumn
All that we have won't be past
Won't be past

Let breezes blow
And turn cold
As we continue growing old
This Autumn
Love newly found
May yet last

Almost two months have passed since I last hosted one of my challenge submissions. In that time I've been busy working on two separate artworks, for the April and May contests, and, since I've recently finished both and since they're now both late, it makes sense to post them together in one entry.

In honour of April's Fool's Day, April's challenge prompt was "What Would NEVER Happen in Mutant X?" and called for the odd, the strange and the weird. Well, I'm pretty sure you've never seen the MX guys in a situation like this before! And in recognition of the holiday season I threw in a touch of Easter as well.

( From another world... )

May's challenge was equally stimulating and no less challenging: create a snapshot of Mutant X for someone who's never seen the show before and describe it to them in one piece of fanart. I decided to go for a relatively straightforward interpretation of the prompt, which nonetheless incorporates everything I love about this show: it's comics, it's superheroes, it's mutant powers, it's two hot studs, it's slash, it's you!

In the area of odd celebrations, it turns out that May in the U.S. is Better Sleep Month, National Good Car Care Month, National Photo Month, National Salad Month, National Egg Month, National Barbecue Month, National Foster Care Month, Older Americans Month, Electrical Safety Month, Better Hearing and Speech Month, National Bicycle Month, National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, National Military Appreciation Month, Revise Your Work Schedule Month, Date Your Mate Month, National Hamburger Month, National Mental Health Month, National Skin Cancer Awareness Month, National High Blood Pressure Awareness Month, National Arthritis Month, and Fungal Infection Awareness Month. :D

As funny as it would be to try to tie egg salad, barbecued hamburgers, and fungal infections together into a fanart challenge, I think I'm going to go with the photographs on this one. So this month's challenge will be to create a snapshot of Mutant X for someone who has never seen the show before, and is curious to know what Mutant X is all about. How would you describe the show to them in one piece of fanart? This can be a montage, a video, an important moment with your characters of choice, whatever you'd like. Have fun with this! :)
