Fan Art Thursday - Saturday edition - Nick Robles

[icon_uk]

My last post was about Dick Grayson in his new TV Titans costume, but what about... the opposite! :)

This is sort of NSFW-ish... in the sense you might NOT want to open it up if your boss is looking over your shoulder (or maybe you might, you might have a very understanding and/or horny boss... and not in the unpleasant inference of that phrase) but it's beefcake rather than porn.

Art courtesy of Nick Robles, the artist on the current Doctor Mirage series, which looks AMAZING!



Whilst Dick was waiting for his costumne to be finished, I like to think he was just hanging around.



That's actually some lovely art by Nick Robles (artist on the current Doctor Mirage series) But if I want to imagine Dick Grayson swinging across the city undressed like that, well... can you blame me?

A favourite platonic power-couple




And another absolutely NOT platonic power couple




And a couple of non-straight magic users, in a very different style







And since I started with one of my favourite heroic acrobats in the all-toger, how can I resist finishing with the other?

But I think I need to ease you into it... swimsuit shot!




Then locker room



And from half dressed



To... The Krakoan Mutant Nation's 2020 calendar (DaCosta Publishing), Mr November



In the words of George Takei, "Oh myyyyyyyyy!"

EVERYONE loves the fuzzy dude, but perhaps not quite as much as Mr Robles does, god bless him!

These are all fantastic, but that first one? Hubba hubba! :)

Isn't it just? :D

Lovely art!

Wait, have they ever revealed anything about Illyana's orientation or had a love interest for her? It never occurred to me, but I don't recall anything of the sort in all the years I've been reading books with her in them.

Canonically? No. But in terms of queer subtext with Kitty, she's in joint first place with Rachel;

I'd say her talk with Kitty just before Kitty almost marries Piotr came THIS close to making it canon.

Certainly in terms of relationships, Magik has never been seriously ilnked with anyone else, outside of a one shot panel from a Marvel 75 anniversary special which has her and Doug kissing, which is rather random by this point. and I think, an alternate universe version where she and Leah were a romantic couple.

So I'd say she's probably gay for Kitty, but otherwise fairly uninterested.

I wish they didn't make Nightcrawler look like a goat. It kind of takes away from how attractive he really is.
God knows what the obsession is with artists who take the few men in comics I like and slap a beard on them, because they can't apparently grasp the concept of prettier looking guys.

Well. Kurt IS furry all over. and as an on again/off again beard wearer myself, I don't feel there's anything intrinsically wrong with that. It's not like you can't have a beard and still be pretty.

Plus Kurt leaning into his piratical fantasies with a rougish goatee.... I can totally see that! :)

I love the super-fuzzy Kurt. Usually I see him drawn so sleek he doesn't look furry at all.

I love Kurt with a beard. It does things for me.

... Unspeakable, horrific, wonderful things.
