Dirty Mind
This one is pretty self explanatory but I felt as though I hadn’t drawn Del in a while. And I made this just incase anyone needed a reminder of just how friggin hot the Boss Lady can be. I made her modest in the comics but when she gets in the mood Del can really cook can’t she? This for those that don’t know is referenced from the actual cover of Prince’s Dirty Mind album cover. Only it’s not in black and white. Her outfit is a mix between his Dirty Mind and Controversy outfits – with just a tiny bit of Sheila E thrown in here and there. If she was a mainstream superhero this would probably be her mission clothes LOL
I was going to give her a cross (as was the trend back then) but then I remembered she isn’t a Christian. Yup, a lot of people forget Del is actually of middle-eastern Hebrew decent. Might draw her hot, black girlfriend next
Pheromone
“Wash over me like an ocean… controlling my every motion”
Yeah this is what happens when you listen to Prince for nearly five months. Your characters start to act out his music and there’s no avoiding it. The song Pheromone just screamed “Lily and Emil doing semi-kinky shit”. Given Emil’s powers – he can literally concentrate his senses to a near molecular level. Lily’s scent is rather distinctive to him. Take away his sight and he’d still be able to find her in the dark. Or… across a tri-state area.
Why the handcuffs? They match her bra, duh! These two don’t get together for a while yet in the comic but when they do I imagine they feel comfortable enough to experiment. His blindfold was going to be lace at first but it refused to look right. I wanted her to be smiling more but she just looks so cool like this.
Issue 3 page 5 preview
Surprise Preview of Issue #3 remaster! Yes, I decided to post the whole page instead of just a segment because this WHOLE PAGE had to be done over and it came out fantastic. The wip of this got so many faves that I wanted to show everyone how it turned out. Le sigh – it’s never going to be that easy for these two. But they’ll get there… eventually 🙂
Illegal Trivia
Thought I’d start a thing since Twin Tuesday had it’s limits. Just little know things about The Crew
Twin Tuesday
It’s been a while since I’ve done one and I missed it by a couple hours but it’s still Tuesday on the west coast so yeah! It was mentioned that it’s been a while since I’ve drawn the boys but I don’t think this is the picture they had in mind for Hunter and Erol Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Especially when I have twin nephews who are perfect references for little ‘Huney’ and ‘Rolly’. I’d say they’re nearly a year in this – sitting up on their own, just a few teeth, aware of each other. Babies are hard to draw mainly because their proportions aren’t proportionate. Main thing that threw me off was arm length – babies are stubby and their heads are so big compared to the rest of their body. But oh God they’re so freakin CUTE!!
My nephew Maddox is so adorably bashful that all I have to do is look at him and he giggles. And Mason thinks ‘this little piggy’ is the best interactive literature EVER!
Can anyone guess which one is which?
Buy Illegal Tender isssues 1 and 2 on Gumroad!!
Sunday Funnies
Was going back through to see if how far I got on the Issue #2 remaster and found this quite funny. Hunter is super serious about his bagels. Illegal Tender Issue #2 will be available summer 2016
Houdini
Looking up a bunch of stuff about Dr. Strange I somehow made the connection Sonya. She’s actually not a magician or some other worldly guru – she’s a super powered seamstress! But she’s the only person with 2 different powers in the I.T. verse. 3 if you count her mad fashion skills 🙂
Been looking for a new way to illustrate her telekinesis that doesn’t look too close to Kiddo’s energy manips. I feel like I haven’t drawn anything in forever – I’ve been getting ready for Momocon which is nearly a month away and it doesn’t involve as much drawing as it does with ordering stuff and making stuff so… I decided to make this today and get a breather from other crafts.
You’re Willing and Happy to See
Just the crew hanging out on the roof of the bar until it’s time to open for the night. This negates everything I’ve said about Emil being afraid of heights but I imagine their not up that high so he’s okay with his legs being over the edge like that. Plus if he slips, Kiddo will catch him 
This took like five days to complete. I wanted something new of the crew that didn’t have the I.T. logo all over it to sell at Momocon (just in case someone likes the style but doesn’t want to represent the comic like that). Not sure what my table number is yet but I’ll keep posting
kueen_nyguyen & huntbhot
Something cute I thought of when trying to decide who to draw. I realized I’ve never drawn Katherine and Hunter together. It’s even cuter because they are both half black. Hunter is black and white – Katherine is black and asian. Team mixed kids for real! I love it when I get to show black people come in way more colors than how they are represented in mainstream comics. These two started out very rocky but just like Emil and Kiddo they’ll eventually end up together – until Kathy goes off to college 
But that’s not for a while so in the mean time we have cocky selfies on instagram.
Her hair makes her slightly taller than him – 2 freakin cute
Hunter and Katherine are featured in Illegal Tender. But the first issue now!! http://www.illegaltendercomic.com/buy-issue-1
