• Xanga Legion: They’re Back!

  After what seems like forever I’ve finally gotten round to drawing another couple heroes!

  Truth is i’ve got loads of extra none Xangan characters to colour too, but they are also in waiting, perhaps in the next few days ya never know

  Anyway today it’s time for the long awaited and often promised GrammarBoy!!! a terrible delay but I hope worth the wait.

  Also up today is my second part to the great big ThankYou to Restless Butterfly for her kindness and general lovelyness, with her addition to the Legion.

  And though I may say it myself her drawing is one of my better attempts, though her face could be more like reality the rest of it i’m really quite proud of.

  Grammar Boy

  A studious librarian who spent his days looking through the vast collections of old books hidden in the vaults of a large city library.
  One day he found a strange book that though slim contained The Method, this ‘method’ once mastered allowed the librarian to learn anything he put his mind to almost instantly and with complete ability.

  As he explored his new ability he began to gather a vast knowledge of skills and techniques, wisdom and prose. Eventually he decided to use his skills for good and having read and learnt from many comic books and having dealt with many examples of poor grammar he decided to become Grammar Boy.

  Now with knowledge of almost all martial forms and many other seemingly incredible skills he fights crime with his deadly combo of his ‘FullStop’ Right hand and ‘Exclamation’ Left.

  Restless Butterfly

  A lab assistant at the wrong place at the wrong time when something from a hidden lower level lab escaped, the creature rampaged upwards eventually reaching where she worked. Trapped and in its path the assistant faced her fear and attacked to protect the rest of the staff.

  She rushed the half insect, snake like man and struck it in the skull with a letter opener, incredibly its weak skull gave in and the beast slumped to the ground, in shock she didn’t move away quickly enough and as the creature hit the ground a final impulse sent its bladed tail deep into her chest.

  She and the other victims were quietly buried in unmarked graves as a cover up fell into place.

  But 6 months later something stirred. Within the shallow grave a cocoon had formed around the woman and within she was resurrected.
  The Restless Butterfly returned to life now transformed by the creatures’ venom. Entirely immortal she has no fear, if any harm comes to her within a day she will re-grow back to perfect health. Her fearlessness and immortality have allowed her to fight with abandon and skill making her a deadly warrior and swordswoman.

  In moments of great need she can also transform herself into a cloud of shimmering butterfly like creatures that can flow past obstacles and reform on the otherside. 

  She is a wise and kind defender she is The Restless Butterfly.
