moar canon gay? y/y/y?
They have also had a lot of moments in X-Force Vol. 1 and 2 that basically started the talk of whether the two were canon or not behind the scenes. Loeb was planning on having it go that way, but something happened(?!) and they weren't made official until X-Factor.On one hand, I applaud PAD for making them canon. On the other, I'm wary of how he's writing Shatterstar.
Bigger version at Y! where you can see little details like the sweat and body hair:http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/view/703460/It's not porn but hey, implication ftw?
>>50712Ahhhhhh <3
SO WHO READ #207, OUT TODAY?!?! OMGOMFG.I'm giving Peter David my first born, I swear to god.
so uh. no reactions to almost-sex?
>>52073
>>52099 accurate description of my response to 208
>>52073Not to mention kisses.
I've got a few pieces that you guys don't have here. Figured I'd share them ^.^
Just found this today.
Blast from the past, anyone?
Could I put out a general request for more artwork featuring their new looks? There's so little of it, it's really quite sad. How can people resist that which is CANON?
>>54803Because Shatty's long, flowing locks are also canon.
>>54810And I love his long flowing locks, but short hair is also sexy. Not saying this pic is sexy. I just figured I should include a pic along with my reply.
>>54803because people have been shipping Rictor and Shatterstar long before PAD made it canon and therefore there's more art of classic Ricstar.
>>54832Yes, but with new developments, you'd think there would be more art.
Ah, Rahne, the X-Factor's resident Tommy Shepherd. They should form a cockblocker club or something.
>>55343 I'm still laughing.
>>55343And in other news, wow, Shatterstar. You're back to taking clueless up to a whole new level.
>>54803I'm working on a few... See left. (That's a WIP, BTW, the stick-man will be replaced by Rictor eventually).
>>55369 ...Woah. Okay. Super excited about the finished product if that's the WIP. Hot.
>>55343But was anyone else complete pissed by what a bitch she was in this? Also lying to Rictor about the baby? OH I hope someone tells the poor boy the truth pretty quick.
>>55413And quite literally, too.What Rahne did was pretty awful (understatement). She was probably rather messed up emotionally. The real father of her child was presumed dead, and she probably had expected some comfort from Rictor.What irked me was the way she looked at 'Star right before lying to Rictor. It ggave me the impression that she did it at least partially to upset Shatterstar by taking away Rictor from him. /Extremely/ shitty thing to do, but I guess the truth will eventually come out.I must say I'm rather pleased with the direction PAD is taking the story into. As PAD himself mentioned, the relationship between Rictor and Shatterstar is strained by the fact that they are at different points of their emotional development; Rictor is ready to settle down, 'Star is still figuring things out.I've seen folks @LJ mentioning that PAD should make Rictor flirt with somebody to make him jealous - personally, however, I thought it was a bad idea. Shatterstar is too emotionally confident to be threatened by flirting; he would just see it as a confirmation that Rictor willing to experiment.Pregnancy, on the other hand? Shit just got serious. I have a feeling things are gonna get worse before they'll get better... Gif relevant.
I think Layla totally knows the truth, but probably won't be too eager to share it with Rictor. If she was feeling charitable towards him, she wouldn't sent Rahne up to his room at such an inappropriate moment.I have no idea what her motives are, though. Possibly she did it just for lulz.That aside, have some sketchy drawfaggotry.
>>55657I love you. Would you marry me?
>>55657 Oh that is fucking BEAUTIFUL.
>>55418 Agreed, I think Shatterstar said to Ric that him being with other people wouldn't mean anything if he didn't get to share the experience with Rictor. Also in previous comics,when Shatterstar was without Rictor he would always be majorly depressed self-destructive. And here comes Rahne with the baby saying it's Rictor's and you know Rictor will try to do right by Rahne and take care of her and that baby and possibly call it off with Shatterstar for them. And fuck you know Shatterstar dreads this also, I mean he had no problem thinking Rahne's baby was his but just see the face he made when Rahne was all "oh I wasn't with anyone else" and Rictor immediately hugged her. It's going to be interesting
>>55661Only if you are fine with Internet polygamy! ;)I was supposed to do something terribly important, so I doodled instead. Meh. Texture borrowed from resurgere@DA.Might redraw in Illustrator later, sans texture. And maybe with some ruins.
Aaand a B&W version.
>>55870Keep making gorgeous art and I'd be happy with just about anything.
There, I fixed it.
The cover of #211!I want this yesterday, and #209 & #210 are not out yet! Fekt!Hmmm, basing on who was X-Factor's latest client and this cover, I wonder if Rahne's baby's daddy is gonna either show up or be 'accidentaly' revealed..? :oAnd Shatterstar made the cover again! <3
Have some more blast from the past. (What on Earth are you wearing, Julio? I guess it could be worse...)>>55657So Layla's technically the cockblock. I see how it is, Butterfly. Don't even want your new partner in crime to have some fun before all the drama starts again.

WIP, the X-Factor team chibified. Started with Shatterstar, because I sort of love him. The suit design borrowed from the character design sketches, because it was awesome. Re: 208 - Trying to decipher Layla's motives gave me a headache. x_O And I keep thinking about that premonition about mauling Layla and Jamie that Rahne had xx issues ago.
Does anyone know when the next issue is coming out..?
>>56820One more week. Best thing about issues being delayed - it means the wait between the delayed one and the next one is shorter ^.^Also, LOVELY ARTWORK. HOMG. *RIGHT CLICK SAVES LIKE A MOFO*
>>55657I think it's more Layla's style to guilt Rayne until she fesses up herself. Besides, it wouldn't make for good drama if Layla just told Rictor the truth immediately. I don't think Layla hates Rictor or anything- it was probably just a stupid mistake that she made. It didn't seem like she knew that they were about to have sex.
Something about Layla's demeanor in #207 made me think that she was aware that sending Rahne to Rictor & Shatterstar's room might result in Rahne walking on sexytiems. I don't think she did it to upset Rictor; I think she's making sure that the course of history goes unchanged. Perhaps the defenestration and subsequent emotional brouhaha was necessary to start a certain chain of events..?Does Rahne even know that she's pregnant with Hrimhari? I read somebody's post today mentioning that she might not be aware that her gestation is faster than normal - she just knows that Hrimhari sacrificed himself for her. I can't check right now...
Method Acting Pirate!Shatterstar, who's quickly turning into my favourite comic character ever - deadly cute and cutely deadly. XDPic = spoilers for #209.
>>56979It's like he's determined to make himself my favorite character.
Pic = Star's way of dealing with emotional insecurity. X-Factor #209.
