why are xmen the only mutants which get special powers?

quick selection of sketches. We're expected to hand in our sketchbooks this year so im having to scan everything i think interesting. Wether they will appreciate naked harlequin ladies with burny arms and teeny pants is another matter. Its being uploaded here because..gah, might as well. probably be moved to scraps later, but hey.

the standing child freaks me tbh, it wouldnt be able to stand like that if it was real, i sure as heck wouldnt want to open my door and find something like that standing there D:.

ohh..and if you havent heard of heard of harlequin type ichthyosis, which this is based on ( MY GOD IM BECOMING MORBID..ER) i'd uhm...not really reccomend you go looking for pictures of sufferers if you've got a weak stomach. Its basically an extreme skin disease,the skin is hard scaly plates, cracks appear all over the body where movement occurs,its freaky as hell but despite the grossness i think theres some obscure beauty to it,at least in some of the cases, a lot are..yeah,not pretty.

People with it dont really live that long, and when they do they dont look like this- i merely expanded on the appearance of a couple of pics of dead specemines i've seen online

yeah

grown up dead babies. I didnt use any reference for the distribution of the body cracks because i wanted to see where my mind would take the concept- which is probably why there are far too many of them, less is more, i know this now for next time.
