80's Rachel Summers (Patreon)

Here's we go! Daily X-Girl posts start today. Hopefully it doesn't overwhelm your inboxes.

I know I said I was going to begin the week with some x-villains but I thought since I posted Scott and Jean on Friday, it'd be fun to post their future daughter today instead.

This is also where these x-girls officially stopped being straight fanart of classic costumes and more a medley of various 80's fashion choices. It was a lot of fun and likely what lead to me wanting to draw more everyday style clothing on superheroes in the years since.

A lot of the clothing choices--as well as hairstyles--were suggested by the patron who commissioned all of these with the freedom for me to kind of mix-and match and change stuff as needed. Before drawing, I made "fashion maps" for all of these pinups which I thought I saved but can't for the life of me find anymore. Either I threw them out because I decided I was done with them (which is unfortunately pretty likely) or they're just buried in some random folder somewhere. I'll keep looking and will be sure to share any that I find.

I should, however, be able to share the rough sketches or pencils for most of these so those will be included above.
