Some sketches done for friends/to practice posing and designs. 22nd September, 2022

Revamped my X-Men OC Fire Starter and retouched her powers. It would probably help if I was good at anatomy, but I’m proud of how this turned out.

Now instead of just being Pyrokenitec, it’s a bit more in-depth: she can either breath normal oxygen or switch to intake carbon dyoxide, the carbon from the CO2 is stored inside her body and compounds into a flammable form of the element (like charcoal). While like this she gets enough oxygen to live and actually puts out some unneeded and excessive oxygen. When she does this too often she can get too much carbon build up and will have to burn it off even if not in a fight. She does keep enough stored carbon in her system to always be ready to either fight or start a camp fire. (I’m not 100% on the science here but I thought it would be a cool idea either way)

Plus her powers show up a bit more physically the parts with the visible skeleton are tinged orange or red, with her bones being stained with stored carbon being a dark grey. Her eyes were just something I felt looked cool and the irises are a dull orange color. Sadly her teeth are stained as part of this so she tends not to smile with her teeth. The only major parts that are seethrough are her hands and lower face, because that is where she most often uses her powers, hands are obvious but... come on who doesn’t want to breathe fire like a dragon

An Ode To My Womb

I could never love you like a mother should

I can’t pour out all the love I can into you

You scream and kick and twist me into knots

I can’t love like that, so devoted and unyielding

I am selfish and distant, I need time for myself

Not the constant love a child needs, unabashed and overflowing

I know I want to love others the way I was never loved

I don’t shudder at the name of “mother” like I claim to

I want to be split upon an altar, to sacrifice my soul

But I know I’d tremble as the blade rises

That it’d cleave the edges of a hole

A hole so deep, a hole so wide, that filling it is impossible

An abyss cannot love a child

A hole cannot fill a hole

And so I cleave you from me

So some other bitch can love the terrible burden you contain

And I’ll stick to loving grown up things

Who become children with my claim
