Had to take a break from the heroes in my "X-Men Spiders" fan fiction to spotlight a worthy problem. Namely, the combining of Venom and the Juggernaut. This terrible duo joining forces actually needs no introduction as to the why they're terrible, but they are causing mayhem across dimensions and need to be stopped. More to come, peace ya'll. #marcusthevisual #xmenspiders https://www.instagram.com/p/CJL_H5DlZ2E/?igshid=1c49xlwr3byb8
Taking a moment to reflect on my subconscious Star Wars foresight over the years... I wouldn't mind a full on fixer upper retcon of Fin and Mace for Disney+. Also, while I thought I was just spit ballin' for a Young Yoda series, it turns out I was channeling a Grogu series the entire time! Cheers to yhe possibilities! #Marcusthevisual #DisneyPlus #StarWars https://www.instagram.com/p/CJHEF-6Fq8u/?igshid=rqwlqawyv7q0
I had this on the ipad just waiting for me to finish ever since I watched the wonderful Rosario Dawson (@rosariodawson) grace the screen as Ahsoka on The Mandalorian. Yes, my body is ready for the upcoming Ahsoka series. Yes, I'm excited to see Dawson do more amazing stuffs. Yes, she simply has to look at the screen and I'll be happy as a fan. All that. After watching some youtube videos about the history of her species, I'm really hoping they pull in lots more cultural elements to the character as it relates to Ahsoka's journey to becoming a Jedi. Here's to hoping. Peace ya'll. #marcusthevisual #StarWars #themandolorian #AhsokaTano #RosarioDawson #DisneyPlus https://www.instagram.com/p/CI6P2wSFjTW/?igshid=cxa2bdahvt8z
Cause the cosplayers were asking for it. Here's my design for Jubilee from my X-Men Spiders series. #Marcusthevisual #XMenSpiders https://www.instagram.com/p/CIrRbfslBMx/?igshid=1hkh2aa04m5w
In part 6 of my fan fiction "X-Men Spiders", Jubilee and Miles arrive to their destination in an open grassy area within Central Park. Upon landing, Miles looks around in confusion as he sees nothing but grass and trees surrounding them. Jubilee winks at him before outstretching her hands and unleashing explosive burst of light, exposing the cloaked exterior of a massive aircraft parked right in front of them. Miles marvels wide-eyed and open jawed as the lightshow comes to an end revealing the sheer scale of the massive ship. Jubilee tugs on his wrist as she directs them around the base of the ship to a large door-like opening on the craft. Just as they step foot in front of the door, it swiftly slides open to reveal a chiseled figure standing stoically from behind it, sporting multiple glowing red eyes. Miles glances over to Jubilee for confirmation, and she smirks back giving a subtle nod while walking toward the hulking silhouette. She playfully affirms that this is in fact the Miles they've been looking all over New York for. She stands besides the large man and looks confidently towards Miles, just as the man introduces himself as Cyclops, the team leader of the X-Men. He presents his hand and invites Miles to join them inside so they could start to explain why they're here in this dimension. More to come, peace ya'll. #MarcusTheVisual #XMenSpiders https://www.instagram.com/p/CIpuzhgF7Qq/?igshid=1n15fo6n6zw9y
For the 5th entry in my fan fiction "X-Men Spiders", a colorful spider is on the prowl in Brooklyn. This time it's Miles who is being tracked down by one of these new spider persona from another dimension. Startled by brilliant plumes of vibrant lights and colors, Miles was surprisingly caught off guard while making his way home from a local bodega. Using the element of distraction to her advantage, webs quickly roped around Miles snatching him upward towards the rooftops. She introduced herself confidently as Jubilation Lee of the X-Men, and she had been looking all over town him. She assured that she and her teammates meant no harm to this dimension, and that in fact needed help against a common enemy. Miles was now completely unwrapped from her webs so he could finally introduce himself appropriately. Jubilee extended her hand in friendship, and the two were off, swinging towards her current base of operations. More to come. Peace ya'll. #MarcusTheVisual #xmenspiders https://www.instagram.com/p/CIn6hB8lu5y/?igshid=skqdkbqljaok
In part 4 of my fan fiction "X-Men Spiders", Miles Morales can't seem to align his luck with randomly crossing paths with these strange new spider people that have been spotted around New York lately. Between his own near encounter a week ago and local hearsay from other eyewitnesses, he's hit a bit of a wall for how to acquire more information about these visitors. Fate is not without a sense of humor of course, as Miles stumbles across a random amateur YouTube video featuring a brief interview with one of the spider folks. Upon clicking the video, an attractive woman can be seen vlogging in Times Square before being interrupted by a man offscreen with a Creole accent. The woman is startled at first, but the man quickly reassures her that she has nothing to fear, politely introducing himself as Remy LeBeau. With the camera now focused on the man, Miles gets he first look at one of these interdimensional spider-men. While the man's look and feel seem familiar, Morales notices an "X-Men" insignia imprinted on his gear. Miles begins to postulate the possibility that each of these new visitors not only possess spider powers, but could be alternate reality versions of the legendary mutant hero team, The X-Men. Miles manages to catch the end of the video just as the man bids the woman farewell, and swings away with neon webbing. Miles needed answers, and he had an idea of where to start. More to come. Peace ya'll. #marcusthevisual #xmenspiders https://www.instagram.com/p/CIfV8HfFckk/?igshid=1ssp9tc05x5sr
For part 3 of my "X-Men Spiders" fan fiction, it's becoming painfully obvious that Miles' dimension is indeed being populated by a variety of new spider people. For what reason however, is unclear. While taking the subway home one night, Miles overhears a woman's eyewitness account of new spider persona he hasn't come across yet. She mentioned seeing a sleek and beautiful woman dressed in black, adorned with yellow spider trimmings on her suit. How she swung down from the sky with bolts of electric webbing to prevent a fatal car accident. She went on to say that her feet never touched the ground since she "walked" using her thickly braided 'hair-thingys.' "Hair-thingys"? Miles blurted out in confusion, now directly inserting himself to the conversation. The woman confirmed, that in fact her hair had some kind of life of their own, and behaved like large spider legs keeping her suspended above the sidewalk. Said that before she knew it, the spider lady shot her lightning strings upward towards the nearby buildings and was swinging out of sight in seconds. Miles begins to wonder if this new collection of spider folk have some sort of correlation to one another. More to come. Peace ya'll. #MarcusTheVisual #xmenspiders https://www.instagram.com/p/CIaUX6PltUE/?igshid=p98pnvjv89qt
I need some suggestions on where to run away to and draw beautiful landscapes, people and other things I've never seen. And not necessarily as a traditional "tourist", but also not sleeping with strangers (no offense against strangers). Let me know in the comments. #Marcusthevisual #TravelingArtist https://www.instagram.com/p/CIL1rKNFJZK/?igshid=4zxn5dwvvt5x

Part 3 of my Fanfiction "Storm: Wanderer". Ainet motions her index finger up to Ororo's lips as if to shush away her next list of questions from spilling forth. She promised to provide answers, so she would surely deliver as many as she could before blessing Storm on her journey. Ainet's gaze begins to slowly retreat from Ororo's as she looks off to the magnificent horizon surrounding them atop Mount Kenya. With her back now facing Ororo, she exhales a deep sigh before gently lowering her eyes to survey the rocks at the base of the mountain. "I'm confident that you were aware of my absence from this plane over the last few decades. My own quest for knowledge and answers lead me to new realms far reaching beyond what's known." Ainet turns slowly to meet Ororo's confused eyes. "I was failing you young one. It was my task to unlock your family's mysteries, and at that time, I had come to a dead end with my magical knowledge. So I needed to become more than I was, and push past my Voudon to deeper understandings." Ainet declared while smiling. "I told you there were at least four defined forms of magic, but there are subsets of these four categories. One such subset of Eco-Centric magic was particularly helpful in my quest to piece together the many fragments of your families lineage. This form is called Weaver magic. It's practitioners, called Wyrdlings or Dream Catchers, are capable of mystically seeing the threads of destiny surrounding all living things." Ainet described while rubbing her hands together. "You see, a Weaver Mage can instantly see the entire history of anyone or anything just by touching one of these threads. Similar to the base form of Eco-Centric magic, which tap into the ambient energies of the world around them, Weaver mages tap into the energies of other individuals to read and possibly manipulate energy lines within their auras to create favorable results." Ainet explained, pulling her hands apart exposing brilliant threads of light in between her palms. "I had finally found the perfect magic to scrub through your history and find the answers that had eluded me for so long.

Part 2 of my Fanfiction "Storm: Wanderer". Ororo's hand begins to reach outward for the small figurine of the unknown girl, but Ainet suddenly pulls it back. She pauses before gently placing her delicate hand inside her adopted daughters'. She starts by explaining that in order to understand the present, one must first understand where they come from. Ainet continues by stating that this world defines Ororo simply as a "mutant", and that this classification along with her genetic orientation explains her abilities to control aspects of the weather. Ainet scoffs to herself before proclaiming that defining her abilities so generically is like saying electricity powers a light bulb. While the simplified explanation is technically true, it falls hopelessly short of determining the reasons of how and why it is true. Ainet squeezes Storm's hand and pulls her close while looking her squarely in her eyes before stating that Ororo is a unique and powerful magician, and has been using magic all along. Storm's face is riddled with confusion as she starts her protest by explaining to Ainet that she has fought many battles alongside powerful magicians. How their powers are uniquely different from hers, mystical and mysterious even in comparison. How she has never uttered a spell before using her powers. Ainet smiles joyfully before interrupting Ororo to mention that these facts are only observations of her uniqueness as a magic wielder. She pulls Ororo to the edge of the mountain peak and slowly sweeps her hand across the sky. Four beautiful orbs of light varied in color, begin to spin in front of them as Ainet begins her explanation: Listen carefully my dear Ororo, there are at least four defined forms of Magic. The first is "Ego-Centric" magic. This form draws its power from tapping into one's own spiritual energies. At first glance, this type of magic appears like psychic or cerebral in nature, but it is indeed spiritual. Practitioners of this magic command astral projections, hypnosis, dominion of one's mind, telepathy and unspoken communication. The second is "Eco-Centric" magic.

This journey begins with a calling. During a peaceful night of rest, Ororo Munroe suddenly receives a deep spiritual calling the likes of which she hasn’t heard for many many years. A familiar summoning, Ororo sits up in her bed and looks out beyond the curtains dancing with the midnight breeze at her window. In an air of disbelief, she smiles to herself with a light chuckle at the possibility of once again reuniting with this beloved person. After packing a small duffel bag, Ororo steps out into the cool night and is quickly lifted upward by obedient gusts of air swirling around her. With such a long journey ahead, the Wind Rider creates a bullet funnel of pressurized air that rockets her across the night sky at blazing speeds. The source of the call is coming from Mount Kenya, and should only take a couple of hours to reach at her current velocity. The sky begins to slowly wake and transition to warm colors as Ororo nears her destination. Another smile erupts across her face as her gaze centers on the elderly woman sitting atop the peak of the mountain. Ororo gently controls the winds around her to set foot next to the woman who has now stood to greet her. The elder is Ainet Mwanga, a powerful magic wielding priestess and motherly figure to Ororo. In Ainet’s hands glows a small statue figurine that resembles Ororo. The two greet one another warmly with tear-filled eyes and unbounded smiles. Storm confirms to her adopted mother that she knew instantly who was reaching out to her from around the world. Ainet acknowledges that her magical accuracy is no accident as this is the very purpose of summoning her to the great Mt. Kirinyaga’s peaks. She continues to explain that she has recently discovered new information regarding Ororo’s ancestral magic connections. The importance of these revelations could not wait, and have the potential to alter the life course of Ororo. Storm stands upright in surprise with dozens of questions, but doesn’t know where to begin. Ainet laughs and hands the statue to her daughter and it begins to glow once more. Images of powerful ancient Kenyan Maasai Laibon (priestesses) flood into Ororo’s mind in an instant. Read more ->FB https://www.instagram.com/p/CHibEj_Fr4Q/?igshid=1cyqjtsmmv8by

It was only a matter of time before I started playing with the camera controls on Ghost of Tsushima. But the real reason I'm posting these shots is to remind fans of the wonderful small things baked into the awesome game. Like for instance when Jin is walking through tall grass, he opens his hand to brush through as he walks amongst it. This is something you might miss if you never really slowed down to take in the game for the Marvel that it is. He also does this on horseback which I did notice initially, but I was taken back while walking through the grass and noticed he did the same thing. I love the development team on this game. Bravo, and can't wait to get on the Legends expansion. #ghostoftsushima #ps4 #gamedevelopment https://www.instagram.com/p/CHWucj8FL3G/?igshid=49kbvndxndv0
