Ever wonder what the X-Men look like in their off-time when they're not battling Sentinels or trying to stop Apocalypse's latest plan? Well artist Chad Sell has given us a glimpse at just that.

After seeing the images getting shared around Twitter -- and laughing quite a bit -- we conducted an email interview with Sell to learn where the idea for Everyday X-Men came from, what superheroes he's interested in tackling next, and the other projects he's currently working on.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been obsessed with comics -- reading them, writing them, drawing them. The X-Men have always been some of my favorites, especially the 90's Jim Lee era that I was first introduced to. So I wanted to try and draw some of those iconic and nostalgic characters, but without relying on just hyper-sexualizing the characters or putting them in exaggerated, contorted action poses.I was sketching out some ideas, and I thought, "Well, what if Psylocke is just on the phone? What if Jean is floating there eating popcorn?" I liked the idea of depicting the characters in their beloved (and also kind of ridiculous) superhero outfits, but placing them in a mundane or silly context.I definitely depicted the X-Guys shirtless or showing more skin than usual, absolutely! But I didn’t just want to make erotic gay superhero pin-ups -- Nightcrawler’s skimpy outfit is more for a gag than it is to be titillating.Well, the simple answer is that I'm gay. But even though I placed some of the X-Guys into suggestive situations, they're all intended to be very silly and light-hearted. As a lifelong comics nerd, I love the ridiculous proportions and skintight costumes of both male and female superheroes, but I also recognize that superhero comics depict a highly stylized and exaggerated view of the world.Among the X-Ladies, my favorites are Mystique and Jean Grey. For the X-Guys, I'd say Nightcrawler and Colossus. I just think they're simple, fun, and goofy.Absolutely! The artist I kept thinking about while doing these pin-ups was Bruce Timm, so I've already been thinking about a series based on Batman: The Animated Series or the Justice League cartoon!I've been working on an autobio comic called VREELAND, which you can read here: https://www.vreelandcomics.com/ It's about four crazy years I spent after college when I moved to Michigan to take care of my grandparents.I also draw a lot of drag queens from RuPaul's Drag Race -- they're really not so different from most superheroes. So I'm gearing up for Season 7 of the show!And in general, my tumblr ( https://chadsell.tumblr.com/ ) and website ( https://www.chadsellcomics.com/ ) feature all my latest work.
