Artist's Comments

Rogue and Gambit are my all time favorite characters from the X-Men comics. I looked off of a perfume add for the faces but I had to alter Gambit's face alot because the guy in the picture looked WAY to fem to be him. Her arm looks dark because she is wearing her gloves (confused some people with that one). The whole point of the picture for me is that they still are not touching. Gambit looks kind of lost in the moment completely trusting Rogue with is eyes closed. Rogue, on the otherhand, seems very aware of were she is. Her eyes are open and she seems fairly hesitant to be even this close to him, though she wants to be.

I was going to click on a new page, but then looked at "Newest Deviation" and said "Is that R&G? I'm so there!" Very nice shading, maybe you could bump up the contrast, make the blacks blacker. It still makes me sad there's not Gambit in the movies :(

Cool beans :)

Critique wise...

Great proportions!!! Your markmaking is excellent and makes me feel like this is real :)

Check out the shading on Rogue on her neck and jawline. There's a ton of contrast... is she wearing an outfit that goes that high? If not, I'd lighten the top part up... or make it look like there's something there besides a single value. If it's part of her outfit, make the outline more defined like you did on Gambit's (great work on that, by the way).

You did a mighty fine job on this. I checked out your gallery and it's just wonderful. What did you use to draw for this piece? I don't know if you lost values/details when the drawing got loaded on the computer, but I suggest getting some 6b's and making the darks real dark. It will help bring depth to your drawings.

I have never been a huge X-Men fan but I watched it with my brother when I was little... and I went to the midnight showing of the last movie :) Gambit has to be my all time favorite character though. He's a hunk.

I'm sad he wasn't in the movies too but I wasn't too happy with what they did with Rogue so I think it was a good decision to keep him out.

oooh that makes sense its just a really detaild glove lol
:iconmormongirlbyu:
Hm...To make it clearer that she's wearing gloves, I'd suggest taking the detail of her fingernails and veins away. At least the top where it seems like the glove has been vacume-sealed to her hand. Also, creases at the wrist, even though it's not bent, would show the presence of fabric. Even when a limb has been straightened out, the fabric around it still keeps its creases. Just look at the knees of your pant legs or the elbows of long sleeves to see what I mean. The seams on the fingers are pretty telling though.

And the white streak in her hair should be lighter than the rest, even when it goes into shadow. Either lighten up the streak as it moves further down her hair, or darken the rest of her hair comparitively. We don't want her signature look fading away, now do we?

Please don't take these too personally. I'm just trying to help you out. I don't mean to be harsh.
