Gambit as Horseman of Death! I'm so excited for him in season 2

Based off that S2E6 sneak peek, it looks like they just did a basic recolor, which just feels lazy to me. 🤷‍♀️

i know they all high fived when they thought of, storyboarded and animated this.

Death, ending and transformation as we see that the cards have changed from his playing cards to tarot. Death also HOLDING Gambit’s card and also his literal new moniker for this period.

The Tower, upheaval and chaos. The height of the xmen’s problems

The Lovers, love, harmony and alignment. It literally being Gambit and Rogue. But also resembling Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden with the Snake coiling them….choices and temptation. The skeleton they’re standing on? Remy now being touched by death, Genosha, their pasts and their issues beneath them.

I've been wanting to branch out and draw more of Rogue and Gambit's outfits.

Kind of obsessed with Gambit's profile here (Rogue's too tbh). Also really love the sketch/lineart (I cleaned it up some but wanted to retain the character of the sketch) so I included that below the cut.

Been experimenting with more lines/angles in my sketches instead of curves and I'm really loving it.

So I started this sketch absolute ages ago (last November or so) but only got around to finishing it this past month. I was going through old sketches and this one drew me back in. I had a lot of fun last time I did a drawing based off an old painting (Fallen Angel for anyone curious), and this one was equally fun.

The original painting (posted below the cut), entitled "The Meeting on the Turret Stairs" was done in gouache by Frederic William Burton. Reading up on the history behind the image reminded me of my old art classes. I honestly kind of miss it and probably will do more of these down the line (open to ideas/suggestions!).

I'm not sure how popular Rogue and Gambit's Excalibur looks are. But I personally love them! The layers and overall style is super fun (and honestly looks pretty comfy). I also LOVED that Rogue's cape has a somewhat similar feel to the dress from the original.

So excited to share this commission (that I did back in January 😅) for an adorable Christmas story called "closer through the seasons" (on ao3 under Julia456). This particular scene takes place near the end. I had the best time working on this drawing and highly recommend checking out Julia's story if you like cute Evo Romy. 😍

Lineart below the cut.

Angst is back! Been wanting to draw Rogue in her sleeveless outfit and deathbit was too good of a combo. If I had more time/brain power I would have loved to do a little snippet of a story but maybe another time.

Who thinks we will get a Gambit as Death in season 2? Or do you think he will be a season 3 plot point?

I've really been wanting to figure out how flashy boy's flashy powers would look in the stained glass style. It took some experimenting to get here but I LOVE it! Gambit is so effortlessly cool I need to draw him fighting/using his powers more (plus the dramatic lighting opportunities it gives??!!).

I'm so glad we've gotten to see more of Nightcrawler in X-Men 97! I always enjoyed Kurt's episodes in the 90s animated show (and Evolutions) and I'll never complain about getting more Nightcrawler! 💙 (I don't see people mention Wolverine and the X-Men but I also really like Kurt in that one too!)

Wanting to eventually come back and draw Kurt with some of the other X-Men. (Rogue for sure! Maybe Jubilee or Logan eventually?? Open to ideas!)
