Description
Edit:With some advice from !Jaala and brilliant insight from `ctJemm , I've fixed some of the things that were bugging me about the original colours.
`ctJemm suggested I up the drama by creating some visual contrast -- engulf his back side in shadow to make the playing card pop! This advice alone improved the image ten-fold, imho. (Thanks again, Lil' Grasshopper!)
Both !Jaala and `ctJemm pointed out that the "Gambit" text from the previous version was drawing waaaay too much attention away from Gambit himself, so I've embossed it and faded it into the bg.

It turned out amazing!
The colors and everything set the whole mood. It's like seeing a critical or climatic moment captured.
Excellent work!

My intention was to bring out the drama with the colours since the lines were very plain and minimal -- so, thanks!
To be honest, a mixture of laziness and fear of mucking it all up got the better of me before I posted this, so there are little things that still bug me out this.

I don't see anything wrong with it myself. It looks perfect!
Of course we are our own worst critics, and I do the same too. Even little things like changing the hue or shade of a shirt or something silly like that, I start contemplating on changing it lol.

That's definitely my curse. I'm all too often the perfectionist and overly critical with myself. I've been trying to overcome that, let go of what's done and move on to the next piece. But as you can see with the update, despite what I said in my previous comment, I couldn't let this one go as it was.

Niiiice 
I think you should've left the lineart black and white.
I dunno why.

really? but the line art is hardly noticeable....hmmmm....I'll take that under advisement and see if it does look better with pure black line-art when I get a chance. Thanks.

OH MAN. He looks amazing Osh. And Gambit is totally my favorite X-men character!
The detail on the leg is superior but for some reason I'm zooming in on his hair. It's got so much movement!

Thanks!! Gambit seems to be a very popular X-men (although he came a little after my peak comic reading days.) I'm glad you like this. Thanks for taking the time to "zoom in"!

Thank you!
I wasn't sure if I had gotten it right...just decided it was time to stopped tweaking it.

I think you stopped at a good point. I'm super afraid of overworking pieces, and a lot of times it's good to stop before you get too far ahead of yourself.

Exactly -- overworking pieces is a serious dread for me too. Thanks a lot for your input!
