Description I'm going a little bit out of order here, but this was one of those drawings that fell out of my hand onto the paper and I fell so in love with i just couldn't stop working on it.

My favorite Saturday morning cartoon growing up was the 90's X-Men animated series. And like many other little boys, i idolized Gambit. And even though my tastes have changed and my favorite characters have changed, I will always have a particular fondness to Gambit. So when the picture on the calendar was of this girl playing with a playing card, i knew i had to draw a female Gambit.

A first for my DaDs, I attempted to use some of the techniques I picked up in my life drawing class for shading, using a tiny little blending tool that Jeff gave me to smooth out the shades. It had a tremendous effect, and you bet your ass I colored it.

Thank you for pointing this out! But, I do not believe in this case that artist is stealing. A lot of artists use other art as reference/inspiration or even subject matter for something to use while they practice drawing.  The only issue would be if they were to try to sell the art as their own.

I really enjoy the communal aspect of what this piece has become. Lol. I'll post a link to them, are your flats layered between background and subject?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

knytcrawlr In reply to steevinlove [2014-04-07 18:51:24 +0000 UTC]

yes - the background is a solid colour, separate from the flats (rogue is done on 1 layer) and the lines are a 3rd layer - RGB, all not anti-aliased, as they should be

so, between you, me and the lamp-post, here's the one version I made up - sta.sh/01k8zxkggqi2

Let me know what you think

I looked at a picture on a calendar for this as reference, I don't remember if she was biting anything in the picture though.

LOL!! i was soo confused when i saw this on another page. [link] I saw it and was thinking "Wow Rouge looks great!" But then i was like wait "Ehh..Gambit?" I wasn't sure if she took over her powers or it was a female Gambit.
Gambit has always been my fav along with Rouge.

Marvel should have an alternate universe based on the chracters being the opposite sex. I see alot of it on DA and most of them are good

steevinlove In reply to mzclark [2011-05-27 14:48:02 +0000 UTC]

ACTUALLY, Marvel has a TON of alternate universes, and one of them features a gender swap in the way you are speaking of. There is a series called "Exiles" that had a really good run that visited tons of alternate realities. Really good series and show cased a lot of interesting concepts.

mzclark In reply to steevinlove [2011-05-27 18:48:28 +0000 UTC]

yeah i know about a few alternate universes(like with bishop) but it's been soolong since i read/watched X-men to remember them in detail. didn't know they had a gender swap. i'll have to look for it. thanks

No she doesn't. The 5th finger is a little hard to see, but look, behind the middle finger.
