Description
Woo. A pic with an actual background. Its been a while--that's supposed ot be New Orleans, by the by. And,yes, its Gambit again. Supposed to look vaguely like Taylor Kitsch, but I'm not sure I hit the mark (again).I put him in uniform this time, though I'm not sure he'll have an actual uniform in the movie--doesn't look like it in the previews, but who knows? He should, really--he wore his uniform as a thief, after all. Gambit fans probably recognize that I modified the uniform--I based it off his current uniform (no fuschia!), but I went more leather than spanded (because, let's face it, spandex is not practical for anything other than working out), military-style boots as opposed to the metal monstrosities he usually wears for no apparent reason, a black trench (so as not to clash with the rest of the uniform), and no half-mask--didn't want to cover his face.
Better than my last 2 pieces, but may still not look manly enough. However, I am quite proud of the glow around his cards, and spent a lot of time on that bg. What do you think?

I've never been a fan of Gambit's classic costume. This design is a lot less...90s?

It was loosely based on his outfit from X-treme X-men.

Thanks. Kitsch is a damn good-looking man, but damned hard to draw.

I think it looks awesome! I gambit! *-*
The bg is perfect! And it doesn't compit with the character but adds to it. The magenta lighting gives it a very special touch which I think is perfect. And I like the outfit!
Maybe you could add some shadows of beard to his cheeks to make him more manly... But I like it anyway! ^^

I actually did give him some stubble, but you can't really see it this far away. If you look at the pic full-sized and squint.
More manly--yeah, its definately too feminine. I gave him girly legs!

Thanks! I found this neat little pic of New Orleans that I used as a reference, and went with Mardi Gras colors. I based the uniform off of his X-treme X-men uniform and current uni--Better than that fushia thing he sued to wear!

Thanks! I got the shoes all wrong, though, and his legs are too thin. Still, I like the pose and the overall pic.

Thanks! I found this really neat reference pic of New Orleans--very cool looking city. I agree about the mask-I mean, those cheek guards should totally fall. Not to mention, what's the point? It can't be disguise--you see enough of his face to see what he looks like even if they didn't leave his most recognizable features (the eyes) completely uncovered. If he wants a disguise he'll have to get a mask similar to spiderman's.

Thanks--I'm excited about the movie too--although some of the Gambit fanboys are really ruining it. I've stopped reading their comments--too much bitching and moaning. I think Kitsch will do a great job, and I think the friendship between Wolverine and Gambit is really interesting in the comics--hopefully they'll incorporate some of that into the movie.

I can only imagine the fanboys. They seem really hypocritical coz most of them really wanted a gambit in the movies but now they got him, they wanna bitch. I think he is gonna do a great job as well he really fits the looks and that air gambit has.

I agree--they're a bunch of buzzkills. I was reading their comments at first, hoping to hear rumors about the movie, but I've had to stop. So negative. I think Kitsch did a great job in The Covenant and I think he'll do a great job as Gambit. He really does look like Gambit's latest comic incarnation, I agree. Love his hair
