Whassssup!?,

I thought some of you might like to check out a bit of the background work that went into creating the Gambit and Rogue drawing I posted recently. You can see the coloured version here: [link]

fig A: This was my initial thumbnail. I did a bunch of sketches in my sketchbook to get an idea of Gambits poses. This was the one I was happiest with, so I went for it.

figB: This was my full size blue pencil rough version of the thumbnail, which i liked....but there was something missing here. Not dynamic enough perhaps? I dunno...Looking back, its still kinda cool, but i wanted to draw Gambit BIGGER! I have a bad habit of trying to fill the page too much.

fig C: All of a sudden, I decided to flip the page and draw what became the final piece on the back of the board! This is why the whol drawing is completely different to the thumbnail. I added Rogue in there. My plan was for her to accent the visual flow of the page. I'll admit that it was an after-thought though.

So there ya go...thats pretty much how I do my work. I'm working on another pin-up for an Aussie comic at the moment, and I'll probably post some more process stuff on that one so you guys can watch the piece develop before your eyes!

Thanks for lookin!

Stolen from the natives, built on the backs of slaves and underpaid minority workers that reap none of its benifits stands the United States of America "land of the fee home of the slaves".....:paranoid:

No offense, because I do like the finished pic, but it seems like the action was more dynamic in the original thumbnail and progressively got less so as you moved on. The final looks more like Gambit and Rogue are posing for a pic, compared to the original concept.
