The Ace of the X-Men!


Hey guys, I've got another X-Man for you! I now give you...Remy Lebeau! The mutant Cajun known as Gambit!

First of all, let me just say, this is now my new favourite pic I have done so far out of the Marvel character drawings I've done! I love how this has turned out more than Carnage and Mister Sinister did! Wasn't easy though as this was my third attempt at him! The first time I didn't like the way his coat looked and the second I had a problem with the way he threw his cards.

I wanted to give Remy a decent card throwing pose whilst displaying his technique at the same time. So I looked through my comics for ideas on how to get it right and finally, here is the result. Quite possibly my finest piece yet!

Gambit's inclusion now brings the X-Men pics up for 4 I believe. I think I'll do one more before moving onto a different type of Marvel character.

And here's X-Man number two of the day!


The second X-Man I have for you today is none other than Peter Rasputin, the mutant known as Colossus!

I wasn't planning to draw him for a while but one of my mates loves Colossus and has been waiting to see him for a while now so I decided to give him what he wanted to see. This time my goal was to give Colossus a shining effect on his metallic body. I did so by leaving streaks of white on the metal and gave his head that little bit of sparkle shall we say.

He's turned out pretty well but I'm considering adding a light shade of blue to some parts of the body to possibly make him look better. Not decided yet for sure but if I do, I'll post an updated pic.

Might do a couple more X-Men before I move onto the next lot of characters.

BAMF! Nightcrawler appears!


BAMF!

I present to you all Kurt Wagner: The X-Man known as Nightcrawler!

I first drew the character in an acrobatic pose from his circus days. But as I drew it, I realized he'd look better as if he jumped out of smoke from teleporting in! So I added in that effect and to begin with, I was unsure. But after applying some colour to it, I think it turned out really well! I did put in some purple on Kurt's body too but isn't quite as noticeable from these pics.

This is just one of two X-Men I have for you today! The second shall follow shortly...
