Description
I originally meant to submit this piece on the 8th of Jan since that was my birthday, but it proved to be much more difficult to do and I spent about two months finishing this piece. Gambit is my favourite X-Men character, and because of that, I wanted this one to be really special and lo and behold I actually think this might be my best work so far!This was really painful to do because of all the details in him, and I didn't want to pass on anything because I wanted Gambit to be my crown-jewel of all my works so far. I was able to put some shine on his boots and chest piece, and I'm happy with how the matte look of his upper body armour went. His coat was a real pain to do but I like how it turned out. His face was something I put extra effort in, because Gambit won't be Gambit without his trademark smirk and red eyes, and I'm happy with what I was able to do here, especially with he hair as well since I know I suck at drawing hair!
The kinetic energy and the cards was what took me so long to finish this, and I was literally in artist's block for about a month before I found inspiration to do it. I like how I was able to manifest the pinkish energy in a different yet natural way, and the cards looked better than I hoped too! This is Gambit in his most popular form, and while I was tempted to depict him in his newer Legacy costume, I thought this 90's outfit was way too iconic to pass up. I hope you guys love him as much as I do! I'm really happy with how this came out!

I love the cards effect I'm still pretty new to Gambit's character but I think you captured him perfectly

Amendment to my last comment sometimes you still get the maroon body chest plate on ultimates depends on the artist of course

This is waay awesome! You did a fabulous job it was well worth the extra time you put into it! Gambit's always been my favorite too and while I agree the Legacy costume would have been sweet what's better than tradition?

Thank you so much! Totally agree on that! Even if I wouldn't be caught dead on that classic costume, it's just too classic to ignore!

Thanks so much yet again! The effects took me an eternity to do haha! )
For my works I use the Sketchbook X app in the iPad, and I do all my pencils, inks, and colours there thanks to the variety of tools available! Pretty nifty!

I love how this looks! You captured him perfectly! Great job with the smirk.
Just one thing. On the queen of hearts and the 4 of diamonds, we can see through them where they are in front of him/his clothes.
But that's a minor detail. It looks awesome!

Wow thanks again! I really love the smirk too, it just all went well I guess!
As for the see-through cards I guess I just kinda wanted to prtray it that way, though any comments at all are more than helpful! Thank you!
