Uncanny X-Men (2024) #23
So I started this sketch absolute ages ago (last November or so) but only got around to finishing it this past month. I was going through old sketches and this one drew me back in. I had a lot of fun last time I did a drawing based off an old painting (Fallen Angel for anyone curious), and this one was equally fun.
The original painting (posted below the cut), entitled "The Meeting on the Turret Stairs" was done in gouache by Frederic William Burton. Reading up on the history behind the image reminded me of my old art classes. I honestly kind of miss it and probably will do more of these down the line (open to ideas/suggestions!).
I'm not sure how popular Rogue and Gambit's Excalibur looks are. But I personally love them! The layers and overall style is super fun (and honestly looks pretty comfy). I also LOVED that Rogue's cape has a somewhat similar feel to the dress from the original.
I meant to share this commission awhile ago! (January actually 😅) It's a drawing for an adorable Christmas story called "closer through the seasons" (on ao3 under Julia456) and this particular scene takes place near the end. I had the best time working on this drawing and highly recommend checking out Julia's story if you like cute Evo Romy. 😍
