I envision their first touch woulda been something like this. Set after the infamous pool scene in X-Men #3, when Rogue and Gambit first truly interacted (he complimented her on a fine, "Olympic class cannonball" into the pool when they were brainwashed into serving Magneto and hanging out on his secret orbiting space base, and she responded by freaking out and throwing him off balance when he tried to offer her a hand out of the water). Revenge is a dish best served wet? Lol.

I needed practice drawing awkward positions (SO many funny selfies on my phone because of this!), practice inking and just practice in general. Plus I've always wanted to draw long-haired 90's Gambit Sketched in ProCreate, words and panels done with sketchbook pro (thanks again to Blambot comic fonts, y'all are fantastic!). I don't even wanna admit how long this took...let's just say a few months and leave it at that. I'm not happy with how...all over the place...this is. I'm trying to teach myself to be more refined, but learning how to tone it down and simplify my style is proving to be surprisingly difficult.

*minor edit: it's been pointed out to me that Gambit is sexually harassing Rogue. While yes, that's true, and no, fellas, this is NOT how you should approach a woman that you're interested in, Gambit is well known for being respectful towards women. He adores them. Rogue...well, her haughty attitude hid a lonely soul. Even though Remy tried being a gentleman at first, her sassy and flippant mannerisms brought out an equally obnoxious response in him. He only ever overstepped his boundaries once, in X-Men #4- and she promptly clobbered him.

Edit again: A certain upcoming Marvel writer commented that she thinks of Gambit as "skeezy", and the type to give dubious massages. I completely disagree. In light of that, I changed the wording so he comes across more as sarcastically suggestive, because I have zero intention of encouraging such an inaccurate portrayal of one of my heroes!

Gambit/Remy LeBeau and Rogue/AnnaMarie belong to Marvel.
