I am actually foaming-fangirl obsessed with Kevin Wada’s fashionista redesigns of X-Men characters. Above is his rendition of female Marvel mutants as famous opera heroines. Absolutely read the full description behind this breathtaking piece on his blog but here’s a cheat sheet:

• Mystique as the Queen of the Night
• Psylocke as Cio-Cio San
• Storm as Aida
• Boom Boom as Cunegonde
• Shadowcat as Octavian
• Jean Grey as Violetta
• Rogue as Carmen

Kevin Wada and fellow illustrator and friend, Max Wittert, decided to do a fashionista take on characters from X-Men to sell at APE 2011 and created a fantastic series of prints.

Let me make two things clear:

1) I. FUCKING. LOVE. ALL. OF. THIS.

2) This is Part 5 of 5 posts today.

Featured above: Rogue, Ms. Marvel, Emma Frost, Polaris, Storm, Psylocke, and Sage.

This fan art by David Yardin is simply GUH-ORGEOUS. I could lick my screen I love it so much.

It’s Comic Book Sunday!

I’ve always been a Gambit/Rogue fan but what drew me to this piece by Karen from Canada is the simple switch of props: he has her glove, she has his playing card (and by extension, his ability). Simple details that betray a deep trust.

Cale Atkinson calls this piece “Future of Joker” and explains:

“This is a pic I just did tonight for this week’s Sketch Taverns topic. The topic was to draw any DC comics character in the year 2099 (I believe Marvel had a 2099 series). So I figured it was obvious that the future of the Joker and Harley Quinn was to become X-Men! Was there ever any other option? I think not!”

Brilliant!

Gambit and Rogue are basically the Romeo/Juliet love storyline in the realm of the Marvel universe. If Romeo’s family were a band of thieves and Juliet had a shapeshifting adopted mother who extorts her for her power-draining abilities.

Ivanna Matilla did an amazing job with their facial expressions here. Rogue’s worry but desire are clear as well as Gambit’s reckless wanting.

I used to think Rogue had one of the more complex histories in the X-Men gang but Marvel has proved me wrong over and over and over.

Regardless, I heart this depiction of her along with the visages of her two biggest influences, Mystique and Gambit. Tis a collab between Jamie Fay and Rey Arzeno. Cheers, boys!

ScorpionBlaze sketched this marvelous bust of Rogue, my fave X-Men ever.

Torsor put together this spectacular array of female ass-kickers and I am LOVING it.

Marcio Takara’s wonderful depiction of the X-Men is the best bouquet I could ever receive. I love the details and the clean lines!

I’ve made it no secret that Rogue and Gambit are my favourite superhero couple ever and I think this piece of alt art by Eric Basaldua (line art) and Penichet (coloring) is simply wonderful.

Here’s a sweet watercolour alt art of two super X-Men, Rogue and Gambit, painted by Thony Silas Dias de Aguiar.

Yep, another reblog from the Tumblr of the talented Watermelonwings!

Though these series of X-Men doodles are more casual than some of her other pieces, I’m rather fond of them anyhow.

LOVE the chemistry between these two X-Men and so does John Tyler Christopher, who can actually draw.

As to what motivated this picture, Christopher writes that he “wanted to capture a moment of tenderness with a hint of something sinister. Showing the price of a forbidden love.”
