2 New Commissions

I just got two new commissions featuring both Gambit & Rogue. The first is by Hoa Phong which was purchased off eBay. It is a montage of the characters and I think he captured the romance of these characters perfectly. See below for this amazing artist's incredible pencil work.







The second is by Tyler Kirkham. I've been hounding Tyler for almost two years to draw Gambit & Rogue for me and it's true...great things come to those who wait. Tyler's work can be seen currently in Ultimate Fantastic Four written by Mike Carey. He has also drawn the high profile miniseries and critically acclaimed Phoenix: War Song written by Greg Pak. In addition he showed that he can draw giant robots in New Avengers/Transformers. He is currently under exclusive contract with Top Cow which shares their contracts with Marvel Comics. Next year we should see Tyler's creator owned character Downfall finally appear in publication. Here's hoping. In the meantime though check out this sweet image of Gambit & Rogue posing in front of the Westchester X-Mansion.

I commissioned this from Guy Dorian awhile back and asked him to draw Gambit, Wolverine, and Rogue set in a western theme. I think it was perfectly executed.Guy Dorian "Wild Wild X"
