Description:
This hybrid‑origin illustration by Samuel Dorando celebrates one of Marvel’s most iconic mutant couples — Rogue and Gambit — blending the heart of a traditional comic commission with the polish of a full digital re‑render. Initially created as line art for an official Blank comic cover, the figures were later imported into Procreate and completely reimagined in 2024 with dynamic lighting, bold color, and cinematic depth.
Gambit stands in the foreground, trench coat sweeping behind him as charged kinetic cards glow with pink energy in his hand. Rogue rises behind him with confident poise, framed by the wreckage of a massive Sentinel head — a symbol of both their shared battles and their unbreakable bond. The composition balances romance, rebellion, and classic X‑Men attitude, capturing the duo at their most iconic.
Signed with the SPD Symbol, this artwork stands as a vibrant tribute to love, power, and mutant legacy — a fusion of traditional origins and digital reinvention.
