Rogue Redraw

michaeldraws submitted:

First time submitting something, and it’s a redraw. I felt compelled to work this one over because I actually remember seeing this one back in the 90s!

Pretty much the only thing I kept in its original place was Rogue’s butt. Her torso was the main point of contention, originally deforming her abdomen and shoving her breasts unnaturally in our face. I tinkered with that till it felt a lot more natural, with her curvier (i.e. not just round) breasts moving across and around her chest, not just slapped on there for wanton display.

The other notes on the image itself are pretty self-explanatory, so I’ll keep myself from getting redundant. The new pose hilariously gets rid of the full-on visage of her thong, even though the caption goes out of its way to point it out. (And as a side note: what’s with comics females—especially of the 90s—simply having long, sharp/pointy fingernails? Seems like those would get in the way of throwing a good punch, which I know Rogue for one was plenty prone to do!)

Hopefully this redline drawing addresses all the major issues with the original. Sacrificed the more dynamic silhouette of the original, but what serves to make the form more natural also makes it definitively sexier.

Also wanted to add that I really love this blog! I browsed through it all the first night I found it and had many a good chuckle (also a few sobs). A new goal in my artistic career is to never wind up with my art featured on this blog! =D

Thanks for the great source of entertainment and backdoor education!

No problem!  Thank you for the re-draw and the wonderful breakdown. :)  This blog wouldn’t be half as awesome without people like you submitting these great and informative re-draws.
