Rogue X-Men pencil layout

[jimlee]

Here's a blast from the past. Rogue from the X-Men circa issue 269 when she's trapped in the Savage Land. A very short scene but you wouldn't believe how many fans hold it near and dear to their hearts. Here, I'm trying to apply my since evolved style and do another take on the fan favorite character.

Awesome! Man, those stories were great. I actually reference one of the XMEN Savage Land issues you drew quite a bit. Great stuff. Even your sketches are amazing!

I remember it well.

When it came out... I was in high school.

When I was in college I had a Japanese Translation project and translated those Issues.

Heh! Thanks for posting.

I LO'E Rogue in the Savage Land era. ¦D One of my very first Jim Lee Uncanny X-Men issues was Rogue's return where she battled the pseudo-Ms. Marvel. The cover alone sold me.

Oh noes... why, Jim, why?? first I got sucked into buying DC Direct Action Figures up to now just because of the Batman Hush line... then I got sucked into Blogger 'cause of Gelatometti... then I registered for the all-new JimLee.net message board... I *KNOW* I'm gonna get sucked into DCUO when it's released... and now I'm gonna have to start a Deviant Art page.

Jim Lee art is a gateway drug.

I'll need an intervention if I end up signin' up for Twitter. That's ultimate stalker mode. XD

Peace.
