Facing The Inevitable

:iconimdedplz: This nearly killed me. And I worked so hard on it I was straining my wrist at one point. x_x  Ooh, scary, gnarly title. What inevitable thing are they facing?! (because, you know, Gambit doesn't look happy about it and everyone else either looks blank or unhappy.)

An exercise in drawing actual characters that were in the show and an exercise in backgrounds. Turns out metal is, as always, hard to imitate from a screencap. XD But seriously, I'll have to use this technique again: chalk brush plus colors taken from screen cap, then smudged. (Writing  it here because I'll never remember it.)

Everyone turned out pretty good, but Rogue's right eye nearly drove me insane. It was all crooked and it took a while to fix it. Then I nearly forgot to add the highlights and shading to her hair. And her uniform and body were a pain, but her brother Kurt's was sooo much worse!

Never. Want. To. Draw. Nightcrawler's uniform. Again. 
His abs and chest looked wierd, then I had to double check the color because I could've swore his boots matched his dumb gloves, but they don't they're red like his top. 

Everyone else was easier, but Remy was a little difficult (Isn't he always? I mean...drawing and in the show and comics and...yes.) Had to lessen his thighs and redraw his nose from a reference.

Few problems with Kitty and  Molly, but I had to wonder what to do with Mollys thighs, then I just figured everyone looks more...thicker...in a screenie than they do in the usual character turnarounds and whatever. Edit: Also, I did something much different with her hair. Since it's supposed to look like a screencap, those big rounded angles on the sides of her head had to be softend A LOT, so I did and she looks better for it, but still much the same. And like her hair isn't quite straight like the other girls. (Wish I could make it look truly curly, but 99% of the girls in Evo had straight hair, save for one black girl character with a puffy afro. 
x-men.toonzone.net/gallery/ima… Huh. She's, like, mixed. Well then. 
Edit: The frack? Another one! xmenetv.com/images/caps/01/01_… Steven Gordon, dude, other races have curly hair outside of black girls and even then, not all of them wear their hair in afro'!! OMG!! Speaking of, shouldn't Storm's hair be curly too? :( )  Something else to work on, even though I've drawn Molly's hair in a consistent (Edit: Obviously, sometimes not always good or that made sense!) way for many, many years. It's always good to improve though! 

Edit: Also, I based Molly's shape and shadows off of Jean's body, just shorter and chubbier.
Hopefully I can draw her this way a lot more to make her look show accurate. Would love to do
yet another turn around sheet when I can make the time for it! I need more practice! Sometimes drawing comes naturally to some, but I'm sure most of us have to work extra, extra hard at it!! 

The background has some flaws, but it's pretty good.

The bg looks amazing as a thumbnail, but just okay when you resize it. Well, gotta keep going.

Comments, critique are much appreciated!! :)
