Kevin Feige: Take note: This is how Gambit and Rogue MUST LOOK

[@keepitmaastricht9857]

Just discovered these video’s. Jim Lee, my favorite artist! Brings me straight back to the early ‘90s! ‘90-‘94 …When me and my best friend got completely obsessed with Marvel comics. X-men, x-force, cable, wolverine,spiderman, the fantastic four,venom, infinity Gauntlet, infinity wars, x-cutioners song and the age of apocalypse! Ahhh what memories come back! Unbelievable to see you draw from scratch! I used to stare for hours at the big fold out covers from X-men #1 (dutch version) All the characters together, such dynamic poses! Thank you for your art. ❤🙏🏾 Tomorrow i’m gonna dig in my boxes pull out some ‘90s X-men comics. 🔥🔥🥳

[@MarktheAirsoftPrimate]

Its like Bob Ross but with comic book art. Been a huge fan of Jim’s since X-Men #1, glad he’s doing this now.

[@danielnelson3136]

I agree, my favorite part is mostly him sketching it's so dynamic it's insane how EASY he makes it look! Don't get me started when he inks them!😲😲

[@MrBlack-wt5er]

This is a really good Gambit, maybe the best one I ever seen!

[@michaeljohnsonclyburn1397]

Omg!! This is AMAZING! I love Jims Xmen so this is just a treat for me. Really love the under drawing and process. So lucky to be able to see him draw this. Jims Rogue and Gambit are my favorites. How did I miss this stream?

[@VZAAGE]

LOL P115978564518957... you seem to miss all the streams... I haven't seen you in there for a long time.

[@chrisnuttall8816]

Wow, I've seen so many of Jims works, and he is like my favorite artist, so I've kept my eye on his work lots. But I gotta say, this is by far one of his most beautiful pieces. Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing ☺

[@VZAAGE]

Thanks for coming by and checking it out, Chris. I agree 100%.

[@IMP3TIGO]

Nice to see a Marvel drawing by Jim Lee. I guess it's because he's a DC employee (and now publisher), but her rarely seems to draw Marvel characters in his streams.

[@zackcvfair]

Rouge is just wonderful...

[@YourTitle]

Leave it to the legend that created the ragin cajun to draw him the best way. Amazing craft and glad to learn from de best!

[@thadonis.]

Man, of all the sketches he's done on stream that's probably my favourite. Would love him to make a print of that one, I would buy it without hesitation and frame it.

[@VZAAGE]

Heck yeah! This one is my favorite so far as well and I don't even care too much for these characters.

[@thadonis.]

Yeah. although I do love their designs, especially Gambit. Is there any chance you have a link to the full picture? The one you show at the end?

[@VZAAGE]

Jim has been sharing pictures of the sketches at discord.gg/jimlee to subs. I'm not at liberty to share that. Hopefully he'll post it on his IG/Facebook soon.

[@The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane]

This is amazing. I love Gambit and Rogue since they're part of the blue team (which is my favorite X-Men team). I would love to see him draw Daria and Trent in his style.

[@heliocavalcanti8309]

Man, i wish i had this epic piece! Great work , keep the goog work /,,/

[@envystxx]

gambit and rogue are my favorite xmen. amazing piece.

[@danielnelson3136]

Yes, Jim Lee's drawing definitely looks great! The only thing I might not do when I do drawings of my own, especially graphite mostly, is to erase too much. Too much erasing or using rubbers in this case distorts and roughens the surface of the paper. That's why I use sticky tac or kneaded erasers. You can just roll those suckers and they don't roughen the paper as much. But of course Jim Lee's gonna ink after the sketches, I tend to mostly graphite only and sometimes ink.

[@Buet-yb6ht]

Nobody draws Gambit & Rogue like Jim Lee, matter of fact nobody draws any of the X-men like Jim Lee. He’s a once in a generation type of talent!

[@pillar81]

Nobody can really do Gambit justice quite like Jim Lee. It's pretty much his baby, birthed out of his artistic mind.

[@julioromero7787]

Amazing, simply amazing. Thanks

[@jacksoncohilliii3871]

Watched part of this live on twitch...amazing

[@shutinalley]

I hope someday you get back to Xmen. Your time with it in the late 80s and early 90s is legendary.

[@TrueFaith94]

He is SO good, my god

[@jeremybraden6096]

How about a war machine sometime? This was amazing as always. Inspiring.

[@VZAAGE]

That's not a bad idea.

[@JeffLafferty]

Love watching these!

[@tmoney360]

Jim needs to comeback and team up with Chris Clairmont one more time and do another X-Men story.

[@VZAAGE]

I'd take Jim with or without Chris.

[@tmoney360]

VZA inn the grand scheme I would also. Shot I bought all-Star Batman and Robin just because of Jim's art but as an X-Men fan the Claremont/Lee combination is Legendary. I'd settle for Lee but I think that duo coming back together one more time on the characters that helped make them as popular as they are would be such a bigger draw.

[@mauriciofonseca2079]

He´s a DC manager now

[@tmoney360]

maulsoleu I am well aware of that.

[@TheMusicforeal]

Indeed! I think he should do wildcats with a re-freshed theme designs I miss Grifter, sister zealot and spartan or warblade

[@kanarcydalive1579]

Its a ease on the mind to see a pro erase a spot more then once.

[@pdbowman]

4:05 “die Kunstgötter” = the gods of art!

[@camm8642]

always up for classic xmen stuff dope

[@VZAAGE]

Nothing like it!

[@camm8642]

nothing indeed hope he does more xmen stuff reminds me of the days I used to love it

[@michaelgarcia5493]

The 80s & 90s were awsome 🤘🤘🤙

[@danielnelson3136]

I think it's long enough you could talk about those new Dead Pool characters. Crazy if Marvel was triggered by this and complains about you, I mean you're THEE Jim Lee!😂😂

[@Yup71719]

Gambit is my fav

[@mauriciofonseca2079]

I just tried to draw the same picture but what I got today was a waste of paper.

[@AfroSnackey]

One of my good friends gave me those pens you're inking with a week before he committed suicide. He told me to make sure that drawing keeps me happy and I never saw him again.

[@Rafael-qd3yq]

Omg! I'm sorry. At least u have a reminder of him

[@jakemacdonald305]

Is there any way/where to see a quality image of the final picture?

[@Artisan1979]

32:40 both and with shoulder pads and multicolored shirts and it was hip to recycle. Oh and Pam wasn’t all plastic.

[@DarKKnightt07]

Jim Lee draws the best version of X-men hands down.

[@DementedDistraction]

Anyone know what camera he uses? The video skipped when he was talking about what camera he was using - all I could make out was him mentioning a Karl Zeiss lens.

[@VZAAGE]

He never has said but a few times a screen saver came up and it was one of Sony's HandyCams. I couldn't tell you which one. You should try asking at discord.gg/jimlee

[@Daikkenaurora]

Always fun to watch. Rogue's neck is too skinny though.

[@anatomicallycorrectmuppets8180]

Watching him Jim for my monthly ego-assbeating

[@maxencevanderstichelen1520]

Where can i find this draw ?

[@renanpanobianco9583]

How do you chose the poses ?

[@VZAAGE]

I'm just a dude who edits these videos. You should join discord.gg/jimlee to get in touch with Jim.

[@brandonwestallen1629]

Anyone know when his wally west drawing is gonna be? Any guesses

[@VZAAGE]

Jim drew him during the last stream. You can check it out over on his Twitch/KZbin channel. I am planning to edit it pretty soon though.

[@brandonwestallen1629]

VZA civilian clothes or flash suit?

[@VZAAGE]

Flash suit.

[@NavySharkz]

I wish that he would draw more of his own characters like Wild C.A.T.S.

[@alexd15680]

I wish you can auction all the drawings you drew on KZbin. I would love to buy them.

[@sjvr13]

WOW!!!!!

[@petitio_principii]

Rogue's rendering is quite a bit unlike Jim Lee's style back when he drew X-men in the 90s. I wouldn't even recognize as his, but Gambit's face somehow deviates less from his 90s style.

[@vinceherr6604]

The goat

[@xyoungdipsetx]

What pen does he use

[@boibleu22]

He generally uses Sakura Micon pens and Black India Ink for the larger areas with brush.

[@VZAAGE]

I've got a FAQ for you... vzaage.blogspot.com/2014/04/whatpen.html

[@xyoungdipsetx]

alex nguyen but what kinda brush is it?

[@boibleu22]

Check the FAQ VZA posted just above. He def. put a lot of work in his research.

[@sirsupesafro7637]

44:49 went from Bob ross to jumpscare

[@mothermaryssongmicheal479]

You know I think Gambit was inspired by a young Clint Eastwood, in his looks, and the trench coat. Just look at good bad and ugly.

[@phily-phil]

I do seem to remember reading a Jim Lee interview a long time ago (maybe in Wizard magazine), where he (Lee) was thinking of a younger Clint Eastwood type as his inspiration when designing Gambit.

[@mothermaryssongmicheal479]

@@phily-phil yeah, he even has the man with no names personality to an extent, mysterious and cool, though Gambit has more of a sense of humor.

[@darkestscoreonline7719]

can you draw sister freida from dark souls

[@titanjoc]

Any one else notice that's the jacket that Hush wears

[@jalpafett]

Sinsei Lee Lee -di-ga

[@MG-ol8hs]

That Rogue is crazy hot..

[@speeknoevil1803]

I wish Marvel could get the artist and writers from the 80's & 90's back and save Marvel's dismal company from self destruction.

[@hateUmankind]

sadly that not going to happen anytime soon least Dinsey fired the PC Feminist SJW Dirvirty write & Artist from Marvel forever

[@UrbanTiger74]

Dude...i remember when Marvel started going downhill in the late 90s early 2k. Cover art was badass until you opened it...and it was like...YO WTF!?!? *place back on shelf*

[@Erik-rc6sh]

the movies and animations are dope old timer

[@GhostOfBilly]

15:50 Modern comic books industry editorial policies are so weird Cigarettes: BAD Hard Liqour: OK

[@lukasthelin]

I'm getting triggered by him drawing over the eraser residue!

[@pillar81]

I was feeling the need to blow on my screen watching it.

[@alcionesilva1588]

show de bola!!

[@alex_arguelles_echevarria]

Inspirador.

[@zillaerth]

40:39 TIMBUKTU

[@kornelious1]

Wish I could draw comic book characters this good. I'm better at realism sadly lol...

[@Gambitjordan]

Jim I challenge you to a gambit draw off(I know I'd lose) but CHALLENGE none the less

[@VZAAGE]

Hi Chris. I'm just a dude who edits these videos. You should join discord.gg/jimlee to get in touch with him.

[@McHaven07]

Imagine Jim drawing Gambit VS Yugi Motou/Atem! Cards for DAYS!

[@NatalieKingCole]

Please Bring back your character Death blow and draw once again

[@Ronnytrials]

Love your style but all man has a Clint Eastwood face. Ahahahaha

[@Studio8Worx]

hhahahaha dragon ball z : D

[@Artisan1979]

As cool as his armor is, Gambit’s look makes zero sense to me. I mean he’s wearing piping at his waist that has zero function and the cross cross pattern at the neck scream the era. This was Jim trying to be cool

[@RP752000]

These guys are a cute couple but they are no RED HOOD & HARLEY QUINN !

[@VZAAGE]

They're a thing? I never knew that. What do you recommend reading to see them together?

[@RP752000]

Oops, sorry I just thought they would make the ideal couple. If Jim Lee ever decided to do another DC book, those two would be perfect to tell a story about with Bane as the story villain. There was this Highlander TV spin-off called THE RAVEN, that type of chemistry.

[@boibleu22]

The Goku ruined the piece.

[@VZAAGE]

No way, man. That made the piece so much better IMO.

[@boibleu22]

Blasphemous!
