Rogue the Mechanic

This is my most recently completed piece. I wanted to draw Rogue. I wanted to draw a wrecked Sentinel. Here's Rogue and a small wrecked Sentinel.

I have an odd relationship with Sentinels. I very rarely see them, but they're such a massive part of X-men lore. They're the ultimate image of hate in the mutant community, a machine designed solely to kill mutants. Wolverine, during his civil war crossover, compared it to a burning cross. The evil Sentinel from the future Nimrod (I laughed too) fighting the New X-men was one of the first comic arcs I'd read, but I never really connected Nimrod to the classic Sentinel because they look so different. And at the same time those kids were being watched over and protected by Sentinels for reasons I never really looked in to.

And then there's Rogue who, as far as my personal experience goes, has gone from being a complete wreck to an amazing teacher. I don't know terribly much about her, but I like who she is now. X-men Legacy is definitely a book to watch.
