Looking at Gambit again...

Back on June 27 I posted the first item on my Dream List: Gambit as he should be.  I came across a picture today that really made this clear to me: a sketch of Gambit by Mike Deodato Jr., who happens to be one of the gods of my pantheon. It was probably drawn some years ago. He draws Gambit as I think he should be: controlled stance, wild hair. Balanced, muscular, athletic body.  Powerful but casual stance. Look of intelligence, menace, and interest, mixed.


Here he is by Clay Mann, in a recent issue of the current comic:


Nice sence of movement, nice pink glow, but the essential character just isn't the same.

Not to my eyes.
