Rogue Is Stunning As X-Men Artist Reveals Process Behind Hero Portrait
The incredibly talented artist Pepe Larraz, who is responsible for much of the beloved art in Jonathan Hickman's 2019 relaunch of the X-Men franchise, has shared his process for creating gorgeous watercolor pieces of classic heroes, with the artist featuring the powerhouse Rogue in a Twitter post. The X-Office, the team of creatives at Marvel Comics behind the current X-Men books, are an incredibly talented and collaborative bunch, and it is clear that Larraz's beautiful interpretations of X-Men characters have inspired the rest of the group.
Rogue, sometimes known as Anna Marie, is a character who was first introduced in 1981's Avengers Annual #10 as the child of Mystique and Destiny and a powerful villain, but who quickly became one of the X-Men's strongest allies and eventual leaders. Rogue has gone through generations of revamping and redesign and has seen her costume updated in almost every era but always keeping her signature white hairstreak and strong southern accent. Rogue gained mainstream popularity with Anna Paquin's portrayal of her in the Fox X-Men franchise, and her on-again-off-again relationship with teammate Gambit has been one of the longest-lasting fan-favorite relationships in all of X-Men.

Larraz was the artist on Hickman's already iconic House of X (2019) mini-series which saw Xavier and Magneto (and secretly Moira X as well) slowly creating the new island nation of Krakoa. Since then, Larraz has continued to remain in the Marvel spotlight, doing covers for various X-Books, and internal art for the massive crossover event X of Swords, and currently working with Gerry Duggan on the most recent iteration of the X-Men team.
