Rogue and Gambit #3 Variant Cover

Jeff Dekal is a fine artist who flirts with comics...he typically does stylized photorealism with an abstract twist. Very unique style, and pristine pencil work. He told me that he had reference from a photo session with this pair of models and was always keeping this particular image in mind for the right piece. When he was tapped to do a Rogue and Gambit variant (1:50, I believe) he immediately went for that reference and created a piece that I think captures the relationship of these characters perfectly.
