Cable Sketch Card by Duke

A preview for the upcoming Duke’s X-Men Art Takeover broadcast showcase on Whatnot. The illustrator executed this unique, 1-of-1 hand-drawn original Cable sketch card using traditional media.

The artwork is handled using multi-layered markers, fine liners, and opaque mixed-media highlights. The composition features a tight, gritty close-up of Nathan Summers wielding his signature plasma weaponry against a dark, industrial background. The design relies on a striking dual-lighting chiaroscuro scheme, contrasting cool metallic blue-grey highlights on his shoulder armor against a fiery crimson and orange under-light that accentuates his battle-damaged features and the high-intensity energy flare bursting from his left cybernetic eye. The completed card will be auctioned live during the broadcast event.
