Artist's Comments

The first full color combat scene for Zero Haven, featuring Riot and Tempest :D

Riot just barely managed to lift his gun to block Tempest's
scissor-sword, Veles-- though whether Tempest would have actually killed him is another matter...

SO. This is the first pic I've "inked" in a long time, and the linework took maybe 4-5 hours to complete. Then the fun adventure with color began.

I got through my entire base color layer only to realize the style of coloring I was planning wouldn't fit well with the linework, so I had to go redo all the base colors over again, on separate layers. The coloring process took the better part of two days, switching between Painter and Photoshop, but mostly staying in Painter til the end, when I cleaned up in PS and added finishing touches.

Mmm.. I don't remember what initially sparked the idea, but I guess I couldn't think of any characters that use such a weapon, so it felt like a unique idea :)
