Carciphona - Duel

Like always: Blackbird vs Veloce from my webcomic Carciphona
I always wanted to draw something with them fighting, but once again I went overboard and made it too neat/clean and lost the force it had in the rough Q__Q
I've drawn a lot of sketches of them fighting in the past but I didn't like any of them. I drew this after I realized Chopin's prelude in g#- was also called the duel which was totally appropriate, and I guess having a rhythm/pace to the fight in the form of good music helped the choreography enough to make it worth colouring.
I had contemplated making this exclusive content for the art book, but I forked my soul out in this drawing SO IM POSTING IT LMFAO. There is a 2-page spread in the book with this drawing though! and this is probably the last illus I'll be posting to promote my book, so thanks so much for your support for the preorder event! I am eternally grateful

Another great piece. As usual, your work is awesome. I just came across this piece on Dyskami's website for the 4th edition of BESM. Given the whole fiasco that went down when Guardians of Order went under, leaving lots of freelance writers and artists unpaid for their work, I just wanted to be sure that 1) They are using this piece with your permission and 2) You either have already been paid or have good reason to feel the payment is forthcoming shortly. (The launching of this product via Kickstarter started a very emotion-filled thread at rpg.net, with those who had personal experience with GoO's closure and written off debt being quite vehement about freelancers being wary of working for this new venture.) I wouldn't want to see you get burned, but I also wouldn't want you to miss out on a perfectly legitimate opportunity to sell your work and expand your fanbase, if there isn't actually any problems.

I've read the first chapters of Carciphona and I can say that I like it
I am also fascinated from your artworks, like the one up here, in particular from how you draw and paint the clothes: the details are absolutely stunning! Your art inspires me and I hope to learn a lot from your works
! I just cannot stop watching the details...
