Another Job - January 5.
Added 2017-01-05 20:41:32 +0000 UTCA (slightly late) sketch for a patron from last month. The holidays pretty much wrecked my schedule, so many social calls and visits and the nightmare of retail-work just pushed all projects back.
I've only ever inked pine trees once before (I think it was for the Morhost book) and they seemed to fit the theme of this picture. A sort of 'mountain' or hill setting. I'm surprised by the amount of times I get to draw rifles and various fire-arms in patron sketches, given what I mainly draw is in the fantasy genre, but I'm definitely not complaining, as it gives me practice at developing a 'modern image' toolkit as well (Good for doing game illustrations for companies!). This weapon is a 20mm sniper rifle, though the ref model I had plastered around also had 30mm parts as well.
And of course, otter. Because otters are awesome.
Either way, description below from the character's creator!
" The otter often spends days in search of just the right vantage point from which to observe her prey. An independent agent, Austin receives her orders in the usual way, then vanishes, turning up several weeks after the work has been completed.
Wet ops are always messy, frequently challenging, and sometimes ethically questionable. For an agent on who's shoulders rides the safety of so many others, however, each and every job can be seen in just one way: necessary. "
