Final piece! Because if you're in jail, the best thing to do is break out. Including the line art of the scorpion piece, this is the tenth illustration.
Chapter 7- Restrained Resolve
Iron bars slammed home, flakes of rust peppering the stone below.
Xyk took his time getting back up, his body wracked with aches and stabbing accusations of misconduct. After that tussle, his cuts were likely bleeding through their bandages.

Working on lighting. Dave decided to paint in the rock shadows instead of my hard blocking. Whew for me!

Characters and shadows in motion. Also, that's a lot of rocks.

Pencils in pencil jail. Perspective is a pain, but when it's right, it's brilliant.

Blues for sure. And have some perspective drawing. And fun fact: in college Dave would host mini groups explaining to a few of us how to do our perspective drawing homework that was due in the next half hour. I got a very solid 'A'.

Namah is agog at someone (seemingly) grilling Tinsel for real!
...In her defense, she's like 9 here. And so the Boore fascination was born.

Finished art from yesterday's stream- a Dreamkeepers Volume 6 panel. The comic panel won't have the text, but this is the standalone version so we thought it would make a great propaganda poster.
BE SAFE! OR ELSE.

This isn't the next step in creating the illustration, it's actually the last. This is the final 'glints and glows' layer without anything else. Note how much work goes into this, so much you can figure out most of the scenes. Let's keep working!

Line art to Rosa's flashback backstory. She's had a rough upbringing. Better color it!

Blues to Rosa's backstory. Fun fact: the illustrations are rating appropriate, aside from violence. Language is the story's only crime. The ring appears.

Thumbnails again. If this seems confusing, it's a flashback/story moment.

Finished piece. I just realized everything is shiny because the rain stopped. And this piece has been locked up 'for years!'
Scene 4- The Proposition
Fury spent, the thunderheads left Shaniko Valley awash in a violet dusk. Xyk followed Rosa's pale form as she sidled through the humid gloom. Passing the edge of town, they left the pungent tendrils of civilization for the craggy foothills beyond.
Rare scents bloomed in the wet desert air. &...

My flats. Didn't have to color in the rock and brick detail, but I like to keep Dave happy. It's how we work.

Sweeping left to right, we have the pencils. Didn't have to do all that little detail on the rocks and bricks, but yes we did. Note the perspective blues don't show in scans. That's why non photo blue is popular. It doesn't scan unless you reprogram your scanner. Usually in animation.
