Artist's Comments

I've been working on this one for awhile ;)
This is a group shot of three of my major antagonists, all of which work for a corporation known as LaRose. They basically make up the highest ranking staff for the less-than-legal side of LaRose corp.'s dealings. They all have a wide range of abilities from assassination to espionage to negotiations with other underground criminal bodies.

They're also good at being proper enemies for Rick and his friends :)

From left to right:

Nathan Libertie: Specializes in weaponry, security, and transportation.

Valerie Sune: The leader and extremely skilled in espionage and negotations.

Maxim Spike: Mainly used for enforcement, but also works as an assassin. As long as he's in a position to "liquidate" someone, he's happy.

This is my first time putting Maxim and Nathan in color and their first apperance in my gallery as well, please let me know what you think :)

Please full view it to get the most amount of the detail. I tried a few new things with shading and high lighting.

Whew - where to start...
The shading is well done - so great job on that - and the semi-close up shots of the chars in the background look really interesting.

Nathan looks very cool - he seems to strike me as the kind of individual someone could rely on (as long as that someone is a friend of LaRose Corp, anyway).

'Don't know what to think of Valerie. She's pretty, of course... but the idea of a casually dressed char with a wide range of abilities seems sorta scary. Almost like she's sayin' something like: "I don't need anything to beat you."

Maxim's mah fav out of the three - just because of that obnoxiously green, 'totally out of place for an assassin,' color scheme. His outfit looks like a gardener's - which is all kinds of ironic fer someone who enjoys smashing heads. Kinda makes him look like a psycho. X3

Wow :) Thanks for the in-depth comment. It's very much appreciated! I'm glad that you enjoyed the image.
Maxim's one of my favorite characters to toy around with in terms of concept =P He is rather psychotic, but only when he's enjoying himself. I wanted to give him a very down-to-earth outfit that made it look like he came from a more wild world than most of my characters. His color scheme doesn't lend well to assassination, but his idea of assassinating someone is dragging them into an alley and ripping them to shreds. He's just in it for the violence ;)

Nathan's better suited to the quiet assassination since he has the most skill with arms of the three. He's very loyal as well, at least to those who pay him ;)

Valerie is a strange character. She actually knows a little bit of magic, but she doesn't use it around most people. Her skills are mainly in deception and manipulation. She can get almost anyone to do almost anything that she wants, and she seems to be quite talented at arranging for a person to have an "accident" when they cross her.

Again, thanks for the detailed comment :)
