Flame & Frost

Twilight: flight - Asrelyn's imp, Balizar

Concept design for Saetarspillir, Linwei's future sword, at this time still lost in Edinobi, the City of the Dead. The sword's name means 'peace-spiller' or 'truce-breaker.' There is much yet untold . . .

To rescue Asrelyn, Linwei is forced to meet the Witch-Hunters in battle



As I'm coming to the end of rendering the final black and white art of this fight-sequence, time spent doing colour pieces in Photoshop has taught me to leave the background sparse or even blank at this stage (as seen in the page above). It's time-saving to draw in structures and add moody lighting behind the action during the colouring phase.
