2 things come to mind when i see this.
1. That is pretty good, its very good work =)
2. OW!!
Make sure to share this when it gets done, I would like to see the finished product. Arctic shouldnt fear having his work put out there, its pretty damn good. 
Commented on DA, but yeah, spiffy sketch, but man that looks like it hurts.
Or.. doesn't.. and never will again...

Ok! Firstly, I'm sorry for getting off topic.
Secondly, for Dark Kerse, ROFL! I LOVE the Hami eating Pacman! 
Sorry, I HAD to comment!
Now back on track....
The work looks cool. I like the idea.
First this, then Graver's piece, it's been a very violent morning... I don't know if I can cope. *talk amongst yourselves, I'll give you a topic, John Ratzenberger, ya know Cliff from Cheers! Neither a Rat, nor a Burger... though he is gonna be on Dancing with the Stars!*
Um okay back to this piece... I think I would rather see the girl break the guy in half subject wise, it seems more out of the ordinary. The sketch is good, he should show more!
I want a hamburger. Seriously. Right now. With cheese. A real one.
Nice sketch, painful pose. So painful I had to sit in my massaging chair due to sympathy pain.

I made that mistake on dA... the big one, the one doing the spinal re-torsioning? That's a girl too.

Thats how we hug on Protector!
Thanks for the kind words guys. Sorry I didn't comment on this before now but I have been waylaid with a flu that comes right out of Outbreak! On the mend now and hope to have this pic done soon.
In a few minutes you're going to hate me for that title *sick sense of humor*
Anyway, ages ago I was talking with Uncle_Arctic about doing a pic for me. I was thinking of a fight scene between my characters Tarrine and Lyonessia going at it. I was looking for something a bit different: Instead of something big and epic-looking, I wanted something a bit grittier. In the end I got a pretty good mix of gritty AND epic, so I ain't complaining.
Here it is so far. This is just the sketch, and needless to say I can't wait for the full color version =D
(Comments wanted! Arctic had his reservations about putting a sketch up in the first place, and I figure getting a ton of feedback will put those worries to rest *sneaky bugger*)
