Took me a while but I finally decided on Taclobanon (Jet Amago). I got the rough draft today and I'm pretty excited...



one of the reference shots...



Thanks for the direction when I asked (a few weeks ago).

Very cool... Can always count on Taclobanon for great arts!

I'd have maybe liked the skulls to be just a tad more obvious but that's just my personal taste

Look closer at the clouds, especially just to the right of her outstretched hand and just above the left scarf are two more though a little less defined.

[Edit] Oh, you meant MORE obvoius. No, I like them the way they are. It's a constant in her life but it doesn't rule her.

Yep, like I said - just a personal preference...

And maybe more just an expectation since they were more "out front" in the sketch. All in all I wish I could hide them altogether on my tank and definitely wouldn't want them in art of his ..

They work great as is and the overall pic is very, very cool.

Can you give some info on the pose? What is she reaching out to?
The artist designed the pose and on the practical side it looks like she's taunting or challenging something unseen. If we leave it right there it would be plenty since she's never been afraid of confrontation ("what's the worst that could happen?" was our in-joke for those first 20 squishy levels while we were still learning the game - she was my first regularly played character).

But it struck a deep chord when I saw it because to me Lana has always been reaching for something... going from "weird kid with the tail" to a top gymnast in high school, becoming a hero like the ones that saved her from the Circle of Thorns... but mainly to connect with other people who tend to shun her because of her mutation's uncontrollable and macabre side-effects.

I think Jet hit her exactly on-target and really breathed life into her for me. Even the clunky boot is typical, practical Lana.

I'm very pleased.
