Fire Rising

A little tribute to Shakuro, the hero of my webcomic Angeldevil.

And yes, she is female.

Gawd. This was the painting that did not want to be made! So first I went through about a dozen sketches over the course of about a week… which is something that seldom happens to me and it drove me crazy not being about to come up with the perfect pose. Then, when I have got the drawing sketches, I got side-tracked by other projects and ended up doing the background weeks later, and then shoving it into a pile of doodles until yesterday when I finally knuckled down and finished it.

Not that I dislike this piece. I'm actually quite pleased with how it came out. It was just all the artistic stars aligned against it or something. :/

Anyhoos. If you like the look of this gal, you can read more about her adventures by visiting:
