Commissioned by .

I was attempting a different approach to coloring this piece. Darker, "shinier," etc. For one, it's an image of a single centerfold (versus the usual 2) in a very different atmosphere than I usually draw. Kiaseli is an assassin trained in the skills of a priest, and thus in this image, her true identity is found out (here stems the name of this commission ^^;). There are cetain aspects I switched around for her outfit. Obviously, much of the base is of the priestess outfit: the dress, the stockings, and the shoes. I added in the assassin scarf, gloves, earrings, and leg wraps. I also took out her cross that should be around her neck and the cross patterns that should be on the tongues of her shoes. Just trying to mesh the two classes enough into one image (enough that she can get away with being a priest for a while).

I do like how this piece came out, even though it's NOTHING like what I was aiming for. The aura was fun to render, and I loved having fun with all the highlights (though I may have gone overboard a little bit ^^;). Those black blobs/smudges are supposed to be the silhouettes of people who are part of a lynch mob. ^^;

Sketched, outlined, and colored in Photoshop CS.

Time to outline: ~8 hours
Time to color: ~15 hours
Total time: ~23+ hours
