Dodge, is that you? o.o What happened...?<br /><br />Okay, so ~<a class="u" href="https://daitou.deviantart.com/">Daitou</a> asked me many many months ago if he wanted to do a collaboration with me. I have no idea why he would want to, since I suck and he doesn&#039;t, but I told him I&#039;d come back to him when I had an idea (and time).<br /><br />Fast forward to July. I had just finished Wanderer and had stuff about Dodge&#039;s character development on the brain, so I decided that Dodge would be the star of the collab piece. I give my sketch, which had a more extreme worm&#039;s-eye view than what you see here, to Dan for inking. He begins work on it, and the both of us find out that I had drawn parts of Dodge&#039;s torso and arms completely off-kilter, so he has to re-sketch pretty much the entire piece. *grumble* Talk about a blow to one&#039;s self-esteem as an artist. &gt;_&gt;; To Dan&#039;s credit, he did maintain the pose faithfully, and he employed some elements of my style in the re-do. (Notice the large eye, for example.)<br /><br />As for the inking, Dan asked me if he could turn Dodge&#039;s messy, unkempt hair into something resembling lightning, to represent her corrupt, artifice-driven transformation during Wanderer. I, of course, granted him permission, and I like how it turned out. I&#039;m just embarrassed that you can&#039;t see all the detail very well because part of her hair is black. <img src="https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />The background was inspired by a landscape by Philip Straub, the same piece which inspired the locale of Wyrmfell Spire on Arkaden Dividre. I kinda fell in love with the idea of big, ominous claws sticking out of the ground (they weren&#039;t that big in Straub&#039;s piece) and wanted to use them to add to that sense of danger in the background. I&#039;m not going to say where exactly Dodge is (spoiler alert: it&#039;s clearly not a marsh, so it&#039;s not Wyrmfell), but since she&#039;s a planeswalker, you could probably just use your imagination anyway.<br /><br />This is the second time in a row I&#039;ve put Dodge in a place with gray skies. I wonder if she&#039;s attracted to thunderstorms now...?<br /><br />Oh, and before I forget... Please click the download thingy! It&#039;s actually much bigger than 900 x whatever! o.o<br /><br />Lineart = <a href="https://daitou.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/a/daitou.jpg" alt=":icondaitou:" title="daitou"/></a><br />Character, colors = <a href="https://dfreak235.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/f/dfreak235.gif" alt=":icondfreak235:" title="dfreak235"/></a><br /><br />Thanks for helping me out, Dan. ^^ I think we&#039;ve made some awesome here.
