Description

"Not so high and mighty, are you now, Pharaoh?"

I still haven't learned that after a break from drawing, starting with something complicated is not a good idea. Gah.

It doesn't really show that well, but Akefia is holding Atem in a guillotinge stranglehold. I guess I never mentioned it, but I took up Defendo in February. Yesterday we trained this particular stranglehold and escaping from it.
It's suprising how easily it can feel really, really nasty - especially if the one strangling happens to be taller than the one being strangled.
Believe me, I've been there - I'm the lucky one who's the shortest in the whole training group.

Long story short, I like putting Atem in uncomfortable situations. (Also I hold this belief that Atem sucks at fistfighting, so...)

To continue needless ranting, I tried a bit simpler coloring style. A bit less realistic, but I quite like the look of it. What more, it doesn't wreck my sanity and patience that badly. What do you think?
