"...and your enemies closer." by Krystal Tyler

A cover-like scene from a story I've been working on for ages.

Technical Stuff: Generally happy with this piece. The sky should be more tan/dusty with hints of green, not like tritium glowing in the dark. Some of the detail was lost in the characters when I ran them over with the clear blending pencil, but the colors became smoother, brighter, and cleaner. I managed to get the facial expressions of the red one correct, at least: the whole scene is supposed to look like Red and Golden are ticked off at each other (probably due to a snide comment from the red one), and the grey one should be looking annoyed at the red one.

This drawing was also practice at anatomy and forward perspective. It was a fantastic success for me. I'm really not sure why I can suddenly do musculature or feet from those positions (though they were a pain in the butt, let me tell you).
