Artist's Comments

Comission for Pyratictiger! Very happy about this, except for the right foot.. A more cel-shaded, 'clean' colouring style.

HERE's a detail shot: [link]

The blue specs are for balance, they are... dirt.. or leaves... swooshing through the air... or something.

Adobe photoshop, wacom tablet, I like the effects with the gradients and the 'drop shadow' with red on the sword. Oh and the smudge tool is MADE for air-effects. :D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And HERE's her description:

"They come from the game Dofus, although they were pre-existing before I played the game. They're more "personas" that simply slipped into a class role.

Both sisters are of the class "Sacrier", well known for sacrificing themselves for the sake of their allies. I've coined the quote "I shed my blood so that my allies need not shed theirs". In the class photo that I showed you, the blood on themselves is their own.

Several of the Sacrier abilities are dependent on recieving damage to boost their own skills (eg. in Fresca's case, she has a skill called "Forced Punishment" whereby any damage she receives increases her strength). They are also non-weapon dependent, preferring instead to use hand-to-hand combat. They can, however, summon creatures like living swords.

Who are these characters?

Fresca and Intaysia Chaos. Twins, with Fresca being the "elder". Both are members of a long established guild called "Mercs. Inc." (Mercenaries Incorporated), with Fresca being the Guild Mistress.

Despite them being twins and of the same class, they both cater to different elements. Fresca is of the earth element, and like her element, she is as reliable as the Earth itself. Calm, thoughtful and all-embracing, she is steadfast and has a "think before you act" attitude. Despite her quietness though, she would do all she can to save any of her friends from harm. She is, however, manipulative and will assess each situation coldly and cooly - if the sacrifice of a guildmate will save a High Council member, she will not hesitate to do so.

Despite their class not being weapons-focused, Fresca is quite skilled with a katana blade. She can summon it and breathe life into it. Fighting-style wise, she prefers to be up close and personal with the enemy and fight with her summoned sword by her side. Her mindset is to see who can outlast the other. Because of that, she has very close ties with the healers of her group.

As for Intaysia, being the younger of the Chaos twins, she controls the element of air. And just like her element, depending on the company and her surroundings, she can be as warm and refreshing as a summer's breeze, or fiercely cold and cutting as a winter's gale. Cheeky, mischevious and headstrong, she shuns her
responsibilities though she embraces being in the frontline of any fight, fiercely protective of all her guildmates.

Intaysia's skills are vastly different from her sister's. Although she too can summon a sword, she would much prefer to use her element-boosted agility to dance and dodge around the enemy. Her attacks are long-ranged.

Both twins are very proud of their guild, but Intaysia is much better in public relations as compared to her sister.

Family-wise, they have no one else besides each other. However, they have come to treat the core members of their guild as a second family and as stated over and over again, would freely give their lives for them.

General physical description of the twins:

- Long sleek unbound hair
- Swirling tattoo made of thin lines covering the entire forehead, crossing down across one eye and over its corresponding cheek
- Bloodied cheeks, hands, wrist and arms (akin to the reference picture)
- The twins are clothed in the traditional sacrier outfit (reference -
[[link]). However, the borders of the skirt and top are decorated with the same swirls as their tattoos.
- The two are mirror images of each other, as in, Fresca's tattoo goes from left to right while Intaysia's goes from right to left.

Indepth physical description of Fresca:

- Fiery orange/red hair
- Golden eyes
- Black clothes
- The tatto/skirt/flap has gold coloured swirls
- Right-handed

Indepth physical description of Intaysia:

- Dark blue hair
- Silver eyes
- white clothes
- The tatto/skirt/flap has silver coloured swirls
- Left-handed

Very nice! I love the sense of movement and the arrangement. The use of bright colors works well - even the "air swoosh". :-) The molten katana is a nice effect, too.
