Description

Finally got this one done, and again I staled it longer than I worked.  I like the background but the trees look like crap.  The mountains are okay but I like the grass the most.  I had to draw every single blade of grass because no way I'm gonna stamp it.

    It's easy to tell I had trouble on Artemisia because she's posed so strait.  I wasn't completely captured by her redesign but time and a few commissions helped me get used to it.  A sketch commission of her got me better with her the most.  You could probably find the one I mean by looking at her head.  Typically, I changed a few things.  I had another idea for her horns that I liked better but that's not the point so I went with the one she liked.  Her hair is shorter.  A bit ironic since I liked her with longer hair from the older version.  She looks a little younger the way I did her to me.

    I loved the new version of Death-Adder and he's a great character personality wise.  His gun is a bit odd looking but once explained it makes more sense.  The gun has two modes.  When he pulls a trigger on the left end of the gun it will change the front and slide of the mags in place.

    I liked my idea for Diamond-back before but now that I drew him I freakin' love it!  He's not super sized but ya'll probably know that already.  He's a weapons designer just like Death-Adder so he has a personally crafted gun, that's why it's a but bulky.  It sounds like a large cannon blast more than a revolver when fired.  Alexis is the same image I used before.  I didn't want to draw another because it would had looked pretty much the same.

If I get a better way to draw lines on tablet I'll do a comic of the whole story line because the way I do it now takes way too long.

    Artemisia is the main character of the story.  The reader is kept on her level on info on the story, there's not much info given that the reader knows and she doesn't.  What was her job at first kinda became a hope of revenge after her partner was killed.  She's had to keep her partnership with Death-Adder a secret from the others because he's a wanted outlaw though he's pretty much the opposite of evil.

    Diamond-back is quick to show he's the villain by killing art's long time partner and scaring her to bloody tears.  He left Art with a warning that he'd kill her then next time she attempted to get in his way.  Though he does this in a very cruel manner, he shows a small amount of care for others' lives when he could of been done with her that very second.  He knows Death-Adder and considers it an honor to be his rival.  They don't fight unless he's in the middle of a robbery and they have even had lunch together before.  Alexis is a villain to the main character but she has a more care in her heart.  She's the only reason Art's still alive because she convinced Diamond to not shoot kill her.

    Death-Adder plays as the strong, bold and caring hero character to the story.  He's a symbol of achievement, having earned all his strength and knowledge from hard work and dedication.   He knows Diamond-back very well and he's the only one against him that has earned Diamond's respect.  Death-Adder came to stop Diamond after he killed Art's first partner.  Though he puts an effort to keep Artemisia and Diamond-back apart, he's almost sure she'll look for him and Diamond will for fill his warning to kill her.  Death-Adder has another motive that only he and his wife know about.  Death-Adder always calls Artemisia "Artsy".  She tells him not to but she's just gonna have to get used to it.

(Edit) I adjusted Artemisia's angle.  Every time I looked at her my head turned to the right so I shifted her.  I made some changes to the trees to make them a little less cruddy and did a few tiny changes in the background.  I also added a few things in the description but it's not so important that you have to look for them.
