This page took FOREVER (or so it felt). Because of the intricate nature of the background, I actually did this page by folder. BG inks/flats/shading, weapons inks and colors, characters inks, colors, and shading. The idea is I will use that background image for the rest of the scene. As much of a monster as it was, there was no way I wanted to do a one and done with it.
Dominic looks VERY out of place in his bright shiny ceremonial armor when the rest have already changed into something more suitable for what's coming.
We also get to see in earnest the battle gear that the brothers will be using to fight from here on in.
In preparation for this page, I took some time to look up a more modern style of battle gear. But of course this concept is too intricate so I've simplified it somewhat (Which in turn makes it more uniquely my design). The story describes this armor differently, so I have a feeling I will be going back in and revising it's description to more match what you see here. I rather like the digi-cami pattern over the Army drab green. :O
As I am looking at the material I have, I believe I will only have a few more pages until this chapter is finished! O_O
