One more commission down...finally. Between keeping up the schedule for the comics and fulfilling the Kickstarter, this one ended up taking two months of squeezing it into our busy weeks. We will be speeding up though, since the big bulk of work for the Kickstarter is done. Having a really good idea on how 3 of the next commissioned pieces will end up looking like though, I can say that corners won't be cut and the works should be around this level.
So here is Banana Caper:

This one if for a gal by the name of , asking for a picture of her beloved RO characters, Rutana (the assassin) and Lunaa (the priest). She gave us a really long background on the two sisters and their interactions and how they live which made it really fun to work on. Seeing her put so much love into her characters made Pie and me want to make a picture she would really cherish, especially since she quite regularly gets commissions of them. I had the idea for the framework and setting pretty quickly and Pie drafted it up. I wish comic ideas would come as fast as picture ideas! haha
I cant tell you how long Pie and I worked on this one...we kept tweaking and re-tweaking it to make it look right. The hardest part for Pie was getting the legs to look decent in that run cycle and considering the angle and composition, it wasn't easy. We were staring at it and altering it forever. I'm really happy with the way it came out and I think it's Pie's best work to date...at least until the next commissions come up.
