NT9 228-229
Quickly made up as I want to get it on with NT10's illustrations. This is an important scene in NT9 where a mortal challenges a god.
I think getting a back in stride here after my computer died and all my techniques, files, and filters went into oblivion as well. The second version seen here was the initial version of this colored illustration to match the NT9 210-211 I did a few days back, but playing with a bunch of filters resulted with what we have here right now. Both of these files are here for your perusal.
