Today, we’re showing off one of my favorite bits of artwork thus far. RedPear really outdid herself when she took the commission for Steel Tip.<\/p>\n

Being such an important character to the series, I couldn’t have asked for a piece of artwork that pops as much as this one does. \u00a0He just embodies the cool, shameless hero that everyone really likes. Our favorite ranger has a power that you can’t really express through art unless you’re showing him practically mangled, so we focused on his general appearance and his attire.<\/p>\n

This was one of those pieces that didn’t have any other sketches to choose from, and I can say that I probably wouldn’t have chose any others. \u00a0After the sketch phase, we moved onto the full, uncolored version.<\/p>\n

\"SteelTip01\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just look at that! \u00a0Do you see how much that pops!? \u00a0It was freaking outstanding, and I think, even now, even though I have another handful of finished pieces, this one has remained my favorite, maybe only offset by another one or two.<\/p>\n

But then check out the colorized version. \u00a0This one is by far the most impressive character portrait that we have. \u00a0RedPear\u00a0really<\/em> outdid herself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, Kevin Gallagher, arguably the second most important person in Steel Tip’s development, had to go and make one last-minute alteration. \u00a0Because Steel Tip’s eyes are blue, and he has to step on everyone’s toes, he gave us this version:<\/p>\n
