"They stopped, facing off against the large group of the enemy that had simply sprung out of no-where. Their swords, quick and sharp as they were, would still be little match against so many. But the smoke from the High Priestess' bag was hanging in the air already, twisting with the words that the Prophet was reciting. The air became a thick guaze of clouds, which parted suddenly with the appearance of a giant, dark-winged dragon. The enemy took a step back at last. 'Did you do that?' one asked of the two women. 'Uh huh,' the Priestess smiled. 'What do you call that thing?' another begged, sounding more than a little ready to run. The privateering Prophet responded, 'Backup.'"

Doc's Notes: This is the last two months of work in culmination - pen & ink that is the style (and subjects) I feel I excel at, but haven't had much chance to do in recent years. You can see pencils and poses (my wife: Tamera and her friend Laura) in my scraps section. In the end, despite my experience, I looked to everyone from Virgil Finlay, to Frank Cho, Alex Raymond, & Frazetta for inspiration and guidance when trying to combine patterns to complete this piece. I am very happy with the results, which took about, oh, one billion hours (really, I counted). Original size 11 x 14, on bristol.
