Description
Whew! Finally finished this Alacrity piece that was commissioned by ! Took me a lot of time to work out the poses, perspective and BG (i hate BGs) as i still didnt use any references even for this piece except for Alacrity's costume design.The idea was to have Alacrity face off with an opponent while she has suspended in midair with her hands free so this is what i came up with. This was a special request (with special additional fee of course) to have some sort of BG added. Hope you guys like it!

Its too dark. Did Alacrity get a costume change? Because I don't remember her wearing purple. Come to think of it, I don't remember a mask or claws either.

Dont tell me you're watching this on a laptop again. I though i have fixed my issues with dark pieces coz im using an LCD monitor as well. sigh... As for Alacrity, she's got like 10-20 different costumes actually. She's got some futuristic urban wear, medieval-type look, futuristic melee armor, magical-powers look, etc... hehe

I have a LCD monitor but its not a laptop. And yes I was given information on Alacrity's clothing from her creator.

Not unless you learn to live off a daily consumption of paper and lead.

a hell of a lot of Ala's costumes are purple .. and she's often masked, lol. Check my faves~!
I think you mean "pink" - which she does wear quite a bit too.
It looks purple cos of the lighting.
this is actually one of Alacrity's earlier costumes, but not featured in art much, idk why not .. here is the first time she's depicted in it, on dA that is ~ [link]
You'll see a lot more of her wearing this outfit, or some permutation of it.
Alacrity isn't confined to one single costume - with all the activities Ala does, her clothes get soaked in perspiration (and blood) before long ~

The artwork I remember seeing she was usually wearing black and unmasked. And I remember her carrying a blade of sorts but not "wolverine" looking spikes. But the pink or purple looks good on her. Nothing wrong with varrying costume styles.

I love that blurry background, it adds to the intensity of the action~!
beautiful work with their poses
That dude is positively formidable, Alacrity needs to have the jump on him~!

I'm glad you like it A... happy to have finished it before you went away for vacation.
As the owner of this piece, any critique from you would be very VERY appreciated.

I'm glad that you're doing more enviros, cos the few you've done are efficient yet effective~!
I know that the composition of the two characters was tricky, probably more difficult than the background.
The focus is primarily on the huge dude, and rightly so, he is most formidable - yet there is desperation in his eyes, contrasting with the determination in Alacrity's ~
many thanks, this is all I was expecting and more ~

Glad to hear that from you A! Ive seen the recent stuff other artists have done for you and damn... they are GOOD!
Yeah, i usually work fast with pieces but this one gave me a lot of work! It would have been waaaaay easier and faster with references but i like to challenge myself.
