Description Gah! The damn print shop can't even scan a piece of paper right! Sorry about the cut-off by the "S" Ak.

Anyways, this is the final result of the "Animus" sketch for my friend Aktaroth (among other names ). In the top left is a portrait of the antagonist, Thuril, the bottom left are the protagonists Xetharien and Vathenat, and the center is a concept scene I created of the two protagonists. There's a lot of stuff from the story, and a lot that I just created on my own. Xeth's jacket, their facepainting, fur colors, and the lettering are all right from the story (including the ring-necklace and ear piercing on Vath). Some deviations are in the scene itself, which I just went with the flow of things and referred to Deus Ex for some ideas, as well as Vath's garments and the weapons.

I hope you love the poster Ak, and I want to thank you for all the things you've done for me. You are a wonderful artist and person that deserves more than I could ever draw. So thanks for all the kind words and support you have provided over the years

Everything about this is . Especially those textures. The shine on the buildings, the fur, the leathery look of Xeth's coat, the crackle effect on the lettering, and even the tattered edges of Vath's shirt.

Thank you! It took a while, and Vath was being a party pooper and making things difficult, so I'm glad it came out okay

Left an actual serious/lengthy comment on the FA version, but I'll abuse DA for what it is and present you with these in lieu of a copy-paste of my incoherent word-wall of appreciation and humility:

Wow dude that turned out really cool and I don't even know Aktaroth or the characters or story or anything like seriously.
