WD.issue4.Pg17.Pn2and3Szekeres

Originally painted in 1994, This was interior artwork for the forth issue Pg17, panels 2 & 3 for the Original WaveDancers comic series. The art features Raenafel rising from the water, the first time our characters Barmek and Sleia see her. The 3rd panel was a popular image of Raenafel with lots of fan mail focussing on it, but I guess there was a build up of 3 issues beforehand to see who this "lost Crown" really was, that Winnowill could be mistaken for. I've even seen this image as a tattoo, which was the highest of compliments.

Wendy sent me dyes to paint with, but probably due to my lack of experience with using them, I really did not like working with them, so they were relegated to background washes and such as in these panels. The figure work was done in the acrylics that I was only still just learning, but felt more comfortable with.
