"Yaah!" - It was clear where the initiative lay in this combat...
I wanted to present two clear strong figures, whose costuming and character were easy to read. To achieve this I adopted a more muted, less saturated, background against which their vibrant colours would stand out. Note how I fade the trailing, distant limbs by also dropping back their saturation. This also helps with the depth, and clarity.

Rouges always have the combat initiative.

Unless their fighting Elven Rangers... then it can be a toss on who's faster.

D&D can be a bit tricky about combat initiative, unless you roll a 1 or a 20.

Well, can't help but feel sorry for her. All her powers are based on the assumption that she can talk and utter her words of power. But if her breath is knock out of her so sudden and violently, she has little chances of surviving the encounter. Having said that, I have other sentiments on the matter. Take that you arrogant wizards and sorcerers that belittles the efforts off all other weapon wielders for using their brawn instead of their brains!!!. Your strength is always with you no matter if you can talk or not.

Hey Ralph, did you drop the saturation of the limbs by changing your paint mixture (mixing up a more muted version of those colors) or did you glaze your background paint over the limbs? Just curious about how you approached it.

I would do the first - paint mix, but then if it then needed a further tweak I would probably use a glaze. Indeed that latter is a very usfeul tool to push an element back that has already been painted.
