Description

Hitomi has gone through a lot in this battle, including several floors, walls and ceilings, in order to finally take down X-23, but her opponent still manages to look none the worse for wear?  Gaddangit!

Private Commission!

For those who might be wondering why the winner of the fight looks like she went through worse, there are a few explanations:

X-23 has a healing factor, meaning that any cuts and bruises she may have gotten during the fight would be gone in due time, so only dirt and stains would be left.

X-23 is also wearing her combat uniform, which is form fitting and is likely designed and constructed to take on worse punishment than regular clothing (that, and if she got it the same way as her teammates in the comic, it's also magical).  By contrast, Hitomi's looser garments are more prone to getting caught on edges and other debris, and are more likely to suffer damage during a prolonged fight against an enemy whose primary weapon consists of metal claws...

See?  I put a lot of thought into these pieces.

With this, the Holiday Commissions set is complete!  My current rates are still displayed on my main page, so send me a note if you're interested in a piece for yourself!  If you haven't already, add me to your Watch list, so you can get updates on contests and other special offers that I announce on my DA Journal.

Hi!  Sorry, I usually don't do updates for paid commissions, unless the commissioner himself were to pay for the work.

But don't worry.  Hitomi's a favorite of mine, so I'm sure to do more work of her on my own from time to time.

Also I offer requests from time to time, so you might be able to get a gift art of your own then!

It's seem like you thought of everything except that Hitomi couldn't possibly win in a fight with X-23. Nice work though.

Thanks!  I like to think that every character has his or her own way and chance of winning, that's where pics like this get their fun.  

Considering the kinds of hazards that can be used in a single fight (a derailed train, a helicopter, and charging tigers not being the least of these), the DOA fighters can take their fair share of abuse.

I think anything would be possible with X, save for the situation where she's subjected to Trigger Scent, with which I suppose the gloves would be off, and the claws definitely out.
