Description

The arguably better version with no background: Here

I greatly desired to make an image showcasing the perceived parallels between Julia/Henry and The Red Pawn.

These two feel like symbols of their times - one of technology and tamed lightning, the other of fire and chessboard motifs. A cog and a pawn. Both analogues giving forth the idea of every little piece counting towards the success of the whole.

That said the analogue is slightly undermined by the fact that Henry/Julia accomplished a lot less than The Red Pawn did. I blame my own blunders, as well as an unforgiving GM and the characters early death. For them to become a symbol of any kind a lot of fact-stretching and word of mouth needs to be done. Then again they are a very memorable person who'd make for good stories. The invert who fooled the military. The one who was forced on the position of the Red Pawn general, the one who worked seven years to get a group of temporally displaced englishpeople back to their own era, even when said englishpeople abandoned him and even when he knew that the body that awaited him in England was mauled and broken. The one who held on just long enough once back from Wyderia to come clean with their lies, then succumbed to their injuries. I wouldn't be surprised if their deeds DO start getting a more positive and exaggerated spin as time goes on. I mean Samuel knows Henry sucked at being a general but the rest probably know very little about what they actually got up to during their seven years in Wyderia.

They never got to be a canonical electromancer due to, you know, dying, but that doesn't change the fact that lightning bolts and a brown trenchcoat still remains my favorite get-up to draw them in.

I discovered how a liberal use of layer masks and blur tool can give the image a look that's either...either ethereal or the kind that's common in every typical fantasy photomanipulation ever. I quite like the effect though, I'll definitely use it more in the future.
