Description One of two images I did as a (belated) bday gift for Kostmeyer. I'd thought I'd make one of the images a pro Vigil image, the other not so much (though both do possess a bit of a peril theme... which I think tends to be expected of me in most images >_>). Naturally I think this one fits the latter of the subjects chosen, that and it was a good excuse to shovel in a cameo of one of my personal fav designed characters from my roster of charries, my enigmatic Assassin/Bounty Hunter, Ghost.

Though Ghost was always a concept I had in mind, the Vigil Villain Contest held by Kostmeyer gave me the chance to finally bring the concept to fruition and flesh out the character. I hope to get back to her series of tales soon, and I might actually bring them here to DA. This image is kind of based on a potential future storyline I had in mind in which Ghost comes after Vigil. If she succeeds in capturing the runaway heroine, no doubt Ghost would need some form of holding mechanism to house the powerful telepathic woman for transport. It doesn't look too comfortable if I'm honest

Hopefully one day the two will meet in canon, but we will have to wait and see. For now though, poor Vigil is in quite a predicament. If we know Vigil however, often when you think she might be down and out, she always finds a way out of a bad situation, and quite often manages to extract revenge and save the day when it comes to dealing with her enemies. Will Ghost turn out to be just another notch to her list of vanquished enemies should she get free?

Hope ye guys like the image!

Fantastic work, love the lighting and the restraints
are very well done, Vigil doesn't look too happy, and she may be all dressed up with no where to go

Indeed. Not a great situation for Vigil to be in. Ghost is quite a mean character it seems

Heh, I don't think Vigil is too fond of this one mind you

I enjoyed both pieces, but this one's a very nice in many ways.  >.> Quite the inspiring piece actually.

Poor Vigil! I don't know who is more mean to her, me or Kostmeyer. I think probably me tonight, but Kostmeyer certainly wins the long game on that one.

At the very least she always pulls through and saves the day! So it's all worth it in the end

Glad ye like the image!

So Ghost is going to be your go-to bounty hunter gal who will be after a number of characters

Mebbeh

She's pretty much my futuristic character. If she can catch Vigil though, it seems likely she has the means to jump to other dimensions like Vigil can... though I imagine her method of doing so is probably a hell of a lot more crude and probably very dangerous for her, as it certainly isn't a power that belongs to Ghost.

This is a great sinister image - I love your take on Vigil in the classic white suit look - nice to see the return of Ghost too - her role here is interesting as the last time we saw her, she seemed a little more heroic! The design of the machine is amazing too - really like the grimy, industrial but also high tech look you have here.

And Vigil looks great. Obviously.

Ghost is certainly an interesting one. I hope to explore her character more in the very near future. She can seem heroic at times, and then at other times be an all out villain O_O. I like to think there is a good reason for that... even if I may or may not know why that is just yet. <_<

I wish I could take credit for the design of the machines (I tend to toss many things created by others together like lego XD) but cheers for saying so. The general theme of Ghost's equipment is that it generally does look old and grimy despite being futuristic. Without saying too much, Ghost is pretty much a dinosaur of her career, but she gets the absolute best out of the seemingly dated tech she uses.

Enough about Ghost though, she is mere cameo in this image! It's all about Vigil, though granted she isn't in the best of spots right now I do admit. It was certainly a great pleasure to use the original white suited Vigil again! Whatever comes of this situation I'm sure the heroine will bounce right back after this! Very glad you like the images!
