Kirill's 99 Problems
Kirill's 99 Problems by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

It's a real shame I haven't had the time or excuse to bring Gedeonin out much; he's yet another character created in the spur of the moment but who quickly developed into a fully-rounded personality and a key administrative figure. His slated appearances in the current arc are basically cameos. But, spy games abound in Part II...

This was an experiment in alternative lighting and more casual posture. Sketched, scanned, then retraced in GIMP. I'd originally thought of trying it purely digitally, but as ever, it's probably better I laid the lines by hand. Turned out pretty good, I think.

Dedicated to @GenMarshall; may he get his spy corps sorted out with a minimum of collateral damage. =P

@DaGrandDragonn: Thank :D It was my first shot at noir, and I daresay I impressed myself.

@Warehouse_Rabbit: Aye, it's a random bug that I thought was only a problem on older submissions, but I've run into it myself with the newer users'. I'll keep you posted when it's fixed. C:
