Not only we have to deal with the crisis, in the Fantasy World it's not much different...
This drawing is made with Indian ink, using a pen and brush (for washed ink).
I used some references for the pose of both the warriors, the warriors design and the rest are own design.
The small version doesn't really show the lines, so please see the high resolution version. (5 years and 2953 days ago)
Being a bounty hunter is not easy. Sandy Clowes can tell you about it, because she is one of them. Although you live for the danger and excitement, it's also a lonely and exhausting life. In the end you can't trust anyone...
But ok, after all these years she's kind of used to it, the people, the threats, etcetera.
Until this last Christmas, which normally is her only time of hope and peace. Because it was Santa himself who refused to give poor Sandy a nice pressie for the holidays for the reason that (I quote) "she was not much of a nice and even a naughty lady"! Said Santa!! Who does he think he is and talking to?! Isn't this girl also just some mother's daughter?...
So yeah, then something snapped in Sandy's head and made herself a new hunter assignment. Wanted: Santa Claus!
It's personal now, you know?!
This entry is 100% drawn in ARTRAGE. The program is some simplified Photoshop where the focus is on drawing and painting. It's a pretty nice program, especially when you're used to the old fashioned way of drawing and painting; the brushes can make a same certain effect. However, many other options (like masking, advanced transform and more handy things from PS) are missing.
For this entry I used some references. Check the SBS how they're used (nothing is traced).
Needless to say that this entry should be submitted a month ago. Time wasn't with me though, and I didn't want to wait another year before I could upload this image.
Before I forget:
****must be seen in High Resolution****
Otherwise you can't see Sandy's tongue touching her upper lip...
Thanks for reading all this. (5 years and 3255 days ago)
Hitch hiker's handbook tip 42: In case you see a warning sign saying that you're about to enter an area where some unknown hostile tribe lives who were so unfortunate to get a curse some centuries ago...then do NOT ignore that warning!
Only source image and photoshop. For the guy in front I looked at 2 references (one to see how a body looks like, other to see how a lifted arm would behave). See SBS how things are done. Please do not forget to check the High Resolution version before you vote.
Thanks.
Edit: improved some spaceranger issues :-) & softened some edges here and there (5 years and 3674 days ago)

. Fav immediately and high marks. But, let me give some strict critiques (even though I consider it's a kind of perfect entry). In perspective, the positions of her legs are not much different (the right one is a bit closer to us) but, to me, their proportions are different considerably, the right boot is quite longer. About Santa's "poster", seems like the piece in her hand is from the one on the wall, but I can't find they're fitted together (just if my presumption is correct). About lighting, definitely you used a complex lighting mode, with the strongest direct light from her back, but the light comes from her front is not very well managed when we consider the shadows. Base on the shadow on the bottom of the picture in her hand, the light comes from her front but lower than her hand, base on the shadow under her skirt, the light come from the position higher than her skirt. So, the front light is from somewhere as high as her belly! From that conclusion, you need more shadows, such as the shadow of the picture on her left arm, some shadows on the other side of the gun, etc. And the most important thing is her second shadow on her back, which is not as dark as the main shadow, but should be more convincing.
. You'll get one more first place for sure, even among the top work of the site 
Very nice work, High score I am sure a lot of time went into this one
amazing!
wonderful drawing , why no color ?? but a great piece of work .
genial
Way to go Waz !!! congrats good skills on didsplay .
Thanks for the comments.
@Eladine: you're right about the time.
@Glockman: I assume you mean real colors and not the brownish colors before the brightness correction. Point is, I (still) have no coloring pencils, crayons or paint (I was happy already with the ink...) and there wasnt enough time to get & experiment with it. Perhaps if I ever go for another traditional drawing I might use more colors (I do think it would have made this drawing more "readable" ).
Thanks again.
great work
congratulations on the well deserved first place 
Edit: Corrected the misspelled
Congrats Waz, fine work indeed!!
Congrats Wazi
absolutely awesome work 
Wow, wow, you're back, I was surprised to see your name again. Seems like Warrior themes are attractive to you
. The details you put into this work is really awesome but still unique as your style. I don't see the brown shades clearly, so this work is almost a lineart IMO. Congrats on your win, really well deserved!
Nice Job Congrats on First Place Win
Howdie stranger!
