Fan Art: Love against Duty, a crisis of conscience Options

[Layrinn]

I spent pretty much all day yesterday working on this pic and finished it up this afternoon. It's my first attempt at capturing a specific emotion... I'd say I did ok. Everything in this pic is original work except for the imported yellowboze .gif and the Cave 1 backdrop. (fear my r33t screen-capture bg. ;p) The scene depicted could probably use a little explanation, so here goes:

The character is Mute's RAmarl, Nikita. It's a little known fact that her status as a Ranger in the Hunter's Guild is merely a smoke screen... in truth, she is an agent employed by a devious organization known as the Sickle & Hammer. (Black Paper's got nothin' on these guys. =/) Nikita is ruthlessly efficient, having never failed a mission. So when her superiors gave her an assassination assignment, they had no reason to doubt her success. But this time, the target was someone she had grown very close to. (I'll let you all guess who it was ;p)

Will Love or Duty win this conflict?

Woo, talk about a blast from the past. Thanks for the compliments, Chim. ^^

I haven't drawn a thing since the end of October. I haven't had the time, nor the inspiration... which kinda sucks. Hopefully that "Oh, I just gotta draw that" feeling will hit me again someday soon. ;p

Beautiful sentiment, Chibi. ;p It's a good thing Nikita didn't pull that trigger, or else there would be one less booty knight in the world today. -.-;
