Backer Kalt submitted a few ideas, a couple of which had blade dancers defending someone, and I worked up an illustration based on his ideas. My favorite detail he included was that the blade dancer had a golem with swords for arms. I imagine them just shredding everything in sight!
This is a really great action shot. One of my favorite small details is the plumed helmet on the kneeling warrior.
Nice work mate. That Efreet looks like its not going to go down easily.
I like the bladedancer’s stance - stylized like a Asian temple dancer.
