Slayers Battle in the North

First up, this was done as a gift for regular yearly benefactor ECNozmo, hope you're keeping well in these times, mate. Normally I indulge the chap with the Dirty Pair lovely angels. This year I thought I'd try something new and have a go at another anime that seems to have caught his eye. I hope you like this one, buddy, and many thanks for your support over all these years!

This one is a 3-way tribute, 4 or 5 way if you count the Frazetta \ Bisley influence. Asides from Slayers and a certain thrash metal band, their posture was based on the front cover to Battles of the North, one of Immortal's best albums, and one of my favourite bands.

Slayers and the characters by Hajime Kanzaka and Rui Araizumi. Art by me. Painted in Clipstudio with textures from personal stock. Some mild revisions may incur in the future.

Be sure to keep your eye on my official website important bits and bobs to come!
