A scene from :iconm-buggie:'s flashback mini-series for our original series "Project Arcana", in which Igor is brought in and put to the test against the Ace Major agents--he is soon afterwards promoted To Ace major agent "Justice" in the story. Good reading. I suggest you DO SOME.

Now, this is the scene where Igor is in a knife battle with Dahlia a.k.a agent "Death". He is described as be generally awkward with the implements but decent, I decided to take the scene one step farther into detail and have him lost his knives after knocking one of dahlias from her hand, and bracing for her fist. Igor is by no means a submissive or tame fighter however I can see him laying back and not giving it his "all" while in a practice session with another agent, giving just how violent he can be in a real situation. Dahlia is basically a female version of igor in physical alterations--note the claws. Hers are shorter though, and while all his teeth fell out and grew back in sharp, only her canines fell out and grew back fang-like. One thing I DON'T think she has that he does, though--is limb and organ regenerative abilities. I dunno, I've never actually asked :iconm-buggie:, I didn't create her, she did. XD; But of course altering the human body to have the abilities takes an extremely tough individual and lots of luck--getting cells to regenerate has the alternative risk of having the whole body slowly fall apart. Igor wasn't the first man to undergo the series of gory surgeries, several others before him were signed into it and forced into it too and most of them met an unfortunate end, and others body parts were irreparably destroyed, limbs falling off as far as to the hips and shoulders, tongues falling out, teeth lost---genetic failure is a very "unpretty" thing.

And we'll all find out that even igors surgeries weren't perfect, and didn't come without paying the painful and lifelong price of deformity.

He's a monster with his empty hand--taking down an armed enemy is tough, but igors ferocity and speed makes every slaughter look almost as easy as simply shooting them down.

Go read "Obsidian" at :iconm-buggie:'s DA shack, and give her some love, arright? <3 We both do so much for the project--we're looking for writer recruits too so if you're interested, note one of us!

Whoo-hoo! I fucking love this illustration. I practically fell off my chair the first time I saw it and it continues to rock with every successive viewing.

And to answer your query: no, Dahlia does not have Igor's regenerative abilities. The process was deemed too risky to perform on such a valuable Major (second Ace, ever, after all), plus she was already a candidate for the high-risk tapetum lucidum surgery that Morgan was guinea pig for.

Also, I love Dahlia's face.

Rock on.

your getting better every time. I think a good reference book for learning how to draw actions scenes is How To Draw The Marvel Way. Your getting better every time keep it up.
:iconkilderok:
I've checked that book out and YEAH! Its DOES help oodles if you're stuck! Also, How To Draw Manga's action themed volume is LOVE if you're in a pinch too. <3
