Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo | Chapter 27, pgs 374-376
So here is Kaz fighting like a whole gang by himself like an idiot. Or at least part of it- I did not have the stamina to draw him fighting the first six dudes and I really needed to draw the iconic bloody smile at the end (and bloodthirsty Inej). It probably shouldnât have taken like three months but picked a bad time to start it, with family and holidays and getting laid off and job hunting so it was hard to find the time and motivation. Also I picked like the most painful scene in the book to try and draw honestly. Iâm never going to try and draw a fight scene ever again. Or stairs. Or anything. Also for the millionth time i goddamn hate how tumblr shrinks images.
HOLY HELL. This is amazing.
Fwiw, this was one of the most challenging scenes in the book to write, to keep from just being choreography and give emotional weight. Itâs so incredible to see part of it illustrated here.
(And I hope the job hunt is going ok? Do you have a patreon, @cryingmanlytears?)
