Drow v. Mind Flayer WIP preview

It Friday and I'm in a show and tell kinda mood.

SOOOOOOOO here's the current monochrome underpainting WIP of my entry for next week's ArtOrder challenge entry.

I'm an Eberron nut, so I decided to go with a Xen'drik drow for my heroine, trying to stop a group of tentacled servants of Xoriat from letting something out into the world. Nothing against traditional underdark Drow, but I find the Eberron variety more visually interesting.

And just to help with what's going on with the figures, here's the drawing of the two lead dancers in this performance:

Have a good weekend everyone :)
