Last Stand at The Assassin's Den

Morgana the Assassin takes a quick break after cleaning up the mess she made with the last assassin. She knows in her heart she'll have to find a new safe house, which sucks as this was the closest thing she had as a home for many, many years.

She rarely gets such good opponents and the woman who came at her in the dark was good. She respected her, even if they are working for Lord Farfelgan, whose rapist son she had murdered for the brother of the younger Farfelgan's most recent victim.

She rests, but only briefly for as she looks over the spoils of her battle with her honored opponent, she already senses the woman's partner skulking in the dark. She prepares, looking in repose but poised to strike. She thinks to herself, I've got to find a new place to hide.

I had a better story, but a computer user glitch (ie, I goofed) erased it. Oops.....


It was a daytime background, but about the best I knew to do is play with the brightness, contrast and hue, use a fog texture, and then an airbrush a paler hue for moonlight. It's not perfect, but I got it as good as I think I can. At one time, I also had a layer showing the bloody aftermath of the Assassin's first opponent to post it over at DA Morgue's Bloodsoaked month, but given the recent events in Orlando, I decided to remove it.

I hope you enjoy this work.
