and i'll flourish long after you're gone

- All that you are is a face in the mirror, I'd close my eyes and you'd disappear.
- I'm what you face when you face in the mirror, as long as you live I will still be here!

So y'all remember that animatic I did of Vertigo? No? That's okay, I'll post a link here. Anyway, the point is, I turned my favorite frame into a full drawing and it took way too long but now I can kinda draw lava which is neat I guess. And I also may or may not have entirely redesigned Vertigo's armor and helmet just for this one drawing. 
 

Also, in case I didn't show it properly, Artemis and Vertigo are the same person. It's kind of like a split personality, but not entirely, I guess it's more like a left-brain, right-brain thing except they're both sociopaths. I tried to show it through small details, but, of course, small details are small and you probably wouldn't notice them unless you were looking for them. 

Also also, they got their own personal Hell because they're so dangerous (at least in my mind. the actual story ends before that so it's anyone's guess what, if anything, happens after they die). Artemis went from absolutely nothing to, well, Vertigo, and Vertigo basically conquered the world. 

I actually finished this at 1 am last night but I decided to sleep and post it in the morning. And now that this is off my to-do list, I'll stop posting MS art for a while and go back to Wings of Fire. Unless I decided to make an updated reference sheet for Vertigo because the old one is stinky and not entirely accurate anymore (Jesus, that was fast, I just made it like a month ago).
