Today I finally completed The Flower and the Flame!
What can I say... This DLC did for me what the previous one failed to do - it made me LIKE the main character. While it was quite fun to crush skulls as Benny, I never could bring myself to root for him. Quite the opposite with Ysabella. During the main game, I was rather indifferent towards her; she only irritated me sometimes while she babbled through her set of TVs. But now? I think she's great. While she's still not in my top three (that goes to Phyre, Mrs. Thorn, and Safia), I see her as an incredibly fun character.
So, while I'm not replaying Loose Cannon, I think I'll come back to The Flower and the Flame sometime in the future. It definitely deserves it.
I made two versions - one is consistent with my style (using mostly pen and ink, using digital tools just to add deeper shadows and small spots of colour), and the other is something more experimental. At first, I tried to use a pen to darken her skin, but the effect was not that good; so I decided to leave it as it is, and made a second file with digitally added skin tone. Tell me what you think of it.
