Special collaboration commission for/with Firemaster13!  She drew Riyoko (spitting red flames) and the gesture for Sero (deflecting with blue flames), I refined the sketch for Sero, did a little adjusting of Riyoko’s wings and hands, and then I painted it!  Man, being able to paint flames again has been really fun.  Plus these characters rock, and so do the people who they belong to!  <3
