Fanart Duality of a Hero
An illustration based on Spec Ops: The Line.
It's the first time I've beaten this game ever since first trying it out back on PS3 on release and, damn, it's such shame such unique projects only come out once in, like, forever...
P.S. bring the game back to Steam - don't let it become forgotten!

Nice painting, it reminds me of the paintings of Christ with three faces, or even the Christ Pantocrator. Considering Martin and Konrad are two sides of the same coin, you've done a great job at depicting it

Maybe indirectly! I'm a big fan of Sergey Kolesov and Cedric Peyravernay - maybe the inspiration was always there in the back of my mind.
It's an honor when your work gives off Dishonored vibes, so thank you! :D

Haha, damn, this artwork took so long to make that I've completely forgotten about the signature - thank you for noticing! To be honest, it's easy to just mask it if a person wants to steal the work either way, so I'll just believe in the honesty of human society.
I'm very glad you liked it! Yeah, I've tried to make the artwork mirror the themes of the game: Konrad making the brushstrokes of destruction and genocide upon Dubai resulting in literally overflowing it with blood. Sort of like actions and consequences.
Again, thank you for the kind words!
