Passion Like This

As-of-yet to occur scene for my fanfiction Red Hot, a fic centering on the budding relationship of Ashelin and Torn. (Jak & Daxter series.) As you may have guessed, this is before Ashe gets her Crimson Guard tattoos.

The story takes place in the Wasteland outside of Haven City, Torn being a commander of 23 and Ashe a private of 17. Impressed by Torn but hating it, Ashe shows a lot of open hatred for him, so in return, Torn comes up with a new kind of training, wherein anyone who completes, passes.

A whole week in the Wasteland, led by Torn himself. Ironically, however, even though this test is approved by Baron Praxis, Ashe is the only one of the group who shows to take it on. Everyone else had chickened out. So now Torn and Ashe get to spend a week, alone, in a desert. . .

Background is supposed to be a cave (where they spend their nights) with a fire going. But I hated it so I erased along the edges, trying to give it a faded-out not-important look.
I put a looooot of work into those hands, trying to make the knuckles, creases, and fingernails look right. It's probably what I'm most proud of.
I considered getting rid of the black outlines on Torn's tattoos, but I got lazy so blah.
