Just before this art was commissioned, I got a suggestion from Diana Hold to try some “Senshi in motion”. This was the first attempt at trying out “attacks”. Plus, the second incorporation of animals, in the series.

This was a very rewarding piece for me, especially seen large. I thought the attack effect was nice, using some distortion filters. But this was voted the least popular on my website poll. Can't please everyone...
