Reve Rouille 1: Abalone Diver

Illustration for the first evolution of the Reve Rouille (evolving item at gaiaonline.com)

This item is very heavily story oriented, so I wanted a way to tell the story outside of the item. Hopefully, I can keep up with an illustration for every evo (but time hates me, so don't rely on that XD)

I figured that the idea of using shadow puppets to tell the story would work very nicely in this particular case (besides, I love silhouettes) But more on that choice later!

I also did another version of this that focused more on the characters. See it here. That one was more my original intention but on some suggestions of one of my co-workers I pulled back and made this rather more foreboding wallpaper version.
