Mabel Cadena (asphalt goddess).
“Another keyframe for #blackpanther #wakandaforever, this time #ririwilliams dives in to attack #namora,” Saunders commented along with the images. “The original setting in the scenario was an oil rig, hence the pillars in bkgd. You can see how the helmet should have been shown, with a clean front panel and Riri’s face visible. I really enjoyed drawing the incredible @joshnizzi.art design for Namora, so richly textured and dynamic!”
