For :icongold-seven:

It's finished! YAY! I'm really happy with how this came out. It's my first experimentation with color on black and white surfaces, and I Think they made the picture so much more dynamic. It's the highlights from New York City below them.

I changed the name from Peter vs. Sylar because that seems so comical and light. This picture has a much darker tone to it, and therefore, I went with "Lies and Redemption." For those who keep up with Heroes, "Redemption" is the name of the next volume, in which a confrontation similar to this will probably occur. At the end of season 4, Matt Parkman used his ability to suppress Sylar's memories. With clairesentience (the ability to see an object's past), Sylar had gained Nathan's memories before he killed him. Matt leaves these memories in place, and this causes Sylar to shapeshift into the deceased Nathan and believe that he is in fact, Nathan Petrelli. Angela, Matt, and Noah hide this from the world, including Peter. That is where the "Lies" portion of the title comes from.

In this picture, I imagined Peter getting his final revenge on Sylar, who at this point, has regained his old memories and had been posing as Nathan, and leading Angela, Noah, and Matt to believe nothing was wrong. But, Peter found out. This is a scene from that confrontation. Peter is very conflicted because only moments before, this was his brother.

When I first started the piece, I knew Peter would be holding Sylar by the tie (which is actually Nathan's iconic red tie). However, the thought that the tie was kind of Nathan's symbol didn't hit me until *Gold-Seven pointed it out in one of the unfinished versions.

As for Sylar, his pose is relaxed. He doesn't see Peter as much of a threat at this point. He is also smirking. He enjoys toying with poor Peter's mind.

I like this!
When you pointed out the tie I liked it even more. You could kind of look at this symbolically. Peter is holding onto the tie, which is Nathans "iconic tie" meaning that he is holding onto the bit of Nathan, even though it is Sylar... Really cool

I can't wait for the next season myself. <3

Thanks! ^-^ So glad you like it! I can't wait for next season, either. I'm hoping for the resurrection of Nathan Petrelli! It's not the same without him! :cries:

I looooooooove it! Wow, that's so good! I love the city lights, and Sylar looks so smug! Good Job.

I was looking around on a forum one some random Sci Fi place, and on my favourite Heroes one, I found this message:

"Who is that nice-random-heroes-paire-addict who said she likened herself to a Teletubby?"

It was me.

:D Thanks! ^-^ The city took FOREVER. Not to draw, but to decide how to do it. It's a photograph. I kept trying to have Painter do different effects to it, but each different look didn't have the right feel. The characters were too sharp to have a background that wasn't sharp. So, I left the picture as it was. ^-^

I miss Nathan! He had so much unfinished business too!

Any idea what the date is for the next season? -Can't wait!-

Holy crap, is the city a photo? I like how you integrate drawing and photography together. The colored version only makes the creepy Sylar eyes even more creepy, and I love the emotion on Peter's face!

Sanity?
What would I do with something as useless as that?
Lucky for me, I never had such a thing.
:crazy:
:icontexas-guard-chic:
Yup. City = Photo.
