Ascender Issue 1 Page 8.

I'll just cut/paste the comment from the previous owner:

In this sequence, Mother, one of the most powerful and sinister figures in the series, uses her magical abilities to extract vital information from General Nara about Mila, the key to the conflict. This page is a critical moment in the Ascender narrative, where the fate of Mila, the daughter of Andy (from Descender), becomes the centerpiece of the battle between magic and rebellion. The interrogation scene is intense and cold, highlighting Mother’s ruthless and determined nature as she seeks control.

Nguyen’s strong visuals and immersive storytelling elevate this page, blending action with deep emotional gravity. This page is a stunning showcase of Dustin's signature watercolor technique, bringing a heightened sense of emotion and atmosphere to the harrowing scene. The dynamic use of color and the soft washes in the background perfectly complement the tension and high stakes of the moment.
