destruction-contruction

This is drawn for the scene in Thief 2: The Metal Age from the mission: Eavesdropping. Garrett has to overhear a conversation between Karras (on the left) and Sheriff Truart (the guy with beard). One does not see what happends inside the church, one just can hear it. So I felt free to add my char Nehema in it, who realises in this scene that Karras had totally gone mad. And there is no way to stop him. On the right side you see the masked Servant with the deadly rustgas.

(mhhh... somethings wrog with the face, but could not figure out what -_-)

For the interested ones, I copied you the conversation here:

Karras: Behold, Sheriff Truart! From the lowly street rot emerges the
loyal worker. That which I call...the Servant.
Truart: THIS is one of the tramps I delivered to you? The
transformation is spectacular!
Karras: And neither want nor worry has he.
Truart: Lucky fellow! Strange you should mention worries,
Karras...because I do have one. It's not that the money's not
right, no...it's just that I need to be convinced you've taken
the proper precautions. The Truart name is untainted by
scandal, and I will not be the one to bring it humiliation and
ruin.
Karras: Trust thee in me, for 'tis The Builder Himself who guides me.
And the baron...need never know.
Truart: Yes...I'm glad your Builder guides you, but it would make
me feel even more confident if you were to let me in on
your...WHOLE scheme. Come now! What's the crux of it all, eh
Karras? Show me what's so special about your new Servants.
Karras: Ehm...'tis impossible to hide anything from YOU, good Sheriff.
I will give thee full explanation then in the form of...a
demonstration. The visual in this instance would far surpass
any...verbal elaborations I could relate. But, I must ask thee
to step away from the masked servant. That's right. And
meanwhile, I will retrieve our...volunteer. A most unfortunate
guttersnipe who waits just outside.

Karras: Come, come, gentle beggar. And stand ye JUST there, next to
the masked man. Yes. Now, all is in readiness, so keep thine
eyes on the new arrival, whilst I signal the Servant...thusly.
Truart: My word! The mask emits a red vapour!
Woman(screams): Uh! Please, no! Help!
Karras: Continue thy observations, Truart.
Truart: But it consumes them! We're in peril!
Karras: Fear thee not, stout Sheriff, for we are safe at this
distance! See? Already the reaction ceases.

Truart: They're gone! And what remains in their stead? Sand?
No...RUST!
Karras: Indeed, 'tis very much like rust, and harmless once settled.
Brother Feegan, I pray thee, do sweep up...what is left of
those two.
Feegan: Yes.
Truart: A weapon then! Quite fantastic! And...monstrous! Of course,
you'll keep these Servants you're making away from me and my
men?
Karras: Thou need not even ask!

Karras, Truart and the Servants are from Thief2.
