This was the most important fight of Belinda’s life. It was almost the last of her life. Though she won it cost her dearly, not only because she had to face a former friend and sparing partner turned to the dark side, but the fight was so physically damaging she had to spend months recovering from her injuries. Gorik, of course, survived the fight to later fight Marty, but by the time he faced Marty he was no where near the strength he had here. I had always hoped to get this scene drawn by one of my more artistic friends, but never got around to asking, so obviously it never happened.
It took me a moment to realize that the “marble floor” is actually supposed to be snow…once I figured out that the missing pieces were supposed to be footprints, I got it. I guess the “marble” on top of the tree stumps/boulders would be a good clue too…
