Another spot illustration for the Book of Dreyrull. This is for the Barren section, and features a personal character of mine, Bloodsong.
I finally figured out my scanner's setting for colored pencil work. Huzzah! Not near as washed out as the others. I may go back through an rescan. :3 Anyways, tried a bit of perspective with this one - a rarity indeed! I think it worked. References, of coursed, helped massively. Hmm. I think I'm going to put a small excerpt of the section into this one. ------ Raised in captivity, these Aershaa were bred by the men of Obatar; by the organization most widely knows as Com-DoB (the Committee for the Domestication of Bladewolves). But, at long awaited last, an immense number of these Aershaa have broken free, escaping through the underground tunnels into the swamps of Urvaz.Pack-driven and man-hating, not one of these Aershaa has even a hint of the beauty of bonding. No, instead, each one is driven to find a place and purpose to return themselves to the Aershaa world. Bred to be strong, fast, and cunning guardians, the barren are swift on their feet, despite their enormous size. They stand at about the average height of a man - anywhere from 5 1/2 to 6 feet, taking after the ice blood in their veins. Their manes come from their fire ancestors, thus are able to keep warm in the winter, cool in the summer, but unlike fires, they cannot stand the dry heat of a desert. Their build is that of a stone, though with the swift air’s legs, giving them both physical strength and speed. The one serious flaw with the barren, however, is their tailblades. Through the process of hybridizing so many different types of Aershaa, the blades became warped and overly long. Many barren will clip their blades short through forceful means, while others, due to their human raising, don’t have blades at all... ====== Approx.
