Okay. How do I even begin to explain? XD

This is an idea of something that occurs more toward the end of the third story. Really, it's more symbollic than anything. I don't want to get TOO into it (I'm not ready to spoil things), but you can probably get a general idea. I'll let you interpret for yourselves. XD

Kelenco looks pleased... as usual. >_>; *SHOT*

Originally started as a sketch... I was going to leave it as such, but I remembered the blending stubs I'd bought recently, and decided I'd put them to use. I hadn't done a good pencil drawing in ages.

Things I was painfully reminded of during the process:

1.) No matter WHERE I start drawing, I ALWAYS end up with a layer of lead on the side of my hand. ALWAYS.

2.) Feet are a pain in the ass to draw. Even though a lot of my characters only have three toes on each foot, it's STILL a bitch to draw.

3.) I came to realize (again) why I never really drew wings in more intricate pictures very often. Wings are either painfully simple, or painfully detailed. There's no working around it; that's the only way to make them look decent.

4.) I cannot draw straight lines. I think I can, but just when I let my guard down, I realize that SURPRISE! It's not. I suppose it's this exact reason why rulers and straightedges were invented. XD *SHOT*

5.) Mechanical pencils are all fine and dandy until you have to reload. And I had to reload my lead THREE times.

...that's a lot of lead. >_< *SHOT*

Wow.. so this was all done in pencil?! D: Even the BG? Very nice.

1) That always happens to me, which is why my drawing becomes quite smeared at the end.

2) I can't draw feet/hands in general. I have to stare at my hands again. @_@

4) Straight lines are hard... which is also why my drawings are always somewhat crooked.

5) The only thing I don't like about mechanical is that the lead snaps.. I use 0.7 ~ 0.9 now, but. XD;

But you have to admit that you did an Amazing job here Chris! It is impressive how it looks. Very nice details on the wings and the shading ;) . I love it! :+fav:

1.- Hmmm, true. Lead will be always in the hand, but still, you have to be drawing, and then re-touch it...mh, lovely vicious circle. Althought that many have reccommended that you "paste" the sheet (to where you work), or use gloves, it will still becomes either, smeared by touch or smudged by slight friction.

2.- Well, it's hard to draw either hands or feet in general (...how i have problems to do those...); guess it's just matter of constant practicing.

Numbuh 3 was answered already heh :D

4.- Neither can I draw really straight lines, that's the reason of why my pencil drawings and sketches look so...rough, i do them marking more than one line, so together they "emulate" being a straight line...:D (in the end, they try, but are NOT :XD: )

XD Yeah, the lead snaps quite often for me too. Luckily, it didn't happen when I was doing this pic though. >_>

And yep, even the BG. :D The most I did was darken it up a little in PaintShopPro.

Thanks for looking! :3

Thanks so much. :D Yeah, even if one were to wear gloves, it would still smear. Plus, I can't hold a pencil very well with a glove on, personally. XD
