| For The Hounds |
Added 2020-12-11 08:42:55 +0000 UTCThe hounds had caught a scent, something familiar yet foreign. They'd tracked it's path on nimble feet, their master following close behind, his weapon gripped tight in a leather clad fist.
His other hand extended to clear away the branches blocking the way, focussed on keeping his flock in line, which seemed to grow more and more feral by the minute. The dogs we're frothing at this point, growling at what lay curled up at the base of a hawthorn bush.
He stared at the creature, obviously feminine and trembling from fright, her eyes darting between the pack of hounds and its leader.

Man I looove painting nature!!! I've never done branches this way so that was super neat to try out (As well as kinda nerve wracking) This was an idea I'd had in my head since summer and I'm just really happy to have finally gotten to it!
I hope you like the little story, I wanna keep it up to the viewer to decide on what happens next, altho I wouldn't be oppossed to drawing up some more for this lost sheepy Max & hunter Rick!
Also this painting irl is really big (A4 is big for me), so big in fact that the dpi that I usually scan things at made the file too big to edit on my computer so I had to scan at a lower dpi. Sorry if it's really grainy, I might rescan it later and try to make it work somehow! But for now I just really wanted to post it because I'm pretty happy with it!
Enjoy ;3

2020-12-12 21:53:19 +0000 UTCYeah you can totally tell the dynamic between the two characters, with her curled up, and Rick with this power pose. It's great!
2020-12-11 18:44:03 +0000 UTCI love this. It's beautiful. What more is there to say? I'm in love!
2020-12-11 18:43:19 +0000 UTCThank you, lil creature Max was such a fun lil challenge ππ
2020-12-11 16:31:14 +0000 UTCLove the little story, love the branches and the berries, the colors, the dogs and ah the little creature π
2020-12-11 15:52:55 +0000 UTCOh man yea I do love a lil bit of power dynamic between the characters I draw, thatβs such a must for hunter Rick in any setting really and Iβm happy the emotion is easy to read but hopefully not too overt! And ofc thank you for your honest thoughts Sam!! Iβll probably end up rescanning it and just testing out the size limits I can go to with this one, but Iβll probably leave that till a later date!
2020-12-11 14:38:19 +0000 UTCThis is wonderful. Again you are spot on with depicting emotion, both faces are so easy to read. You know I love everything you make but I really like this one. The power dynamic is delicious and the colors are gorgeous. Also re: the scanning thing, it definitely isnβt as crisp as normal but it isnβt hard to read bc of that. a rescan might be nice but you shouldnt break your back over it

2020-12-11 09:33:50 +0000 UTCThis is so gorgeous! It feels like it would be hanging in some ancient hunting manor telling tales of the hunts of the old days. I love it so much πβ€οΈ
