Description Something had caught Mercury's attention, she wasn't in the lush green country side anymore not where the mountains loomed above you, here the land had been cleared, flattened even, and there were multiple two legged creatures she had seen before bustling around. A horse in the city must've been an odd sight, as she recieved many incredulous stares. Yes a cavitto in the city, stealing all the attention, what drew more attention was her horns as people had never seen such a thing. Around her children cried in delight as they saw their favourite fantasized pony become reality. Mercury had to ignore the chatter and move through the streets. Cars stopped as she made the congested infrastructure even more crowded. She was going somewhere and nothing was stopping her. Finally she stopped in front of a gate, she could smell various different animals inside the zoo, some where equines like her, but short and had odd stripes all over, the other ponies were even smaller almost tiny if you could call them that, they dwelled in large pens where the young humans pet them. What is this place.. Mercury wondered, glancing up at the sign that read "Z-O-O." She walked past the clerk who must've been having a bad day, and then an even worse day when he realized he was being bossed around by a horse. The Mare trotted around in stone paved paths until she found what she was looking for, a fairly decent enclosure with many trees and bushes, a stream ran nearby. Down into the gloomy jungle like scene Mercury went, Maybe she's not here.. Mercury thought. Just as she looked around again, a dash of orange and black zoomed by. Eh, nevermind.

So we meet again, friend chuffed a voice that was lying on a fallen log, acting as a bridge.
Yes, it is so good to finally see you again Mercury replied it had been a long time since she last talked to her guardian, she couldn't even recollect if it had a name, or what it was.
It must be, but I wonder, what exactly are you doing in my enclosure? came the last remark of the tiger.



AND another short/ish story xD Mercury got her guardian, which is a Tiger and she also got her jewels (which I believe I cannot draw/ nor do I have any ideas on jewelry xD) plus the tiger guardian gives her the stripes too so... xD

Funny I was going to put a little drawing about how I draw xD (or I was thinking about it at least ) its basically all about the lighting for me I guess, nothing else really xD (except for the effort and stuff o3o)

nice lol I love to see it. I working on my backgrounds and getting my subjects to look like they are part of it, not placed on top of it. So may I ask how you do that? background and your cavitto and tiger being part of the background instead on pasted on top?

Uhm, for that I guess the colours should really compliment each other (for example the tiger and the trees and ground are a brownish orangish tannish shade, and the rocks go with Mercury's coat) and then you would need some colours that would make it a bit saturated? (is that the correct word? )like the water and the background trees, and then make a new layer and outline the background trees with a lighter colour with an airbrush lol LONG comment xD
