Description An illustration from my story, linked below. Ras returns to his home after an extended time away due to his failing health, only to find it overrun with refugees and abandoned children begging on the street. He's outraged that the city is not taking care of the orphans, and outraged at the seeming indifference of his people. Β He decides to take one of the urchins, known on the streets as Whimpers, to his parents.Β 

Naturally, chaos ensues because of this decision. Also, on the lighter side of the equation, adorableness.

Aww well I can definitely see the "adorableness" side here! Β Great job on the characters' poses and the interaction between them. Β The colouring is lovely too, I especially like those little white lines you use to bring out the lighting!

oh! I just realized you uploaded some of your writing...I'll have to take a look this evening . But I wanted to pop by and say what a great piece this illustration is!Β  Lovely colors, great emotion and character. I really love how your story seems to have such strong social and political themes.

Hah, that would be awesome, I love sharing my writing. Β I tried to put together an alien civilization that was believable, different, but still with a lot of emotional similarities to mankind. I also thought it was important to expose the characters' stories before they get into a war with mankind (no spoilers there, that's what the novels are about.) I just enjoy writing people, human or otherwise, and showing them at both their best and their worst. It's nice to do an illustration showing the characters who are normally fairly decent people getting the chance to express it. Β

Such a cute sceeeene I'm so glad you took the time to draw it out. Little Whimpers there is adorable. Vorambi kids are the cutest, as you always used to say and were always right. hee.

It's true, though they're like little monkeys for a while, they get into everything. >_o

Thanks! She's cute, but she's also unintentionally extremely destructive in that way that toddlers tend to be. o.O

Thanks so much! I almost didn't do a background, but then I got onto myself for being lazy and went ahead and got back to work. XD
