Description Featuring: Starling and three NPCs
Autmn, Year 752 of the New Age
Windborne, Silver Vale

Picture to go with this little story - Love WarriorWhen Starling came into his first rut, he didn’t really go out looking for a doe. He always had been tall and sturdy and to be honest, he enjoyed wrestling and trying his strengths with the other young bucks a lot more, than his mind was on does.
He knew, his parents secretly had hoped he would find his one doe in his first rut, his one doe that his mother was to his father, his one doe that would keep him home, like it had made his mother return home from her travels. Starling, however, knew he had to see the world first, see the world not just through his mother’s stories, but with his own eyes. Make his own stories of adventure and sing his own songs of legends from far away, foreign heroes and gods.
He had promised his parents to wait for his first rut to pass though and Starling kept what he promised, besides that, he really enjoyed the sparring with the other stags to some point, even if he never had been and probably never would be one to quickly pick a fight. On the

And if my darn neighbours won't stop playing the darn same 2 cords on their darn guitar anytime soon, I'll be standing in front of their door like this soon. 8T

Meanwhile Starling is being his Hippie-self, defending another guy's doe, so she can stay with him.
That happens when your mom is a femenist Cape Splinter doe and raises you to respect them ladies, while your dad is a Point Splinter Dude, teaching you to always do what you please, just like the wind.
Result = Hippie. Lol.

The far background is a photo of an eukalyptus wood from goofle. XD

Oh, what an exciting picture! The expression on Starling's face is what first draws you in and really grabs at your interests/attention. His pose is perfect for the mood of the story, and everything you've drawn really blends flawlessly into the background you've chosen- very good choice by the way!

I like your method of coloring and shading as well; even though it's simple, it really pulls the entire image together.

I really like this.

He's totally the hero! ;3

I know that now is a bit of a silly question, but didn't we decide to make a collab with Einin and Starling? I'm not sure now, if I only thaught about it or if we actually talked. Lol.

He'll be Einin's hero~ ;3

Oh, yes we did!
I suppose we could get started on that haha. Was there something particular you wanted to do? Lines vs coloring or something?

Awww, little hero Starling! ;3

I think, we said I'd be doing the lines? Since I happened to find a sketch of these two in my sketchbook which made me remember that we might have planned a collab. Lol. Should I finish them and you do the color? ;3

Oh wie genial das aussieht

Das Problem mit den Nachbarn kenn ich. Bist du schon mal um 2 Uhr nachts von Helene Fischers Atemlos auf voller Lautstärke aus dem Schlaf gerissen worden?

Bitte  

Hach ja, sowas passiert nur, wenn du gegenüber vom JuHa wohnst. Abwechslung gibts hier aber leider keine, es ist immer Helene Fische, immer zwischen 2-4 Uhr und immer Atemlos

Ohmaaan. XD
Mich würde da ja dann echt immer interessieren: Warum?
Mein Gitarrenkünstler hat sich auch gerade wieder die Klampfe geschnappt.
Heute sind's wenigstens schon 3 Akorde. XD

Auldale In reply to DodgerMD [2014-05-16 19:14:44 +0000 UTC]

Ich gehe einfach davon aus, dass zu viel Alkohol konsumiert wurde. Polizei rufen bringt da leider auch nichts, weil nach dem einen Lied wieder Ruhe ist. 
Naja, seid Anfang Jahr führen wir eine Liste, wann und wie lang es zu laut ist und das nächste Mal nehm ich es auch mit meiner Kamera auf. Ist ja nicht so, als wären wir denen nie entgegen gekommen, aber was zu viel ist, ist zuviel. 

Na wenn das so weiter geht, kannst du in ein paar Monaten ein ganzen Lied hören xD 
Wobei ich zugeben muss, ich könnte einen Akkord nicht vom anderen unterscheiden xD

DodgerMD In reply to Auldale [2014-05-18 15:28:37 +0000 UTC]

Das is ne sehr gute Idee, so habt ihr dann wenigstens auch was in der Hand.

Lol, jap, ich freu mich schon drauf. Immer die selben Akkorde is ECHT nervig auf Dauer. XD

Auldale In reply to DodgerMD [2014-05-18 15:37:14 +0000 UTC]

So ist es  

Zu was für einer Melodie entwickelt es sich denn? 
Ich hatte mal einen Kumpel der immer 7 Nation Army von White Stripes gespielt hat und das besteht ja auch nur aus ner Hand voll Akkorde.

DodgerMD In reply to Auldale [2014-05-20 06:30:15 +0000 UTC]

Ich kanns derweil noch nicht genau sagen, eher was jazziges, manchmal hat er wohl auch nen kumpel mit nem bass da, das is auch immer witzig. XD
Wobei ich bei mir im haus sowieso ein paar so kandidaten hab, ein anderer kommt immer irgendwie um 4 in der früh heim, macht das fenster auf, hustet raus und jammert rum, weil er sich anscheinend selbst mit seinem husten nervt. XD

Vielleicht wird es mal was zum relaxen nach der Arbeit. Wäre immerhin etwas positives. Und wenn die Beiden mit ihrer Band berühmt werden, dann kannst du sagen, dass du sie schon live gehört hast xD 
Das ist ja ein komischer Kerl. Vielleicht einfach mal ein paar Hustenbonbons in den Briefkasten werfen?

Oh wow!  I love your background idea, it's so simple and effective!  Mind if I try that sometime?

Also, Starling looks both seriously awesome and completely adorable...at the same time!  You, my good madam, are amazing!  I also love the expressions on the NPC's it really captures their emotions!  

Ooh, and I love the fur shinies, they turned out great on Starling!  You're sense of light and shadow is superb.

Not at all! I got the idea from a friend myself. He's way better in merging them together, though. Lol. XD

Awwww! Thanks soooo much!
I always try to stuff as much emotion into a character's pose and expression as possible. Lol. ;3

Oh, btw, you got the foxglove, didn't you? ;3
