Description Art Trade with . She asked that I draw two of her OCs, Gris (the fox with the red cape) and Friar Latrikos. 


In this scene, Latrikos is placing the royal (blood-stained) crown on Gris' head because he is the last living relative of the royal family, and therefore becomes King of the Stonefoxes. 


Even though it's his coronation, I didn't really see this as a joyous event. From what I know about the characters and their storylines, I imagined seeing Gris in this picture as, not a king, but as a matyr. The way how he kneels so stiffly, along with his armlets and sandals (and the bleeding crown), are meant to make him look like he's being put up for execution, and he's too proud (or perhaps brave?) to beg for his life. 


I actually had a lot of fun drawing Friar Latrikos, particularly his bone-foot as well as his paws. I just loved drawing his paws, those gaunt paws with those curved claws and those long skinny arms.


Hope you enjoy this, Snowstoat!

Thank you!

 

Well, right now requests are on hold, but... well, since I'm intrigued as to what you have in mind, send me a note and then we'll see.

Your welcome!


Okay, it's sorta a vision in my fanfic of things to come.  I was wondering if you could make a pic of Urchin of the riding stars from Mistmantle wearing Martin the Warrior's armor, with the helmet off of course and holding Martin's sword and shield!

Heh, I said to tell me about it in a note! Ah, oh well. But anyway, that does sound interesting, but I don't know... maybe, maybe not. We'll see.

Looks great. Thank you very much.


It's true that Gris didn't seem very happy when he was named king in the book. But then again, during the whole book he never even smiles.

He did take it very seriously, though. 



I'm sorry I don't have my part yet.

Maybe next week.

Yaaay! Your welcome! I'm so glad you like it!

 

Oh good, I'm glad I was able to guess correctly how the characters would act in this scene (and for some reason I absolutely love how Gris never smiles; I don't know why, it just does ).

 

That's okay, I understand. In fact, I actually prefer it when, during art trades, that I upload my end of the trade first, because I have a total fear of being late on a trade.

 

But yeah, take all the time you need. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

Being king seems not to be what it's cracked up to be...?
