Description "So.. My Dad really used to drink these?"
"Yes, quite frequently actually"
"Smells sweet..."
"It's flavored off a human fruit from earth, though I've never gotten to taste the original myself. Apparently it wasn't a very good duplication."
"..It tastes like cough syrup..."


"*Shakes fingers furiously at tablet until something appears*
I have had the worst bout of art block in years recently, this is the first real picture I have managed to pull together in the last month.

For those whom haven't guessed already, the little trouble maker I posted in a sketch dump a few months back is Enya's son. If the third eye isn't a clue, I'm rather certain you'll all be able to put together whom his Father is rather easily. 
This little punk to be precise so folks don't have to track him down:   

Sye is a handful to put it lightly, always moving and constantly finding new ways to get into trouble. Given Enya is blind by the time she is pregnant with this little mischief maker, through some rather unfortunate events, it is a wonder he hasn't gotten himself killed already. She does her best to keep him in line, but times were tough and some things fell to the back burner that perhaps shouldn't of. 

For those whom might of noticed already, yes, that is Alma and yes he is wearing a dress. Enya and Sye become Almaca's adoptive family off of his home planet. The boy traveling and growing up with them through the years, eventually becoming a  son and brother for the pair. As for his attire, due to some anatomy differences, when Alma first came to reside with them, Enya incorrectly assumed that Alma was female and dressed him as such. Alma never really minded, even when he is older he isn't embarrassed of the fact. Probably found the dresses and skirts more comfortable then some things he might of had to wear in the future years.

Thank you!! It was definitely a fun thing to toy with!

Not sure if you're just saying that or really want to know but I'ma put the same thing I gave Skarita as well. Hope you don't mind!

Basically I found a free stock pattern for the window's design on google, and redrew it so that I could better implement it. As for the coloring  I went through on a separate layer then the other background pieces, and put in the yellow/orange hues I wanted. I added a luminosity layer about 25%-40% of a bright whitish yellow to add a bit more of a glow. Taking the just color layer of the stained glass I duplicated it and adjusted the color to a more red spectrum and placed it under the original coloring. Taking my airbrush on an 'erase' setting in Sai I skimmed over it on the top portion of the window to give it the fading to red effect that it has. After that it was just adding a small amount of shading around it to really make it pop! 

I am definitely trying to keep a better eye on my color pallets right now, so thank you! I'm thrilled that it paid off

Wow, this is gorgeous! The window is probably my favourite part, it's so large and bright and it's just beautiful~ The lighting it casts is also lovely, it looks so warm and comfy in there~ And what an adorable family, gooshness, I wish them happiness ;u;

Oh I know!! I wish I had a place like it that I could curl up in, for some reason orange/yellow hues just scream homey to me.

It's something I've been hinting at for a rather long while  but never truly publicly announced till now. Got tired of not sharing lol. 

Alma looks fabulous in dat dress yes he do, not to far off from a tunic really so he couldn't mind any less about the whole thing.
