Description Contest Entry for Whisperspirit , two of her FCs, Diren and Aspen. Contest journal: fav.me/d7w8nn7
...Speed lines, or squiggly grass! Ya gotta love the squiggly grass. There's a fine line between making grass look realistic and just scribbling all over the paper (I'm obviously in the latter category..).
Aside from that, I was going for a sort of comic book/noir look with this one, which came out kinda strange with all that.. grass. :/ Everyone get lost in the grass..
Other things I struggled with include: cloth folds, PERSPECTIVE!, character accuracy, and drawing a decent tree. Without leaves.
Speaking of character accuracy... I'm aware, Whisperspirit, that Aspen wears a scarf, not a cape, but I became aware of that a little too late.

Oh my god! It's amazing! I love how you only colored their hair! The rest of the work is stunning as well! I don't think I'd have the patience to ink all that. I love the movement in Diren's form as well as his Kunai and Aspen's cloth. It's very well done! And don't worry about the whole scarf thing, you actually got pretty close to how it looks from behind. The cloth is just tied off at the side is all and flatter against his back. Redardless, it still looks amazing! I think Aspen is about to get really pissed. It looks like the Kunai shaved off a little of his luxurious mane. XD

Thank you so much for participating! ;w;

Thanks so much! Glad it's to your liking
I didn't think I'd have the patience to ink it either and ended up dividing the work over some days, leaving the grass for last. And then fatigue set in, which is why it looks so crummy :/ I'm relieved the scarf looks ok, though!
