Description Ho boy, I got some explaining to do with this one... 

Last old sketch I'll upload today. This is from September 2014, an extremely rough sketch of prince Armand and Alys going for a dragoturkey ride. This was based on a chapter from my 'Blank Canvas ' fic before it was removed during the revision of the fic in 2015.

To keep it short; Armand literally bumps into Alys after she had a freak out in the Dofus chamber and being unaware of the occurrence, he wrongfully assumes she was hiding from the overbearing servants Renate and Canar. Guessing she was trying to dodge her responsibilities like he was doing (royal duties, ew), Armand drags Alys with him to go dragoturkey riding and blow off some steam while taking some well needed time away from the palace. 

Due to this chapter's happenings, people believed Armand was taking Alys on a date and some began shipping the two together, completely misinterpreting what I was trying to do with that chapter (have them bond a little, build up some trust to then have it be shattered by the whole Qilby betrayal thing; character development, weeeh). I then realized I wasn't staying true to Armand's character with him being nice and open to Alys and to fix that mistake (and to also avoid further Double A shipping), I removed the chapter and completely rewrote it. Dragoturkey ride: gone. Armand continued to be a temperamental jerk in my fics, with a certain prejudice towards Eliatropes because Eliatrope-related stuff sure likes to beat Sadida up for some reason. 

I really wanted to finish this sketch back then but the realization of how much I screwed up with Armand had me lay this sketch aside and not touch it again. I still like it so here it is in all its roughness! It's so rough that Alys is missing both her arms!



Update: Uploaded the chapter as a short story
Blank Canvas *old content*: Responsibilities
Disclaimer: This short story is derived from a deleted chapter of my ‘Blank Canvas’ fan fiction. It is no longer considered canon to my writings but because people are aware of the chapter’s existence before its removal and some wish to read about it, I have given it a small revision to be a stand alone short story instead. Most of the original content is left intact although the beginning (and to some degree the ending) got an overhaul.

Responsibilities
Another nightmare.
Alys looked upon her shaking hands with a ragged breathing while her vision kept going in and out of focus, unable to bring her thoughts back in order. She was uncertain where she was, the fear she couldn’t remember anything only intensifying the quivering of her whole body until she could make out familiar shapes behind her held up hands. Her breathing picked up in pace when the burning desire t

I really do love your sketches Wish! ;;

I have to say, it's a shame that you had to re-write that chapter! It sounds like it would have been an interesting idea, seeing Armand do something that perhaps he wouldn't normally? And Alys kind of being dragged along in the process! xD Xx

Thank you~

I liked the idea (otherwise I wouldn't have written it xD) but I approached it the wrong way and it showed afterwards. The only way to fix it was to completely remove it and go with something which would show Armand's suspicion towards the Eliatropes (and the Eliacube) but also that he only wants what is best for the kingdom while proving his worth because the show didn't really touch on that until the OVA episodes (a ONE SECOND character development ><).
I still have the chapter somewhere because I didn't have the heart to throw it out completely. I might upload it as a separate short story with some adjustments so it isn't lost forever and people cans till have this if they want to.

Haha, her expression though!XD

It's a pity that you've had to rewrite the chapter - Armand could really use some out of character moments. Show us a better side of him once in a while.

The face of terror when you aren't the one driving and the seatbelts don't feel like they are enough to keep you safe.

He isn't always a jerk; I believe him to be misunderstood as all he wants is to impress the people he looks up to but he does ruin it for himself with acting so rash, rough and spoiled and I do try and bring this forward in my writing. But that deleted chapter made Armand look like a completely different character and that aint right. I wish I had noticed that sooner...

Hehehehehe... I shouldn't be laughing...

Um... he's basically a jerk, but only because he didn't learn to be anything else..?

I wouldn't say that. Armand has a temper which clouds his judgement and steers his actions. He is capable of caring for people but we hardly get to see it other than his father mentioning it but the care is still there under the douchebag exterior. He wants to be recognized, he wants to be respected, he wants to get that comforting pat on the shoulder and his father telling him he is proud of him, but he is obviously not getting what he wants and this only makes him more bitter. 
I think his incapability to not let his negative thoughts and ego get the best of him is what prevents him for stop being such a jerk. He was apparently fairly tolerable before his mother died.

Oh! Huh.... his mother died.. yeah... how come I didn't even rake that into consideration...?


Also, all that, and he should get his teeth checked...

His mother was really loved by the people and the actual queen (the ruling force) of Sadida. His father was a renowned warrior known for his strength until he got married, became a father and also grew older; now he is a gentle giant but adored by the people. His sister is slowly gaining the favor of the people and is destined to follow their mother's footsteps and become queen. Armand is.... uuh... he doesn't have much going for him other than being born into royalty >.>
