Description My OC Aster with his sister Aelita. Under Aster's anger, smug attitude and crazed toothy grin is a tired and fragile lombax - and Aelita is the only one that can comfort him and/or calm him down. In the story I have cooking, Aelita isn't around anymore and without her Aster is pretty much devolving and it leads to situations like this -> [link]

So yeah, Aster is pretty much miserable. Poor guy. :c

WOO, NOISE FILTER!

My god the anatomy was a bitch too do since I've never really drawn back views before, though I'm super proud of how his head turned out... well, more surprised than anything. ಠ_ಠ

Enjoy!

This is a really sweet moment. I like Aelita's expression, and the noise filter adds good atmosphere to the piece.

The noise filter was just a last minute tinker that thankfully worked.

I remember seeing her in 's sketch dump

Pretty nice job with the with the perception n the emotion. Aelita looks like she really wants her big brother (i'm assuming he's older) to smile again (or smirk, whatever he does)...

I would tug his ears but i don't think he needs that right now

It was the original sketch of this that made kitten suddenly glee and draw her in the sketch dump.

Yes Aster is her older brother.

I just want to give him a hug right now :C

Anyway, I think you did a good job with the position and the back view :3

Terribly sad, and horrid, and emotional - but also nice, seeing them together. Good work!

Yay, very emotional. Like it very much, Aster's finally calmed down

I think it did turn out really well. The hunched position looks really nicely done. The curves and shapes look real and... well, not relaxed, but maybe tensely drawn.

*gives Aster hugs* Poor guy. :[

He's one messed up guy. :c He needs all the hugs he can get.

He is very tense. I'm glad I got that across.
