Description This is a scene recently written in an ongoing Redwall survivor-type contest at: (link no longer works)
It's a great story, and we could use more audience members to discuss the story and vote - must be a busy time of year, but there hasn't been much audience activity lately... except for the contestants dutifully uploading their bits of story.


On to the picture. It's kinda sketchy, but I liked the energy... so I kept it sketchy. And I actually bothered to put a little effort into a background, so that was fun too. Here's the clip of story the picture covers:

Maro climbed onto the sand to claim her chainmail and tunic. “What do you want? What do you think-“

“Is the spear really necessary?” Mercy had interrupted Maro while at the same time holding out the squirrelmaid’s clothes for her.

EDIT: Apologies if this shows up on devWatch... I was just nixing the broken link, as it's a year down the road and the site doesn't exist anymore.

Thanks! I've been working on a landscapish picture off and on for a few days, trying to improve my (somewhat laughable) digital painting skills. The practice helped a little bit when I decided this picture needed a background.

*squirms* I know! I'm enjoying the whole "home for the summer" thing, but at the same time I can't wait for fall...

It's going to be insane.

Backgrounds in digital are so insane! Tricky things, I'm telling you! Tricky!

Nice! I like the sketchy feel to it, kinda like some of the old Disney movies. And you draw the clothing so well, it just hangs perfectly!

I musta done that tunic about a jillion times... it's the equivalent of an undershirt, so I kinda wanted it to look loose and sloppy, especially since it's kinda wet. I'm getting better at cloth, but it still troubles me sometimes. *kicks it*

And I know what ye mean; Robin Hood is one o' those. You can see sketch lines everywhere, but it wasn't bad.

Hehe, yep, that and Winnie the Pooh. I actually rather like the feel it gives the movie.

You know, this may just be the kick I need to get reviewing again, an epic line of reading defeated by the sword of bad reviews.

*snerks*

But really, I love the RV3 contest and I /really/ want to catch-up to show my support. Mercy's still alive! Norf /shall/ return. But I'm really glad /someone/ is taking the time to do reviews. *wink* They really deserve it. You did an amazing job on their portraits too.

But, finally, to the picture, it's quite great, from Maro and Mercy, to that amazing background. I really am impressed. It's intriging really... Definate

Searching for RedVenture and stumbled across this drawing again. It's still awesome.

Here's the link to the forums that survived the breakdown: [link]
