Description ......

I regret ever setting foot into the city.




..........I am relentlessly chased from my home by monsters, cretins, and despicable cloaked creatures that hide themselves in the blackness of shadows.....For a reason I am woefully unsure.

...I can't return home, for they drive me away. It sickens my soul, being ripped away from family and home for such a long time.....and I can't seem to find relief, or a way away from them....

....I can trust no living thing. My now enhanced senses are on edge constantly, and I take flight at the slightest danger. This puts me to the lowest of shames, but I have no choice. I live in constant timidness, and even now, I have been attacked. Only once, but I fear they will become more brutal....


...they hiss at me, and scorn and curse me with words, 'Bring back what you ssssssssssstole from ussssss!'.....I have no choice now.

....either I live a life of misery in a city where I have no home....

...or fight my way back to those i love...even if it means death.




....this is my newest character. Joshua the Mongoose, who has an odd beginning in his past if there ever was one. T^T

...I really feel for him. Dxx And yes, now I have TWO maroon colored chars >w< I dun caaare~~~


Anyways, I tried out tricky lightings and perspectives here....and they were HAAARD xD

....I can't really think of much right now, so here's his description xD (As I type this sentence, it is 12:30 A.M. o3o)



=============================
=============================


Name: Joshua

Nicknames: Josh, Joshy, ect.

Species: Mongoose

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Personality: At many first glances, Josh seems to be extremely timid, fearful, and afraid of anything that moves, but this isn't completely true. He is timid somewhat, but he has been driven into waryness of everything, for he can't go home to the forest where his parents, brother, and unborn sister reside. He's usually upbeat and optimistic, though timid and unsure in uncomfortable situations. He's deeply caring and loving.

Background: Joshua lives in a forest glade at the outskirts of town with his mom, dad, younger brother (By around 2 years) and his unborn baby sister. He has lived happily, untill one day he wanted to visit the city, and hsi parents reluctantly allowed him to.

Upon entering, he stayed for several days, meeting friends and seeing new sights.....untill he wanted to go home.

....that first night, upon trudging down a rainy alley-way, he was suddenly and unexpectedly set upon by cloaked figures. Most of the time there are two, but there have been instances when more have appeared. He ran with all his might, and now is ran back when he tries to go through the deadly alley to get home to his family.....his ONLY way home.

The figures never reveal their faces. They always hide deep in the shadows, and appear when Josh enters the alley, hissing and screeching with horrible voices, "BRING BACK WHAT YOU SSSSTOLE FROM USSSS!!!!" Josh is unnerved by this, for the only things in the city he owns are his clothes and a pendent around his neck. It is a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation.....now, he only seeks a way to find his way home to his family before his sister is born, and before these cloaked figures attack again......or worse.


Abilities: At the moment, Josh has no known abilities, except being able to run extremely fast.

Likes: Spending time with his family, his friends, fishing, running early in the morning through the glade and the trees, the rain, ect.

Dislikes: The dark, back parts of the city, the cloaked figures, pain towards others, ect.

Hobbies: Running, Fishing, drawing on occassion, and like Spark, sings alone to himself

Crush: He has no crush at the moment.

Side: He's good ^^


It's laaate xD I may add more here laterzz~

ENJOY AND PLEASE CRIT!!~ >w<

................



............Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.


....for thou art with me.

Pretty creepy. I like your description of him. Would you mind to look at the three chars I've created so far? I'd love to have your opinion on them and the way they are as of yet! If not, that's okay.

The colouring is excellant! I really love the light around the edges of the fur and clothes, it gives it an nice (and sort of cool eerie) feel to the picture ^^
The way the feet are positioned are great as well - you can really tell he's running hard - and the reflection in the puddle!

Horray for maroon charas!!! xDD AtorΓ©, Jazz, and now Joshua! ^3^

It sounds like Joshy has a bit of a creapy background. Poor kid...


As for the picture, AWESOME JOB, CHI!!!! I love the pose you put him in; running-towards-the-screen poses are really hard to draw. I can't even accomplish them and you did beautifully! Also, I love his eyes! They look so pretty! xDD

The rain looks awesome too! 8D I have a lot more to say on this, but I have to go to piano lessons. *shot'd*

Oh wow! This pic looks so epic! 8D The puddles on the ground look fantastic, I like how you did the reflection there too ;D

This character seems very interesting I like his personality.

Anyways his background story really caught my attention. Now I'm sitting here wondering what's going to happen to him D8 Poor guy DX

Very unique character! 8D

Now back to the art. The background looks awesome! I really like how you painted the glow on the character ^^ And his eyes look amazing XD Very nice detail! And the pose is excellent! I can never figure out how to draw a character in that pose! XD

Amazing job, Chi!! Great work!

I really love my little Joshy now. He's grown on me fast

But I also worry about him, because of all the things he's had to deal with in his normally peaceful life >< It all went downhill once he went to the city, but if he didn't visit the city, he wouldn't find friends that could help him...>w>

Anyways, thanks again!! I was soooo worried about the quality of the background Dx I'm overall pleased with it, because normally my backgrounds are horrible And that pose was a challenge, but I always love challenges!!!



Again, thanks so much!!!! ^w^

Woah the background is totally epic!

The rain looks amazing as do the clouds and the floor looks so cool.

Nice new character by the way, I feel really sorry for him, he must have had a rough past D'X Very nice design though ^^

And the perspective looks awesome, I always fail at characters walking/running forwards! X3

The eye looks great too and I love that shadow in the background! Did you ever consider writing a fic/oneshot about his past? I think that'd be awesome! ^^

But maybe you should have made Joshua slightly darker since he's in a darkish place ^^

But other than that, epic job, keep up the great work! 8D

>w< I was worried that the background would look...ugly. D:

Awwww, thanks so much! And yes, but hopefully things will improve for him T^T


I worked HARD on the perspective, which was extremely difficult for meeeee xDD

I think the eyes are the best I've done so far ^^ And that's a very good idea by the way!! I should do that soon! ^^


xD I wanted his colors darker, but then I was torn with having lightness about him because there is lighting at his back ^^



Thanks so much!!! ^^

Nuuuu, the background is like, the best bit! XDD I was amazed when I saw it, you've seriously improved at them, the reflection in the puddle is epic win! ^^

Your welcome ^^ Yeah, poor Josh T.T

Well it was worth it then! ^^

Heh thank joo, I'll be waiting to read it! -waits eagerly- XDD

Ah I see! Hmmm, maybe you could have done darker colours but with a shine from the lightning but this way looks great anyway ;D

Your very welcome!

The effects on the water on the ground are incredible.
Not to mention the shadowy eyes. I guess i just really like it when someone tries something creepy like that.

Also, shiny necklace/pendant thing is shiny.
It is honestly beautiful. A light in a void of darkness.

...And it's obviously linked to the storyline somehow.
