Description protect you forever...

---

Another battle won, minimal scars was the only price to pay. Safety for a friend, really, more of a kid. Tenshi was a dedicated, strong fighting pitbull but even he had a weak spot. His heart. Not all of the fighters here were cold, merciless killers--at one point or another they had all cared about something else aside from themselves. He lived to see another day, even if his opponent wasn't as fortunate. He turned his heavy, throbbing head to his side, feeling some warmth. He looked to the little umber furball curled up closely against his side, her bones visible even under her much thicker fur. He felt a pang of pity and deep pain for this young pup. "So young.. even I didn't have the misfortune of being through into the ring at such a young age. She's no older than two or three years." He sighed softly, glancing back further to see the monsters in their hiding. Gnashing their teeth at their bars and walls. There and then he decided, gazing back to the pup with a smile, "I swear on my life, pup, I will protect you so long as I live..." His voice drifted off but the pup did not stir. 'If only I could protect your forever..'

So, I'm not sure what inspired me to want to do this exact image. I think I just wanted a better image of Tenshi. So I did, no references used - woah. XD All of it was straight from scratch, I think I go most of the bone placements correct, as well as Tenshi's face. Poor Derana, she looks starved, and Tenshi as well. But such is the life of a pit-dog. Dog fighting is so wrong, I absolutely hate it, its so barbaric. :< Those poor animals.

I did a lot of random shading in this. But I don't like everything about it because towards the end I began to get lazy. But please do tell me what you think of it.

Pitbulls are better than any dog in the world. Seriously, I am against dog fighting, abuse, starvation, or anything like that. Poor Tenshi.

So sad!! Poor Tenshi and Derana... Great picture, though. I absolutely adore Tenshi's shading. They have a shiny behind. But dog fighting is absolutely HORRIBLE. The poor things... whenever I go to the pound, I see so many sad pit bulls in their cages looking at me to take them home. I want to take them all home but I can't; I already have 3 dogs and my house is painfully small. But hopefully one day I'll save a pit bull from a dog-fighting owner.

Anyway, back to the picture. It's really good, I like it a lot! And I like the story behind it.

<3 Yay for shiny butts. XD But yes it is a terrible thing, terrible fate for any animal to have to endure. We have a rescue pit[from an abusive home, it what we were told], she's the sweetest thing. Red-nosed Pitbull, she has a docked tail and is fixed now. Great dog.

But thank you so much <3

Poor thing. But she's in a much greater place now. I'm glad your family was able to save her!!

And you're welcome. <3 You are an amazing artist, I hope you know that. :3
