Description We galloped as fast as we knew how, out of the clearing and through the trees, as far away from the dark horse as we could. I stayed behind Sonnet, afraid that the black horse had been trying to possess him, like the Shadow had done in the clearing. For a moment, I thought we had lost him; we ducked and weaved through the forest to fend him off.

β€œI think we can slow down, he’s not chasing us any-"

I felt something on top of me and fell to the ground. Sonnet was a few paces ahead and did not seem to notice; I looked ahead and called to him but saw him nowhere.

from chapter 7 of the story: [link]

the title sort of sucks. I had a million issues with this picture (you can read about them on the WIP picture, which is linked below) but I like it now.

Sender's attacking Lyric. Sonnet doesn't notice because he's possessed and has no idea what's going on. He thinks Lyric's ahead of him. oh noes!

14x17 inches, done with pen (an inky pen I bought, good for fast study notes, lol!) and colored with polychromos and prismacolors. took like 4 or 5 hours, because I had so much trouble making it look right.

I love how the lineart/ uncoloured version looks...

here is the wip/ uncoloured versions:

Very awesome! Great sense of movement and I love how youve added the black lines everywhere, makes it look so much more dramatic

The black one looks to be quite a creep! But the entire drawing is wonderful!

I love Lyric's (?) expression as Sender bites him (or her?...sorry I'm not reading the story...).

You did a good job on this.

I love your style of art, the look on poor Lyric is so saddened, like a gentle creature that doesn't seek no harm, and is confused by the ambush.

thanks! one of my friends was saying how lyric and sonnet are like, classic tragic heros..haha (I was asking her advice on the whole outline) I like your analogy, that's what I was sort of going for so I'm glad it showed
