We were seperated. I searched, but his scent ended at the seacliff. Scouts have reported that he was taken prisoner and dragged aboard a large ship. They sailed across the ocean and no doubt have docked into enemy territory. The ninja birds have never crossed the sea. They can not follow. There is no way to send word. There is no way to know if he's still alive.

The sun stretches wide over him while the night sky blankets our land. The wind sweeps inland and whispers his name this eve, and with it a way to reach him.

A concept sketch quickly done in marker and enhanced in photoshop. No real thought has gone into this sketch, but I like what came out so I thought I'd upload it here. FYI: they are not what they seem to be.

Ah yes, where would anime/manga be without flower petals? 12 Seriously, though, this is a great picture, I love the composition especially.

:-) 'V3SS' M. Raquel replies: "Thanks. I was rather surprised with the composition. I'm usually bad at that ^^;;;"

Gorgeous...glad I saved looking at it til last (that way it'll stick in my mind) The colors are wonderful..vibrant and pleasing. The flow definately gives it a windy effect. Big congrats on Mod's Choice.

As for "they are not what they seem" does this mean their appearance or their connection (like lovers, siblings etc.)?
Oh one last thing...the excerpt at the top...is there more somewhere?

:-) 'V3SS' M. Raquel replies: "Hello MelimeI'm glad the sketch pleases. As far as finding more literature on them, I'm afraid I have no link to send you. Its all a part of a comic I "want" to do. I'm just lacking inspiration and time to work on it. However, when I go get it up and running, I'll post an update in my gallery. Thank you for showing an interest in the story. Oh-and I cant quite tell you what they are, but I can tell you that they arent elves. 2"

I love this picture. Its so heart warming. It almost reminds me of a book I read once that I really liked. I hope that I can get a copy of this to keep.

:-) 'V3SS' M. Raquel replies: "Hello Horse-chan,I wish you had your email on this thing so you could get my reply.. I wanted to thank you for your commentary. Its very flattering and its brightened my day. I hope to see you again when I draw the actual piece to this. Blessings always.-Vess"

Lovely colours and lighting! *big claps*
have to join in and say "yay!" for the intro, too 2
come on - write a novel and use this for the cover!

:-) 'V3SS' M. Raquel replies: "Hello AnnaLoL Its flattering that so many have been trying to encourage me to write, but c'mon.. I'm no writer. ^_^;; I'm barely an illustrator. I will have a go at working on the comic of this though. We'll see how my writing skills turn out there >. >;;;"

You can do ~that~ with markers and photoshop? *has a hyperventilative fit* I love the hair!!! It looks like it could be out of a animated movie... or something akin ... aaaaannnywho, I think it's pretty damn fine like everyone else^

:-) 'V3SS' M. Raquel replies: "Hello SanankiYeeeeesh markers and photoshop. Key here was lack of sleep and a good dose of "I dont care what this turns out to look like" Apparently the more I care about a pic, the faster I ruin it. Go figure. Thanks for visiting!!"
