"Take me whereever you want, my friend."



(The white spot in the lower left-hand corner is where the date of the sketch stands. I didn't forgot to colour it.)

FINALLY! I made the sketch back in June 2016 and the colouration took me some months now (breaks included).
This picture is both a playing field for SO many new things I tried out and simply a picture full of radical changes in my drawing style. That means in my colouration style - the sketch is still old and not changed in any way.
Despite everything I simply love it. Even if there are some mistakes and even if one can see the break right in the picture (background/foreground). It doesn't matter to me and I hope the better things cheer you up as well disregarding the bad things :)

Whats new?
First of all - the scales. The f**king time-eating, thumb-killing but so awesome looking scales. I'll never draw again without them. It was a big worthwile step I took and I'm happy I did it at least. It was time, after all, to take a step forward.
And I learned to colourate on a complete different way. This happened just thanks to Durina and Windspirit-Aquaeris who gave me, complete separately, a little hint on how I may use my Polychromos in a better way to get a better lighting and shading as well as avoiding the rough surface of the colours on the paper. I tried it out in my own way and style and was able to integrate the new idea perfectly without losing the charme of my drawing style which makes it -my- style.
Even if I did it in the past, I just want to thank you two wholehearted <3 THANK YOU! You made this change possible! Maybe without knowing where a few words could get me :)

I enjoyed drawing like never before and am very happy to be able to say: I'm back. I'm sick of all the things who've driven me mad while thinking about how many things I want to do but don't do. On New Year I made a cut and started in the new year full of vigour. And I'm not willing to let it fade.
Stay tuned for more art!



And who are these two runaways?
You know the bluehaired guy from Closer to the edge. Yes, it's the same Daeva but like he's in his story right now (he's both my main in Aion and the main character in the story - not surprising). Many things happened in the 11 years of the fanfic I'm writing for 3,5 years now. No I won't explain it all to you :)
And the beautiful four-legged friend behind him is both his mount and soulmate. They share the pain from wounds because of their bond between mount and rider. He's called Tau and I love him <3 (Like all my OCs from this story but he's one of my favourites.)
Tau was betrayed of his own legion and used as guinea pig like many other of his kind. That's why he looks not like a normal Balaur-hound (in German we call them affectionately "Dogs" or "Hounds") of the fourth legion. And on the verge of death and depression where nothing else mattered, he met this crazy Elyos and realised that maybe revolting against his own men could be something worth living for.
His final decision he made when the Tower of light in Northkatalam was attacked by Beritra and he decided to not let this weird but kind guy die and rescued him right from the clutches of the attacking fourth legion.
After that he pledged loyalty to his new rider and earned slowly the trust of other Elyos. The golden markings on his neck armor were forged by two Elysian armorsmiths to show their trust and to be able identifying him in a battle to be not an enemy. Today Tau's a loved person in Sanctum and when he's not hiding everyone wants him to help them. At big feasts most times he's carrying baskets with food the festive hall or plays with children while their parents are helping with the preparations.
Since Lorahn is riding him without saddle he doesn't wear one anymore.

Enough of story-telling! Hope you like the picture :)

Du verbesserst dich bei jedem Bild, vor allem bei der Koloration.
Dieses blau ist einfach genial. Ich liebe diese Kombi und benutze sie, wie du ja weißt, selbst sehr gerne.
Der Kontrast mit dem saftigen Grün passt auch sehr gut. Großes Lob für die Geduld der Schuppen und wie du die Rüstung 
gezeichnet hast. Gerne mehr solcher Bilder.
Etwas kleines muss ich jedoch anmerken.
Der Hintergrund oben links ist etwas zu farblos, finde ich.
Ich hätte vielleicht mit den Ultramarinblaus oder mit den Grautönen mehr gearbeitet.
Nur als kleiner Tipp :)
