Description

I've been scarce around these parts, and will likely continue to be. I'll finish owed commission work and probably be done with them for the foreseeable future. I'm much more active with tumblr, but you should know by now that it's a sketchblog for mostly pallanoph stuff. (Put simply, if you're looking to find my things that aren't pallanoph related, do not follow that tumblr.)

This is a novel snippet. It may get the same digital color treatment as others done in this vein, but that would require free time, which I currently have none of. Sorstan (top) makes the difficult choice of handing over his comrade, Reivig, to the leader of tribe they've been ordered to assassinate. Sorstan thinks he has a plan to get unwitting Reivig out of this mess, while keeping the doomed leader alive and out of Reivig's reach. 

Reivig knows nothing, except that he's been betrayed by his own brother in arms. That is all he needs to know. 

Usual disclaimer statements: Pallanophs are not canines; wolves or otherwise. Don't even start with me, I've been here too long to keep being sweet about it. Read a book. (If you have a problem with this sentiment, well, good for you. )

As much as I love this illustration (and your art <3), Reivigs face didn't work for me this time - after reading the description, the pieces didn't really fall into place until I stared at it longer, perhaps the fear on his face was more overpowering than the anger (I would imagine he is rather pissed off, thinking that he was betrayed), and together the mix of emotions fell a bit flat, at least to me. Perhaps I would also expect Sorstans stance to be more strong, pressing in a bit more harder than he is now? Maybe to make it more clear that Reic needs to calm his tits, stay down and shut up while he thinks? :giggle:
