This is what happens when I get full creative freedom. My eyes are still a little sore from doing the final touches...
Aaaaanyway, lookit this here. We got some new art; a commission for :York_Indayla: of their characters baring the same name, York (sitting) and Indayla (the one NOT sitting).
I've done at least a couple now of this species, known as "Ininbi"s, where a small, rodent-like creature is attached at the tail to an imposing, ominous, awesome, guardian creature, which will sometimes be known simply AS the tail. In a nutshell.

This piece has been loooong over-due, and it was primarily because, within the world of these species, I was given total and complete artistic freedom. I've come to learn that with commissions for york_indayla , I'll tend to let my imagination and ambition have a party, and my hand and eyes suffer. hah. I loved doing this though. This was arguably my most ambitious commission to date, and I love how it came out. I'm glad I didn't rush a single element to it, and despite injuries, sickness, and various other obstacles, it all came together into the visual candy, you see here.
And so, enjoy!

(Dangit, lost my draft when pc had to reset for updates yesterday, let's try this again)
This one...this one, strike a cord with me personally, as this is you interpreting...well...me, in some fashion.
The angelic struts on the tail's back is a trait not used often (well, until X-Com 2 came along). And the Ankh shaped beard is a dead giveaway what cultural inspiration you drew the theme of his appearance from. The armor blended with the living eyes, how the index fingers are different from the others to house another eye. And don't think I didn't notice one side of the chains that binds Indayla's arms seems to be more fluid, stretchy, alive. And that's exactly what it is, you paid detail to the fact that every detail of the Tail's body is alive. Gosh though in hindsight, what divine entity in their setting was able to conjure up a being with a being born with a tome for a living body part/organ.
And thus we come to York the rodent, who's charming in of himself given he's not taking after to keep up appearances of the one he's conjoined with for all his life. You've gotten the contrast I desired, the immaculate angel guardian and the homeless drifter. Now I'm left wondering how the Tail must feel, with his better half being left in such a rustic state.
And little cigarette flicking off the steps is one of the best little touches you didn't have to do. I keep saying this before but it's always the things you didn't have to do but did anyways that makes it all worth while.

(FINALLY had a moment to sit down and respond, heh.)
The chains were somethin', let me tell you. The entire time, I kept in mind how these creatures were bound, and it was a real struggle to come up with a way for him to hold a book, while still bound. It was a delightful challenge, to be sure. SO, fiiiinally -- I think I already told you, the idea struck me, at like 2am, one night, in bed -- I figured out how I'd make the chains capable of taking on a more fluid state, AFTER Indayla casts some sort of spell or incantation from said book. Obviously, this idea is open for interpretation, but that's just the little insight into my workings of these chains. And yes, making them more fluid and "stretchy" made them feel organic and alive, and part of his body. Again, figuring this dude out was a challenge, but I loved it.
And York. Less needs to be said here. I just wanted him to ooze cool, aloof, and yes, a contrast to his counter-part in all the best way. His half of the piece, luckily came to me right away, but I still had just as much fun drawing him.
I really really REALLY loved doing this piece. I still look at it when I open up my page, proudly. So thank you, for trusting me with such a task. It was a pleasure.
