Description
Shadi running away from the guards, again.
While she's in a way forced to beg and steal, she quite enjoys being a thief. She likes the danger, the thrill of taking something without being noticed, or the adrenaline rush when she is chased by the guards. In this case she managed to escape by climbing up a wall, something she's VERY good at, she even has the time to mock the guards chasing her!
...Shadi should really try to change her lifestyle, before something bad happens. At this point the soldiers may recognize her on sight, and the "Kings of Beggars", the criminal overlords who rule the slums, don't like freelance thieves stealing in their territories... In both cases death would be the better option.

Anyways! This drawing took me AGES to finish, especially because I had only an hour a day to work on it if I was lucky. I've been working on it for a whole month, and I was starting to be quite sick of it XD (also why I haven't posted much, this kept me busy).
This is the first time I worked on a perspective of this kind, and let me tell you it was pure madness! It looks off in many places, especially Shadi's position is all wrong (and it irks me to no end), but at the same time I'm pretty damn pleased of the result!
In the end it was good practice for the future, I learned a lot.I really hope you like it, and if you have any feedback I'd be super happy to hear it!
Oh, and happy holidays to everyone!

As always, and to no surprise, you did a spectacular job on this one! The mood was captured spectacularly, the expressions did their jobs flawlessly, and the overall feel of the image is placed together in a beautiful and colorful scene! You also did a magnificent job on the lighting and shadow effects on the characters; nothing feels out of place or looks as if it’s not truly there. You also squeezed every detail out of this image in genius ways, giving it a more realistic and believable feel, something that has always intrigued me about your art. I hope to see more works like this in the future and possibly more diversity in expressions and emotions. As previously stated, you executed the feeling and emotion of this piece perfectly!

Did you not base this off of "The Elder Scrolls Online: Thieves Guild" wallpaper art? link:esosslfiles-a.akamaihd.net/upl…

Nope, in fact I had never seen that drawing before!

But it's neat to see that your theme was coincidental with Bethesda's Official Artwork.

The strong shadows really add depth to the scene.
I'm a little surprised as I didn't realise the lizard-men were so big!

It has taken me this long to comment on this! shame on me! DX
I really love the dramatic angle of view in this piece! You really pushed yourself and chose a super hard angle and I think the execution is very impressive too! 
and as always.. I adore all the small details you've put here, especially the armor on the lizard guy and the stonewall where Shadi is climbing! The lighting is damn wonderful as well! ^^
...Also.. I gotta love that cocky attitude of Shadi here

I find it amusing how cocky Shadi looks, and how she find such a thrill in having to be on the run.

This is a pretty amazing piece, even with the perspective errors here and there
Also, that's one BIG lizard

Thank you a lot!
They are pretty huge, indeed! XD

The perspective certainly looks interesting there! I like seeing various reactions from the onlookers on the street - the human passerby seems to be mindly amused while the Ajshar are totally rooting for Shadi. 
Still, Shadi'd better to hurry before that guard gets any idea about using that pike - it looks long and fearsome enough! And if the guards recognize her on sight, they may get a habit of carrying around crossbows...

Thank you!
Indeed, the cats like to see humans being made fools of! XD
haha right! It would be pretty bad for her!

The guard only need a crossbow, or a cross and finito.

Indeed! She probably took notice of that before mocking them!

GRet picture and POV. Funny, I have a image on the same theme, reverse POV. Ended bad for the thief, however. You're right, she'd better find another way too earn a living. Thieve life is harsh and short.

Thank you a bunch!
Indeed, way too dangerous, but she's a kitten, she has yet to understand how dangerous it can be.
