Description I found this awesome comic sometime ago called Mouse Guard I totally fell in love with it, so I drew a pic of the first issue :3 Here is Lieam, one of the main characters, when he is ambushed by the snake, while his partolmates are destroying the snake's nest ^^

I've been practicing more with Sai recently :3
This one is completely colored with Sai :3 Just few enchancing details and the background was done with Photoshop ^^

100 theme: 65. Horror

I've wondered it, but I never dwelled too much to it :3 It says that mice and weasels were the only animals to "develop culture", but that's as far as it goes to explaining it. But honestly, I don't really need an explanation further than that :3 I try not to think about it too much

I see. So it focuses mainly on the mice? It still sounds pretty interesting I love animals/fantasy stories!

This just in: Have you seen this before?

There are other sentient sapient species, and the predators are also sapient as well. They speak a different language. Tools and technology are mainly only used by animals with fingers, or extremities that are capable of gripping things effectively e.g. squirrels, mice, weasels, chipmunks ect.

Yes, it does :3 I love these kind of stories too, and that is why I fell in love with Mouseguard from the beginning ^^

Yes, I have :3 I've read that back in the days. I own all the comicbooks that have been published from the series too ^^

LOVE this picture but why does it look like the snake's shadow is a person's hand holding up their pointer finger?

I can't help ADORE this picture. I think it's just the look of complete determination on Lieam's face against that ridiculous huge snake! It's such a hilarious contrast you've got to adore Lieam!
As usual, AWESOMENESS!! ^_^

Sir Mouscateer from C.S. Lewis and Bilbo Baggins from Tolkien with a little Robin Hood (originally Ivanhoe) feeling. Grab it with both hands and then extra Conan award...

Wow, I wonder what would be the outcome for this?? This is a really cool picture, man. Loving the composition, coloring and shading here. Not to mention the stressful moment represented in here.

FireRai In reply to Lyonchello [2011-01-18 13:16:28 +0000 UTC]

The outcome in the comic is that the mouse dashed against the attacking snake and pierces its brain through the mouth X3

Thanks pal *^^*
Well, I've taken influence in many places and Sparky gave me a quick tutorial sometime ago from how he colors his pics, since I've always adored his way to do it :3 I tried that style here, but it proved too difficult for me X3 It seems I just got to strive for such results with my own ways XDD

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

CrescoTheEKO In reply to FireRai [2011-01-17 23:03:35 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I know what you're talking about! X3
Sometimes I see people shade things (usually showing how easy it is) then I'll try it myself and I think something like: "Okay! How did they pull this off and make it look so easy?"
Usually it's good to search for different tutorials and then adapt to a style\manner that suits you best! That's the best way to improve. =3

Anyway, You're welcome and keep up the good work my friend!

FireRai In reply to CrescoTheEKO [2011-01-19 12:47:26 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I get the same exactly XD
You think likt "Wow, that's easy!!" but then, when you try it: "....umm *confused* O.o"

Yeah, tutorials for the win ^^

Thank you *^^*
