Description
Finally! I did it! My hand still hurts >< but I can support it and draw as well! :3

That's my main entry for the contest organized by
and and the theme of the contest was to draw something about ~RonelltheHedgehog 's character Guan Feng (or Thorn)

Reading the description of this nice character I noticed something that made me think of a samurai's lifestyle.
Guan feng, indeed gives all himself to reach his goals and generally doesn't show his emotions, but he's also humble, well-mannered and has a lot of compassion for others (this was one of the things of this character I apreciated most)
Plus, I thought, part of his look reminds me a little bit the look of a samurai's armor (Especially the head)


Anyway... let's talk about the pic Or well the comic.

It's a very rainy day, and a young girl (a kitty) is sitting on the sidewalk, begging for some money... she's completely wet and she feels cold.
Thorn (that has compassion for her) comes and gives her his cloack, to cover herself, and his money, to let her buy something to eat... a little gesture makes this young girl the happiest girl of the earth, and when she thanks him, Thorn goes away, smiling a little bit (not showing his emotions) and just answering that "he takes every opportunity to help his fellows", going away in the rain...
Well... now you might ask "Why you called it Third Principle?"
It's always related to the samurai argument
There are seven principles followed by a samurai
the third is "Compassion" (indeed), or well "仁, Jin"
And it says:
The intense training of the samurai makes him quick and strong. It is different from the others, he gains a power that should be used for the common good.
He has compassion, takes every opportunity to be of help to others and if there's not an opportunity, he does everything to find one."


Well, after this sort of "book"... enjoy xDDD

I hope your hand is feeling better! This whole entry is just so...compassionate. I am blown away by the expressions shown here, they feel so real and they make you feel for the characters as well. I am very glad to see you drew Thorn's design accurately and I do like the shine you gave to his shell/armor. The rain effect is very well done, I like the drops visible on the characters, it gave this picture so much feeling, this seems like a very legitimate encounter and everything in this feels so real. The backgrounds, though simple, work extremely well.

Thank you a lot for your detailed critique! ^^ I'm very glad you considered my work on the expressions and the rain it's an effect I tried the first time here (Drops too ^^)
I generally don't go for too complex backgrounds because they would distract too much from the character (unless I want to distract from him/her xD)
Anyway my hand is okay now It doesn't hurt anymore ^^
