Description i needed to distract myself so i drew up another monster character

this is Dust. they're a member of a race of spirits called the rel, whose purpose is to track down those who commit injustices. Dust in particular hunts those who seek to evade death (by means of magic). the rel spontaneously form from minerals and take on the appearance and quality of whatever substance they spawn from. they stand as statues until their duty calls, whereupon they leave only when no one is looking to carry out their purpose. Dust tracks down the death evaders relentlessly without stopping for food or water, killing the evader with a jab from their tail, and then returns to their plinth.

to see a rel statue move is considered to be an omen of death. they all wear masks, and will only show their true faces to those they are about to kill.

Dust spawned from weathered sandstone and is thousands of years old, considered to be one of the earliest rel. they make a kind of grinding stone sound when they move.

i miiight make adoptables of these? idk i think they're pretty cute but admittedly very generic.

Whelp, I couldn't make it look that good even if I tried... I used photoshop C6. Should I switch? :/ I'm so bad at this!
But thank you for your work. Everything looks so good and detailed. I wonder why you have no comments on most pieces

oh no i'm sure you can make cs6 work, it should be fine! i just have a very steady hand haha. and i don't get a lot of comments because there's no real way of advertising on dA, i mostly just post art on tumblr where i have far more followers than watchers here since you can always post into a tag for publicity. (thank you for all the nice comments too, they all made me smile haha)

Oh... I have very shaky hands so I guess I'm not achieving this kind of masterpiece any soon sadly... I looked up your prices for commissions because I have to say I am very interested, the prices are way out of my range unfortunately (I study without any loans and I kinda barely scrape by most of the time) but I definitely have you on my mind. As soon as I'm able, I'm throwing all my money at you. 
I'm so happy I could make you smile, at least! Keep it up, your colours are amazing and your original designs are the stuff dreams are made of. <3
