Description
First part: [link]Next part: [link]
A shiver went down ZachrΓ‘nce's spine, the wind had picked up and the sky clouded over. Anger boiled inside him when he thought about Bovver. This was going to be the last time he'd get away with standing him up on a job. He slowed down to a walk when he neared the large tree where they hid their equipment. At the bottom of the tree there was a large hole with every kind of weapon Rokero had gotten his hooves on up till now. "Okay what do I need for a Rugaru again?", he muttered as he muzzled between the knives and blades. Again Bovver's arrogant face appeared in his mind and he grinded his teeth. How dare Bovver leave him to do all of this on his own. He grabbed two leather boots and the two silver knives that could be placed inside those. The other knife belonged to bovver but he wasn't coming now was he? After some annoyed attempts to get the knives inside the boots the black stallion finally succeeded and went on his way. They'd gotten directions from rokero earlier that day. With the wind in his back he made his way towards the Rugaru's hiding place.
To be continued...
Look at how quickly I uploaded the next part!
Sooooooo cell shading
I absolutely don't know what I think about it xD At first I hated how it looked but now I think it's okay I guess?
Well let me know what you guys think! I wonder if the Supernatural fans will see what I did here in this story

The cell shading style is cool and and defiantly looks faster. Why must digital art take so long? I like how this is more of a moody/windy day. Well I suppose you could make the background less soft and blended by adding more sharp details. Maybe that would mesh well with the cell shading.

Paardjee In reply to Celleno [2012-10-29 19:05:28 +0000 UTC]
Yes it's definitely faster ;D Though I like my normal shading
better I'm slowly getting used to cell shading as well. Even though
I really dislike this particular drawing xD
Yeah the background doesn't fit with the drawing at all here :/
Thank you for the tips!

Cell shading is not my friend but I'll try it a few more times
Weeeeeeeeelllllllll I don't know how he does it xD Maybe he has some serious lip controlling skillz

I really like how the simple cell shading contrast the realistic textures you used in the background, it looks awesome! And I am really enjoying the story that goes along with it.

Paardjee In reply to Winzer [2012-10-13 10:01:54 +0000 UTC]

Looks great! I like the wind blown mane and tail. I think your style suits cell shading. I still use it sometimes (mostly for stuff I want to whip up quickly), it's fun.

Paardjee In reply to Crimson-Mane [2012-10-13 09:58:39 +0000 UTC]
Thank you very much! God I really needed to get used to drwaing lines for my manes and tails here, it's actually harder than my normal style

Don't ever say that your cell shading isn't good again
'Caus it's amazing. That's what it is.
Seriously, I love it It goes so well with your style and looks so nice and clean
And I think it also goes perfectly with the background, so don't worry about that ;D
I'm looking forward to seeing more cell shading
Oh, and a little tip to make him blend more into the background: use a color from the bg for the shading
Gorgeous work

Paardjee In reply to jannaphia [2012-10-13 09:55:34 +0000 UTC]
But I.. I really don't think it's all that good D:
I just really have to get used to it. It looks so empty to me cause
with my normal shading not one place is not shaded.
But I'm happy to hear you like it though c: I'll be drawing this whole
story with cell shading
Ah yes I shaded with pure black here so next time I'll think about that! Thank you!
Oh by the way have you seen the the new episodes of Supernatural yet?

jannaphia In reply to Paardjee [2012-10-14 12:32:21 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I know it looks strange in the beginning, like...something's missing P: But I'm sure you'll get used to it and get better with every picture Hell, we all need some time to get into things :3
Ooh, that sounds great!
You're welcome dear!
Yes, I've seen it, but I dunno...it felt kinda wrong in the beginning P: Let's see how things will work out, but so far, I really don't know what to think of it :,)

Crystal-Cinders [2012-10-12 17:39:34 +0000 UTC]
I kinda do love the shading!
And I see what you mean with the background and all - it still works, but just not as well xD
Still drop-dead gorgeous though - though that's Zach, not your art, sorry.

Thank youuuu! <33 It's not really my thing but I do need to cheat with the time every once in a while xD
Hmm not sure if you're complementing me or insulting me there xD

Crystal-Cinders In reply to Paardjee [2012-10-12 18:55:21 +0000 UTC]
Oh well, if it's good cheating - like this - it's accepted, I'm sure.
Complimenting. Definitely complimenting. I don't know what one would do if they insulted one of their favourite artists

How nice to see a little twist in your work. I rather like this style of shading, you do it well. Brovo!
And I love the story so far too. That's a really cool idea to have him hold his knives in the boots. At first I was a little scared though, I tought he was cutting himselfe. But then I noticed he was whearing boots and when I read the story, all was solved. I can't wait for the next part.

Thank you so very much dear! <33
It's so different from my normal style, I'm still not sure if I like it or not xD
Haha oh dear no he would never cut himself nor will I ever draw a horse being emo and cutting itself
Next part should be up soon

You are very welcome. :hut:
Yes, I must agree that it is diferent, but desperate times call for desperate messures... well. lol, but you handled it well for someone who doesn't know what they think of it. I like it, that's for sure.
Few, that's good to know. I can rest in piece now.
Yay! I can't wait for it.

Interesting story bit, I really lke the boots for hiding the knives.
