Description Companion piece to this:

In that picture, you've got the cubbies' daddy, Reala, with the smallest one, tiny Mae. She's the runt so Reala keeps her close most of the time. I wanted to do a picture of Collette with the older three and this is the result.

The cubbies in question?

Mae is the tiny one in front, and this picture has the older three, Ryuji, Satomi, and Soren spending some time with their mother Collette. I wasn't sure on the background; I was trying to think of how to tie it into the cave scene, since that cave that Reala and Mae are in and even this one I did of Reala and Collette is not only where they are conceived but where they sleep and live most of the time.



Couldn't think of how to do it so I went back to an old reliable lol I LOVE doing sunsets with stars at the top; Shut up I like doing them XD I added the fireflies which is what I WAS able to incorporate from the cave scenes. I imagine the forest where the cave is is in the direction they're facing and they're just out in a field enjoying the sunset and shooting stars and fireflies <3

I loved the sketch and while it needed some tweaking I do love how this came out <3 I drew Collette with her glasses initially but left them out in the line art. She doesn't have to have them on to see so she can take them off and I felt she looked better without them in this case. She's got little Satomi on her shoulder; Satomi is the oldest girl but is born between her two brothers. Ryuji is the white one and he's the oldest of the cubbies; his legs are actually...wrong. I was trying something in my head since he is a cub...but those kinds of legs don't give you the impression that he'll ever walk upright. Just remember he will walk on two legs and have "normal" human like legs. It didn't occur to me what that looked like until after I started coloring and shading.

Soren is the other boy, the one with blue eyes. He's meant to be a little smaller than his brother but looks bigger since it's a side view of Ryuji. You can't see his legs very well but his I drew the way they're all supposed to be.

Anyway I had a lot of fun with this picture. It took less than a week to do working on it on and off so I'm getting better at that. As for what I learned with this picture I learned how to select the background and invert the selection so it would select the characters without me having to click one region at the time with the magic wand. And from that I was able to apply a layer of shadow to only them and not the entire picture which kept from taking the color out of the background, which helps a lot. I also shaded this picture with the pen tool instead of air brushing, which was something I hadn't done before.

Btw you can see their eye colors now! For reference Mae has blue eyes too only they're much, much lighter than Soren's. <3

Collette Owens belongs to me.
Ryuji, Satomi, and Soren belong to me and Gem.

Very <3 As I said her family loved it lol

It'll be Christmas time and you'll have Reala and a heap of cubbies napping on him X3

Speaking of which Collette's going to jump way ahead in the order of babies coming at the rate we're going, if they're coming before Christmas because there's...Ayasha's next we said and there's...eight between her and Collette.

I'm thinking Collette's might come after Chloe does, at this rate, or perhaps after Asami, Avery and Sashanna, depending on how many we can fit in lol

Or maybe all of them who knows XP

Don't apologize silly X3 We'll fit in as many as we can...we just have it set that Collette's babies come before Christmas so they'll come before Christmas regardless of the order XD

Sleep is important, it doesn't help I've been gone for so many hours because of the holiday.

Aww Well work will do that to you. lol we get to chat a little each day that's what's important <3

Reading old RPs, poor Oblivion and Viviane...the same day they met they were pitted against each other down in hell and she just...kept absorbing the darkness. It shows how powerful and capable she is, and yet so fragile, even more so now. And poor Oblivion was just...so hurt. They're a sweet pair really <3

ReverseTheEclipse In reply to Gemzybabee [2012-12-04 07:25:22 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes lol And three moms! Nagatha's special X3

I think Penumbra's just happy Niena knows about her. Literally. That means the world to him. I'm sure Medula wishes Kyosho could know but, not if it's going to damage him somehow. I know she adores little Nagatha.

...and honestly I still think Penumbra and Niena are sweet. There's like...two times where she asks him about something that's been kept from her and he looks at her and takes her hands in his and says, "I'll tell you Niena, because I can't lie to you, but you have to promise me you'll be strong, and you'll try and understand." I think that's so sweet =3
