Description
Colored a little sketch I made today.Rumi had always lived in cities. She prowls the urban jungle fearlessly in her human form, as a wild cat would her territory, she feels at ease among humans and she never thought about living somewhere else. Yet, whenever a mission lead her away and into the wilderness for a while, she really began to feel whole. She didn't have to creep around in the dark when she wanted to live out her feline side, she could just walk proudly in broad daylight. Gaia's presence and peace would soothe her mind, sharpen her senses and make her a completely different person.
Now she's in Nairobi to learn more about her people. She spends as much time as she can in the National Park, where leopards can roam free, but things are very special here. To the sound of an airplane roaring overhead, she looks at Nairobi which borders exactly on the reservation and reminds its inhabitants at any time that this is a little unreal island in an Africa that's very different from the romantic image most Americans and Europeans have of it. The noise of traffic can be heared still a long distance from the city. It's no use hiding in the reservation for the Fera - their true purpose and the real battle lie out there. True freedom doesn't exist anymore, or does it?
x) Sorry for the rambling, just wanted to give a little explanation of my/Rumi's thoughts, and she really had a lot to think about recently.

Oh I love her expression and the coloring on this piece. Like others have said, you can feel what she feels.

I feel sorry for her, and I agree. Maybe freedom is just something in fairytales. And the cat's beautyful

Hehe, and in the World of Darkness, everything is just a little worse than in ours. On the other hand, the wild places tend to be really wild, and unwary people tend to get eaten... x)
But yes, it's a depressing thought. Thanks for the comment!

Werwolf the Apocalypse is generell ein deprimierendes Spiel. Aber dann ist da immer wieder die Gelegenheit, irgendwem dafür die Krallen ins Gesicht zu donnern...

Ugh, one of those canned hunts, right? That practice is so disgusting, and it's a real growing industry in Africa. x.x I think I know that video. I wish for nobody to die, but there are cases when I wouldn't mind so much...

Viele Spieler vergessen, dass eine Stadt für die meisten Gestaltwandler ein feindseliger Ort ist (Ratkin wissen es noch am besten) und handeln deshalb so als würde jeder Stamm dort genauso leben wie die Glaswandler.
Ich finde diesen Ansatz ziemlich gut und das Bild erinnert mich an eine wesentlich schönere Variante eines Bilds aus dem Grundregelwerk.

This is really good. I love the detail in the fur.
There is only one thing that bugs me about this picture.
You might want to change the plane a bit. It kind of looks like it farted out the plane. Maybe it should be pointing to the left instead so that it brings the eyes back into the picture. Right now it makes me want to fallow it away. Besides that Its a really nice picture. =3

rofl xD Plane Fart, Level 4. The player spends a Gnosis point and rolls Strength + Expression vs 8. Each success allows her to fart out a miniature plane that actually flies.
But thanks a lot for the critique. I thought in the end that having a V shape in the pic like with her back and the vapor trail would emphasize the contrast in the pic, but if it looks distracting I should maybe change it.

Your welcome. =3 I know what you mean with the V thing. Though what needs to keep in mind are eye movements. What is going to lead the eye out of a picture and what is going to keep the eye in the picture. =3

Rumi sieht sehr schön aus, der Gesichtsausdruck gefällt mir. Irgendwie deprimiert und verärgert zugleich!

Wow, I think the picture really captures the ideas mentioned in the artist's comment. The way the character is sitting in the grass with the city behind in the distance gives the impression of two very different environments next to each other. Her expression does look like she's quite thoughtful about the situation, too.
Lovely details in the colouring of the picture as well.
