Description
Jin swiveled around sharply as he heard the sounds of tiny talons clicking on the polished floor of the throne room. Sure enough, there was Shen, looking up at his father with wide, frightened eyes."Son?" Jin blinked, noticing the feverish trembles in the chick's movements. "A-are you sick?"
Shen looked down, tears filling his eyes. "N....Nana said that when she looks in her bowl, she sees me grown up......so I'm not gonna die......so you can love me now, right?"
Jin was absolutely floored. There was no emotion to describe how heartbroken he was.
"Sheng....L........come here........"
Fearfully, Shen shuffled forward a bit. His father reached down and hesitantly scooped him up, holding the little feverish body close. The lord sat down on the throne with his son cradled in his lap, eyes shut in silent regret.
Five years, and this was the first time he had really held his son.

Continuation of this picture:
Just trying to drum up some attention for the fanfiction that I'm now officially going to write.
NOTE: because this comes from an RP with , we used her names. Hence, Shen's parents are Lord Jin and Lady Ah-lam, and Shen's full name is Sheng Li. This will be explained fairly early on.
As sad as the story gets, it does have a happy ending. (Well, sort of; we all now how Shen's story turned out.) But Shen's parents do see the error of their ways and resolve to spend more time with their son after he has a huge horrible breakdown. The picture is actually based on a slightly later section than the writing excerpt, but I wanted to put the more "oomph" moment in the description.
And I totally BSed it on Shen's parents. Sorry, but we only see them as cutout puppet things; I felt like I could take SOME liberties.

Well, to begin the colors in this piece are absolutely beautiful! I like how they are very basic, it's simple, and that's what I like about this piece. ^^
And I love the use of geometric shapes, it gives it that "traditional" look. I also like how even though this is a digital piece, it looks like it was hand painted! I love the expressions on their faces. You can definitely see the happiness in this picture. (I love baby Shen in his mother's arms) Probably my favorite picture out of your series. This makes me want to go see the movie!! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/d⦠" width="29" height="21" alt="

We would all like to think that Lord Shen had the same Β beginnings as any child, but we'd be kidding ourselves. Shen was hatched Β with a silver spoon in his beak. (probably spent more time with nannies than with his parents.) Β But awww,

Well it's not to suggest that his parents didn't cared for him, it's just that they're rulers of an entire city. Trying to both raise a child and keep a city togather is a NIGHTMARE to juggle.

I like how pretty you made his mother, Lady Ah-lam.
Peahens can be distinguishable from peacocks and still be different. They don't always have to be brown. ^^

I love the mother's design. I think her head was kinda maroon-ish in the prologue, but I like the combo of the blue feathers and the purple eyes here.

I have a bootleg copy of the movie on my iPhone, and I was looking at the prologue trying to see the colors and I was like, "Yeeeaaah...I can't see anything XD" So this was the best I could do for her.

Well, if in doubt, just look up a photograph of a peahen on Google or something.

Aww, I'm glad to see this after the first picture. You are so good at capturing the emotions of different characters through their expressions!

Hi, it's Domenic from ff.net (and also fannishcodex from tumblr). Love this art and the fic snippet. Looking forward to the full fic.
Yeah, his parents were only awesome shadow puppets--I think liberties can/have to be taken with their design when out of shadow puppet form.
I like how the wife and husband are different shades of blue, one darker, the other lighter.
