~~~It's time for some serious lineless practice.
It's also time for some serious background practice.

OH, MAN, I AM SO LOVING THIS.
(Shadow is saying 'WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!' )
I sometimes draw Shadow as a chibi...and he is still so fat. O.o
GOSH, HE'S CHUBBY. IT'S A WONDER AS TO HOW HE CAN GET OFF THE GROUND. NO WONDER HE'S FLYING SO LOW TO THE WATER, OMG. OH, NOES, I FORGOT MY TOWEL.
I'M WRITING IN ALL CAPS, HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA.
Anyways...
Yeah. (I sound so sane. o3o It's been a long day.)
I've been wanting to draw this particular scene for a while now, actually.
This is Saint before Saint...i.e; before she's scalped and beat up by the knights and picked up by Yazin and all that fun stuff. This is after she meets Thomas and they go with the Crusaders and yada-rada. Her actual name is Aila, but she took up the name Saint after staying with Yazin. (She never actually tells Yazin her real name until a few years into their relationship. O.o Poor guy. And, yes, Aila does have nice long hair until she's scalped. >.< )
This is the first time Aila flies on Shadow - Shadow is still very young at this point. Aila wandered off, bored, one day, and found him struggling in some weeds. She freed him, and then the next day she was wandering around he found her and grew attatched to her. Aila taught him quickly to stay away from the knights since he was young and growing very big very fast - the knights never actually learn of him.
One day she swipes a saddle, straps it on him, and takes him for a buzz in one of the river canyons, ha-ha. How about that for a joyride, eh?
Anyways, even after Aila is beat up and rescued by Yazin, Shadow still follows her, but he keeps his distance, still remembering to stay away from knights and other people. Aila frets because she thinks Shadow just ditched her, but one night in the Holy Land while Yazin is alseep, a very big, very happy dragon approaches her.
And then, of course, she has to tell Yazin that a humongous dragon is following around and Yazin is scared to death of dragons - (bad childhood experience. XD ) But he does eventually get used to Shadow and learns that flying between the cities is a lot more convenient than walking.
So...yep.
BUT GEES, LOOK AT SHADOW, HE'S SO FAT. I MEAN YOU COULD PUNCH HIS FAT-ROLLS AND THEY WOULD SPRING OUT AND PUNCH YOU BACK.
Lol.
This surprisingly didn't take too long - about four hours - which is long for me, I guess. O.o The longest part was getting all the flat colours nice and neat. I usually don't have to worry about that since I typically use my linework overtop of it all. Not a pixel out of place.
But yes...
I'm really proud of how the background turned out...since I've never really done any 'serious' background work before. I should just start doing random backgrounds and make them look really pretty. ^^
Here's Shadow's ref: ~~~
For now, this just pleases me so much...
Oh, and put the word 'Quasar' in your comment if you actually read all of this.
Enjoy!
Art/Chars/Story (c) me.
Lay a finger on these guys and you will lose a body part. >;3

GAWD SAINT IS ADORABLE IN THIS PICTURE.
Is it odd that it took me like a minute to realise it was her?
but this is kinda epic XD.

I KNOW, QUITE, YES. :3
Well, technically not, since I usually draw her all assassin'd like and such.
Yes, I know, quite... X3
