Yay a new drawing!The last week of work was pretty brutal, so I haven't had much drawing time lately! But finally I finished this one XDTook quite a bit more time than normal due to the new coloring style I mentioned in my last drawing. As in the last one, this is a completely different coloring method that has very little relation to the previous, and it is taking awhile to get used toHowever, it is quite freeing to be able to do the colors on just a few layers instead of having dozens of layers for all the shadows colors and highlights XD Much simpler(I like how it looks a lot more XD )__________And this is what I imagined it looking like if Lue'maar (the brother of Ti'maar from my comic Taria Pg5 ) got a portrait done of his personal "family"I'll give a description of each character (since I haven't talked about them much) We have Lue'maar in the middle, his head slave Khay on the left (never shown him before), and the melanistic Serval named Asha on the right from my popular drawing "Longing" (the alternate version in the description is her real color).Ah and Lue' and Khay are at their normal heights, but Asha is standing on something as she is much shorterAnd she appears quite happy that Lue' let her include her pet rabbit her gave her in the portrait haha.__Lue'maar (Pronounced: Loo-marr)(middle):Twin brother of Ti'maar, and son of the Cheetah Alpha (meaning he is VERY wealthy) While his brother has already been selected to be the next leader, that is fine for Lue', he never really liked the leadership role. He is a highly skilled warrior and thoroughly enjoys the thrill of the fight firsthandHe tends to be quite sadistic Cheet Wants To Play and loves to torment "lesser" people for his own amusement (especially his many slaves). But when it comes to his equals his is quite loyal and lovingMay seem strange that such a cruel guy could be so nice to certain people, be he manages to justify it in his head! But to these two they are like family to him, they are pretty much the only slaves he has he cares for and treats with respect.Khay (Pronounced: Kay)(left):Khay was purchased out of mercy when he was a child when Lue'maars father Ra'maar saw him chained up and in very bad condition at a wolf's palace he was visiting. Ra' cares very much about cheetahs (as he is their leader) and never likes to see any of them suffering (especially this time, as Khay was the same age as his own sons, and he was reminded of them). So Ra' purchased Khay, rescuing him, and gave him to Lue'maar as a companion, ordering Lue'maar to care for Khay and treat him as a brother. And Lue'maar did just that. He grew up with Khay, helped him recover, taught him how to read and write in multiple languages and how to do math. He treated him extremely well and loved him, and Khay returned the favor with extreme loyalty and devotion. Khay now operates as Lue'maars assistant, Steward, and head of his estate (a considerable task). Khay even traveled with Lue' during the civil war and tended to him. He does everything in his power to please Lue'maar, and can be quite emotionally and mentally unstable (but Lue'maar is patient with him thankfully). Only thing Khay doesn't like about his master is how sadistic he can be with the other slaves. It scares Khay at times (as it should), but he tries his best to look past it and to serve Lue' to the best of his ability, as he feels he owes Lue'maar his life for saving him and for Lue's kindness towards him.Asha (Pronounced: Ash-uh)(right):Asha is a very rare and valuable melanistic serval. She was born into a typical poor serval family outside of the Wolf Alliance during the Canid-Felid civil war. As they had very little, and had other children to feed, they sadly sold her at a very high price when she was quite young. She went from owner to owner for several years, including many horrible people and places such as brothels. Eventually when the Wolf Armies (along with the cheetah army) invaded where she lived, her city was destroyed and she was taken captive by the soldiers. Lue'maar happened to be in the area when he saw several soldiers fighting over her, and knowing she wouldn't survive long in their hands, he beat them all up and took her for himself. Much like with what happened with Khay, Lue' treated her quite well, and compared to the rest of her owners he seemed like a savior. Lue' doesn't treat her with the same level of respect as he does Khay, but comparatively she lives a much more comfortable life than before (and much much better than the rest of Lue's slaves) Lue' is very protective of her and in a twisted way thinks of her as a sort of "trophy" from the war, much to the annoyance of Ti'maar (who has offered to buy her and free her many times) Sadly Lue' won't be parting with her anytime soon!__Welp that is about it! Hope you found it interesting! All three characters will appear in the comic ^^__________Well I hope you all like the drawing!Let me know what you think!
