Gaaaaaaahhh!!!
This took SOOOOOO long to color!!!!
The backgrounds, the shadings, the blurring, the various colors… Gah.
I want to diiiieeee….
Unlike the last page, I do not like how the coloring came out on this one at all. The other one really got the whole idea and picture I had in mind, but this one… it's just… dirty. I don't know how to describe it, I'm just not pleased.
I also tried to make the little thieves actually look dirty, if you can't tell what those little brown spots are all over their clothing. I mean, come on! If you're living on the streets and stealing for a living, you've got to get dirty somewhere along the way, right?

Well, anyway, fun facts time. This here is Benji. He's a Equiinus, a race of horse-like creatures who originally lived on the grassy plains far, far, far to the west. They eventually started spreading out and inhabiting other areas, a fact that had only been initiated with the entry of humans into their habitat. Think of their relationship like that of the Europeans and the Africans. The Europeans came and “discovered” Africa, and therefore ruled it as their own country, I think giving it their own name and taking advantage of all the things it had to offer. Yeah. There you go.
Marcus? I don't know what he is. Go crazy. Maybe he's a troll/elf hybrid. I dunno. He looks sorta green. :P

Look, I'm not going to spell anything out for you here. If you think about it hard enough, you can figure out what's going on and why gangs of thieves have such high practicality rates, and why Shroom joined one.

Finally, a BIG THANK YOU to Hikari Tenshi for designing the new 1Q template!!! Go visit her website, everyone! Click on the banner in the navigation bar. She's redesigning HTAS right now, and let me tell you, it's breath-taking.
THANK YOU, HIKARI!!!!

Cheeko out.
