More from whiteraven90
Commissioned by Magarnan 
They'll be likely to write a story to go with the illustration so keep an eye out for that if you are interested to know more about what's going on~
I tried a new technique for the buildings... with which i heavily confused myself a few times. But it turned out okay in the end. Probably better than if i didn't try anything new. :p
Also that kid's species? I thought it's some kind of obscure Australian species i knew only as Bassaricus Astutus from a catalog book i have on mammals and then i looked again and apparently it's only obscure from where i stand, and it has nothing to do with Australia. :u

Yep~ I first drew a seamless fence pattern, then filled out the shape of the fence with it, then put it in perspective using the transform tools. I painted the fence dark, then duplicated the layer, filled that with white, and moved it a few pixels toward the light source (so the upper left). I erased the parts of the bright one where there was no need for highlights and then i applied other tweaks e.g. warp tool to make the pattern look more worn and lifelike.
I guess i could have used the dark layer on the bright one as a clipping mask in order to preserve the outlines but i thought the fence looked too thin for that and so it wouldn't have looked very good (i also tried doing the lights by applying Inner Bevel which is similar and it looked lame). <_<

I must say again just how utterly beautifully I think this came out :)
And I will certainly let you know when I've completed the narrative, most likely this week end, once I have a modicum of time to myself XD
Thanks so much again for taking this commission, the incredible amount of work and attention to detail put it into this is appreciated so much :)

Incredible work -- photographic quality and great layout. The characters poses and gestures are arresting.
Bassariscus astutus -- Bassarisk, Ring-tailed Cat or Miners' Cat. In the Old West of the United States, miners used to keep them for rodent control. I guess some folks still keep them as pets (as one would a domestic cat), but they're basically nocturnal. I've only seen one in a museum, but where I live, I'm a lot more likely to see a Moose...

The ringtail was found guilty of espionage by civic tribunal that afternoon and hanged twenty minutes later. His body remained on display for three days to act as a deterrent to others. The end. Hail Freedonia!
Always fun to look through the little details you add. What was this new technique you used?

looool but he looked so cute and fluffy and innocent, i would never have believed that he had such sinister motives. :o
Oh i used 3D to model the scene roughly, then rendered it as a line-art for the larger details once for later use (Magic Wand shenanigans) and a second shaded version (as reference) based on my earlier sketch. I also had to re-do the lineart in ClipStudio because the rendering's quality sucked. :I
Then it went kind of normally.

VERY well done! This immediately reminded me of this photo of an East German soldier helping a boy cross the boarder to his family (and was later executed for that act) https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/ea.....ttle-boy-1961/
Amazing scenery and expressions!
