Created, Sketched and Coloured by the incredible and darling Dragonmaster http://ashascadence.deviantart.com/ /  AshasCadence

I cannot thank her enough for this stunning sketch sheet of my character, Rasaa. She was with me every single step of his design and I am so in love with the results.

Inspired by a touching Cirque Du Soleil performance - Solo on Crutches by the Limping Angel - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWR5yp1VkZg

Asha is an absolute legend, I'd urge everyone to request a commission from her - and she is open at the moment! http://ashascadence.deviantart.com/#/d57zoa4 -please do Not ask for smut or anatomically correct commissions, she will not do them *protective growl*

Please do not copy, use or steal- Design, concept, character and story belong to me.
Art, lineart and all else belongs to Ashascadence.

Perhaps one day I'll post his story.. for now.. it's just a work in progress. However, I'll leave you with this snippet..

"Tell me what you see."

She drew herself up and gazed across his figure laying in the softly swaying grass. A quiet smile across his jaws. Dappled sunlight flowed and shifted across his form, subtly catching the golden stripes across his pelt. But she saw too the hideous scar that stained half of his face, spreading its poisonous fingers across his pale pearlescent flesh, radiating from the blackened hole that remained of his left eye.

She swallowed at the sight of the shattered stump that remained of his back leg.. and the shredded, seared pieces of one formally proud wing. Here and there, deep purple strands crept like a spidering curse across his skin. 'Truly' she thought 'this creature has suffered...' Her brow furrowed, he looked to her like two beasts entwined, one a disease, spreading its hands to infect and the other a permanent battleground. The thought was startled from her mind when he stirred.

Rasaa raised his emerald eye to hers and spoke softly, his everpresent smile cutting through the twisted scar that tore his face. "No child.. See me for my power.. my joy... my beauty. Look beyond my wounds.. and know Me... know yourself... Now Fly."
