>>46965528Oh, I can't draw for shit. It was a commission. Danzilla does good work. Bit pricy, but less so than comparable artists, and definitely worth it. Don't remember how much it cost, and I can't quite find the pricelist right now, but here's his DA

>>46969094Thanks, pal! I appreciate your appreciation. I don't think Humbert's backstory is particularly sad, all things considered. He lost his dad kind of early, to lung cancer, and that kept him from going on an adventure until a bit later on in life, but overall he hasn't had any considerable trauma. His Houndoom there, she's a rescue dog with some serious emotional problems, she's got all the trauma. The point of that piece was more about loneliness while travelling-- other trainers are good company when you can have them, but that's not all the time, and sometimes you're left walking the routes without anyone to hold a conversation for days or weeks at a time. But even though it's definitely a melancholy atmosphere, I think it's a kind of bittersweet vibe, overall. Even if he's alone, he's got a dog that loves him, a warm fire, and a song on a gorgeous night.
