Whe I first saw the contest I didnt know if I might enter or not because.. well.. nasty art block.
I made a few sketches because there are so many awesome characters and I wanted to get the best result... kinda xD
Then I sketched Raja and well... I liked it enough to make a more clean sketch and soon the lineart.
The colors were... well I had trouble getting the colors right, since I didnt have the right copics at hand to there are basically a hell lof of colors mixed into his fur and a few shadings with polychromos.
I like the result.
and I hated it when I started the coloring and now. MEH.
Idk.

Anway. Raja.



[You should take a look at the ref and read it]

So Raja is the spirit of a forest and was kind of 'reborn' after the forest got burned down to rebuild it to it's former beauty.
I imagined him after the flames subsided and the forest was left silent and bleak to arise from the ashes [with whirly green lights of course] to fulfill his duties as the forest's spirit.
*huffs* I like imagininf stories and everything behind that and I hope it's okay I constructed this scene in my head.

Anyway. I hope you like it!

ENJOY


Raja belongs to :iconatroci:
