Description
A commission which was ordered by Hallan, a nice fella I met at Midwest Furfest 2008 who was kind enough to wait patiently for this piece to be finished. Big thanks, Hallan!
This copic marker and prismacolor pencil piece had a sad history. I started it at Furfest but didn't get the opportunity to really sit down and focus on it until this summer (I've had a busy school year :/ ), but I get home to my parent's place and find that somehow, I didn't pack the nearly finished piece. So I start a new one with a similar layout (though compositionally, far superior imo) and after hours of working on the linework, lay it out and go to bed. I wake up and find out my cat decided to mark her territory on my artwork. She's a bad cat I had to go out and purchase a lightbox just so I could fix this thing by tracing the original image. Then my OTHER cat sits on this. Thankfully, her messy paws didn't leave any damage. String of bad luck, wot?

The description of the scene written by Hallan.

"The crowd parted with an admiring murmur as Drift and Alexis moved into the hall. Drift was in his taur form, wearing a doublet on his upper body. The caparison that clothed his lower body draped like a blanket down to his ankles. Both doublet and caparison were a deep shade of blue with silver buttons, and the caparison went even further. It seemed a work of art, with three other shades of icy blue curling along its dark length like gusts of winter wind. Snowflakes wrought with silver thread glittered as he walked, seeming almost to dance across the night sky the deep blue symbolized.

Alexis rode sidesaddle on Drift and was wearing a long, flowing dress of red and orange chased with gold thread, which seemed to have no laces or buckles to hold it in place. Her wings seemed to extend right through the sides somehow, without hampering the fabric, and the red and gold of her dress contrasted with Drift's white fur and blue clothing perfectly. Her only jewelry aside from her engagement ring was a necklace of gold, from which hung a jewel of deep blue with little flecks of gold that shimmered like little stars on a moonless night."

I love that god damned blanket.
