It is finally done :) OMG I want him so badly, I love his design <3 The first 4 drawings are made on scratch and 1: Sleeping Raiko, he always sleeps on the same spot in an area. This is his favorite sleeping spot. With the surrounding of conifers, a bed of grass and a sky full of stars. (First time ever of doing shadows.) 2: Angry Raiko. You do not often see an angry Raiko, it is very rare to spot. The wolf is most of the time calm and when he is in a fight he will first try to run away. But if a friend is in trouble he will do everything to safe him. So that is the only time he is very angry. 3.Just a fast picture. This is not a beautiful picture. I just wanted to draw this lovely wolf. 4. I tried an other style. I like it, but I do not think I am going to use it. 5. A pen sketch of Raiko. I was bored so I drew this little fellow. This is sort of my own style. :) I really like to draw fast and with a pen. 6. Another drawing with pen that I rushed. But I like how this turned out. This is a good example of my own style.
Please don't mark at the grammar, I am not english and I am really bad at writing in english. :[ Name: Raiko This little boy is a lantern keeper. He wanders the black woods with his lantern and helps people to find their way back home. He is a lonely wolf and is sometimes shy. Likes: He really likes te woods and all the creatures who live there. His favorite color is blue, (that is why he painted his hair that color) and he is more an evening person. Dislikes: He hates when there is a big boss bossing him around. When someone is bossing him around and yelling at him he will flee as fast as he can. I don't like when other people scream or yell. Also he has a fear of horses, those animals are to big for him and are dangerous. When he does not like something he will flee. Personality: Raiko is a lovely friend, he is a bit shy and introvert. He thinks a lot about the surroundings and other people's feelings. He is a good listener, he always listens to the sounds of the wood. He likes adventures in the woods, but does not have the time for that. His job is to protect the woods and to bring people save back home, even if there is a horse with them. Backstory: In his past he did something terrible, the tiny details will revealed later. There is a big black castle in the middle of the woods and as a child Raiko liked to spend his evenings playing there with his two best friends. But his friends got in a fight with each other and the friends seperated inside the castle. Raiko tried to bring them together but he got lost inside the castle. It was dark inside, but luckily he had a lantern with him. His father had given him the lantern before they went of into the woods. Finally he found his friends back, but they were lost inside the castle and could not think of a way out. He opened a random door when he heared a noise. He disturbed the ghost of the castle. They were scared when the giant ghost approached them. They attacked the ghost but unsuccessful. The ghost killed one of Raiko's friends and Raiko and his other friend froze. The ghost of the castle cast a spell on both. It was Raiko's job to lead people through the forest, the be sure that no more people got by accident in the castle. And his friend must clean the castle and keep company of the Ghost. The ghost of the dead friend of Raiko was banished to the cellar and tunnels under the castle and the woods, for if there was any passenger underground. The friends have never seen each other since that moment, but Raiko thinks a lot about them and really want them back. Short thing: It was night already. The wood was sleeping, almost every creature was warm and cozy in his home. Expect the owl and the wolf Raiko. His Lantarn shines a soft light. The path before him is dark he watches where he stands. It is dangarous alone, but not for this wolf. He is protected and he is strong. "I can't be harmed, even if I wanted to. Only to be released from this curse. I wish there was a way to be free from it." he spoke softly to himself. He sighed, there was no way to brake the curse and he knows that he must learn to life with it. Until there came a little special girl to the forest..... Thing I wanted to do with this character: - Use him in Memes B) - Animate a bit - Write a story with art
