Those who read my journal entitled "I did it" might know where this bunny guy came from. Raikonia's a big world, and here is another of its many denizens, a young Auran Sage making a humble living in a forest village. I got the idea for this character when I considered what my own home town might've been like in that world. I realized that if I had lived there, I would most likely be a rabbit, so I began fleshing out this guy. I don't have a name for him yet, but as his story continues to write itself in my mind I'm sure one will come up eventually.
The runes on the upper left (and adorning his loincloth) are from a popular form of writing by the Sages, passed down by the Shepheri. It's commonly called "cascade" script due to the fact that each letter in a word is connected to each other in an unbroken stream. Verrocite weapons are engraved with many of these runes, describing the wielder and blessings for their futures. The runes there in the pic simply say "Rabbit Sage."

In this pic I also tried to improve my work on male anatomy, and I think I corrected a number of issues plaguing previous pics. The shoulders a bit more broad and the proportions are slightly more accurate, I think. The hips still may be a bit too rounded, but that's a result of drawing so many females in the past =P Plight of the artist continues.
