The first part of my half of the art trade with :annya-yl: (https://www.deviantart.com/annya-yl). This took a very long time, because I decided to do a little mini-comic (almost as long as https://www.deviantart.com/eukayoticprokaryote/art/Who-has-proclaimed-himself-God-this-time-858037071, surprisingly enough). As you can see, it lacks shading, not at all because I started shading it, and decided that that way lay madness. No, it's because I thought the lack of shading complemented the cartoony/comic aesthetic of the picture. Yeah. That's it.

Anyway, the idea of the art trade was to pick a character of your own, then pick a character of the other, and have them interacting. In this case, I picked the Masked Knight (https://www.deviantart.com/annya-yl/art/Terrified-817283716), a character whose original references magically kept growing more intricate, the more I drew him, and Azriel, and Sapphira, my racoon characters that I just recently named.

Originally this was supposed to have dialogue, but I cut it out in keeping with the idea that her character's supposed to be a source of silent slapstick.
