 reddyeno5, who is open for charcoal commissions of win, did this other commission for me way back in August. I was particularly inspired by her gallery pieces where she was drawing common background items. Boring normally, but there was a certain ... correctness to them, a certain realism, while still having a style of their own that stems from effort, not just some cheesy filter. I fed her photo references from my house on the first commission (though she ended up constructing her own angle!), and OF the house for this second commission.

Anyhow, she drew a few great concept sketches for that first pic, and it got me thinking I need to have her draw a sequel some day. Evidently I was in a particularly macro growy kangarooy macropody mood that summer, 'cause this was commissioned around the same time as the series I just posted.

So anyway, here it is! Rooth'roo's not especially good at reading, so it took him a while to get to the growy part of the book. Many hours. Hours that would have made him tired, were it not from all the coffee he was drinking. ;) The original draft of this piece had a lot sharper depth-of-field going on, but on consultation, we decided to tone it down a bit. It was a close call, though.

Note that while I did recently post BlackRat's series, and it does sorta blend well into this sequence, they were not designed to work together necessarily. Which is another way of saying, I might some day be lucky and get a chance to commission BlackRat for a few more pages in that comic series, and if it strays a bit from this sequence, I don't mind. :smile:
