Noofaroos and Grotori

Description

Hello! This was an entry for a large group art show I recently had, called The Double Entendre. I wrote a story, divided up the lines, and these acted as 'prompts' for artists to create something with. I had people (any myself) draw them randomly out of a hat. I think eventually I would like to make each piece myself... the group show was great and all but I can't post a ton of pictures on DA the way I did my other show, Mythology! But I can if the art pieces are mine..... hmm... evil plotting 

The line was 31. "Catching the Noofaroos and exploding the Grotori". It really only made sense to me, these are made up creatures from my stories. I thought it would be fun, people could design their own creatures, but it was actually a "reject" line and no one wanted it, so in the end I just took it. Oh well! It was great for me, to draw all of these little guys in one page. Marky the ferret is in the upper right corner, Izzy the otter-velociraptor-bat in the lower left, and Vivi the darkness bunny in the lower right. They are trying to catch the noofaroos, little balls of light. But there are also sprites (the many-shaped white creatures) and tons of sayshas! These are basically like your lower demons, imps, Bartimaeus the Djinn... These nasty little creatures are making the grotori explode :icondragonweep: These are an original species by me, I have some as adoptables as well. Grotori are six-legged....rodent... like creatures. They have long curly tongues, and their past time is to eat dirt and dust! Great cleaners to have in a library. What they are eating determines the color of their fur (browns and greens, if moss, etc.) They are very easily scared, if you spook them all of their fur explodes off! Poor little things. They have pink skin underneath and don't like to be naked (fur grows back in a few days anyway. They naturally shed every couple of months anyway) So that is what you see happening- one Saesha is grabbing at one that still has fur, and two are exploding and hairs are in the air! Here is another picture of them: Grotori

I really was unhappy with it... I was trying to finish it the night before the show, amid all kinds of other crazy stresses. I wanted the entire background to be black, but settled for this color due to time, but I think it made my pretty pink foxglove and brown tree look weird.... so I am uploading this version now but I might recolor everything over break :shrug:

Watercolor and sharpie! Hope you like :heart:
