Disguise the scent

(c) (characters and original novel)

This is the first of the two pair of fanart i've worked for the third book of the Named series. Ratha and the Thistlechaser.

I've greatly enjoyed the book for a number of things, especially the ending. I like sometimes bittersweet ending (as could have been the first two books), but a true warming and happy ending is sometimes much welcomed (especially because i was thrilled and in fear that was going to happens something during the last pages and i was very relieved).

The books themselves have a number of fun scenes. I've picked this one (with Thistlechaser forcing Thakur to roll on dung to cover his smell) enlarging a bit because in the book Aree is spared by Thakur himself.... here i've drawn the little treeling escaping just as she get a sniff at it...

(PS: it's strange how i keep experimenting different things with fanart about this series: usually i don't draw black eye surrounded by the proper colour of the eye, more often i did main colour surrounded by white).

Comments and opinions are extremely welcome ^^
