Another commission for xanderh and shalak featuring their characters Soulcatcher (white tigress) and Topaz (black jaguar) training their little gremlin daughter River. With two parents like that she's bound to become a fearsome warrior one day!
Once again, I really had a lot of fun with this work! I've drawn all these characters before, and I really love them all! Cats in medieval armors, what more could I ask for? :P

I'm glad! :D Xanderh and Shalak always commission me the best armors!
She's a girl, and she's not so much emotional, as she is inexperienced and full of energy :P
Oh yeah. I love sword fighting-I've had so many lessons. But it's very interesting) I was a member of the historical reconstruction club for a very long time. We depicted Rome during the first century of our era
Aww River is so cute right now! Hard to believe she grows up to become such an alluring and beautiful woman. She is coming at her mom hard with the hyper gremlin sword style!!!
Haha I know right? I loved drawing her as a total gremlin! XD
Really love the enthusiasm of their daughter, like a cat gremlin would spar haha
Excellent work :D
Excellent work :D
She's got more energy than skill at this point, so they gotta tire her out a bit before trying to actually teach her any real technique.
She'd learn eventually, and became a quite skilled warrior in her own right.

Lovely work as usual! You did a great job with River's training equipment, the armour, the swords, and of course the expressions. Topaz looking on with pride, while River is just absolutely full of energy (right before she gets put in the ground, only to get back up for another go).
Thank you so much for commissioning me once again! XD I loved drawing baby gremlin River so much!
"Tell me how the grass tastes, little lady!" *sends River flying*

Gotta start somehow.
So who better than professionals who are her parents?

I love the poses and the armors!! Such cute family event :P
Thank you so much hun! It was a real fun working on these three, especially the lil gremlin XD
Oh my... you're telling it wasn't a one time fling, they went full on couple? Absolutely adorable!
I love river and her goblin nature there, ah! only so much my heart can take in one single image!!!
Also every single face is absolutely flawlessly perfect, I can't explain how, but they are.

Oh yeah, they were quite literally made for each other ;) The intention with the two characters was for them to be a couple, and have a couple of children before eventually being forced to leave their mercenary company.
And yes, the faces and expressions are just completely perfect. 0laffson managed to perfectly nail the feeling and emotion of each of them.

I missed a lot of lore, thank you for catching me up.
Even I can tell a charge like that is going to end up with her going flying and I know nothing about swordplay.
This video was the inspiration for the poses and the charge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf5ripSoy04
Maybe once she's sent flying a few times she will calm down and learn :P
Ohmygossshhhhh this is so bad-assedly sweet and precious! X3
You know I just noticed that he spread his foot beans apart which is adorable like a big old stomp before he attacks X3 typical kitten behaviour I'm surprised he doesn't have a more puffier tail X3
How pleasing to the eye (the only one? - attempt to joke)) the stripes you have turned out to be!
Is the eyepatch also for training or has the tabby lost an eye somewhere in battle?

Soulcatcher (the big tigress) lost her eye many years before this in one of her first fights as a mercenary, and at this point always wears an eyepatch.
Tiger stripes look SO good, I really should draw more of them!
I for some reason hear her screaming "A tiger can't earn its spots! [bash] Jaguar!" just blending the two cat cultures as she goes full goblin mode.
Then suddenly, someone invents guns! Years of parental training wasted!
Guns predate plate armour in Europe, actually, they were just terrible for a few centuries. Breastplates were made to resist guns once they became relevant for warfare. The term "bulletproof" comes from that era, where breastplates were shot with a gun (typically a pistol, to my knowledge), and the scratch left by the bullet was the "bullet proof" that it was a good breastplate.
It's always love the evolution of them getting more and more triangular pointed and the flanges slowly being more angled In just the right way to deflect all the molten lead and shrapnel away from the specifically vital parts though not always away from the arms you can still fight with one arm leaking vital fluids right?
I vote for a sneaky kitten putting a conbernation of mother's and father's armour on Infront of a mirror
struggling to pull of a happened heroic pose while they peep thru the door with fondness looks and gruff loving exaperations or something like that XD
Wonder what that would cost to donate towards you doing it X3
