Wardog
With the death of Fox Arès, Bothan sadly knows that she will not defend the Haut-Val just by herself. Thousand of years ago, just before she goes to an artificial sleep, she destroyed all the automatical defenses - like gatlings - and the powerful Abaddon. Now she has to repair all of them, or she will lose the future battles. Mutants were way too numerous now that the weapons are out. Bothan so hates that kind of monster. Wardog. Or Earthworm, whatever. A kind of dragon without wings created by the Dogma for the Ancient War. A pure creation to make war. Like her in fact. She couldn't help but to think. What would have be the fate of Fox Arès if she hadn't made that mistake to unleash a Wivern a year ago? He wouldn't have shown his powers publically, he wouldn't have been the focus of all attacks, and finally... He wouldn't have died... All were her fault... Two wardogs, in the same place. That's what she currently thinks... She hates mutants, it reminds her that awful mistake which condamned her lover. She so hates herself for that...
I worked in a weird factory. I don't specially have work, I just waited most of the time. So I drew between those periods. Even using a desk to. I don't think I have to complain about, isn't it?

The detail in this piece is absolutely amazing! I love the fine scale work in the Wardog along with the contrasting larger plates. It is one of those creatures that looks like it has the ability to blend well into its surroundings, especially natural ones. I love the perspective that you have the Wardog's head drawn in, it really shows the power and full extent of its jaw structure. Nice job on the musculature as well.
I love Bothan's posing and the detail and textures that you have captured in both her fur textures and the armor that she is wearing. I absolutely love that weapon of hers and the small details in her face such as the wrinkles of her brow, and the soft detailing of her teeth.
The composition is a lot of fun, I really enjoy how both Bothan and part of the Wardog break the frame I think that creates a nice draw into the piece. You have an amazing talent with watercolor!
