Instinctive Predator

Hey everyone!

I did it! I may have finished my most complex and intense Brushmarker drawing so far, one that I am absolutely proud of! It's yet another fanart piece for Beastars, featuring Legoshi and Haru this time in feral versions!

Oh my gosh, this one... took a lot of strength and effort, I can tell. I was absolutely stunned by the sketch I managed to come up with and actually only intended to draw the characters, only with a simple, flat or gradient background, but then deecided to work on a more advanced background with a real scene for these two to be in. I sketched out the scene they were in the manga/anime of Beastars (again: If you haven't watched/read it: DO IT! XD). Legoshi loses control over his carnivore instincts and starts hunting the dwarf rabbit girl, Haru, who happens to be nearby. She is running, but can't escape as he jumps and is about to tackle and devour her.
We have seen them sitting on the ground together with a huge tension between them, Legoshi holding her tight as she can't move due to too much fear. However, I wanted to show the momentum right before that, showing the characters in motion instead of standing still. This builds up the tension and climax of this scene, shows some action and I wanted to see if i can manage to capture these two in their motions, to show the right perspective and angle here. I must say, this piece may not be perfect, but still it's something I can look at and be impressed by it by myself (without wanting to brag, I am just so happy about the outcome).

I drew the fountain emitting blood instead of water, since this is an element that was included in the anime scene. The red moon is a symbol for the series, so I added it as well. Over all, I would have loved to make the entire scene even darker and more contrast rich, however: I am still learning to work with these brushmarkers and this may have been a bit too risky for me. I will try out more and more, but I didn't want to ruin this piece here. This is also a reason why I wasn't able to pull of the foggy effect on the background. Oh well, I will learn how to do this at some point for sure^^

Anyways, I really REALLY hope you like this piece at least a bit (if not even just as much as I do <3) and I am looking forward to your feedback :D
