Artist's commentary
journey's beginning
Here we see G'ardwah, and her son Boy, traverse thru damp mounds on an early foggy morning. She has taken the responsibility of raising this abandoned human child as her own, and now she must provide for it. She seems to be travelling distances to acquire food, shelter, or even attain knowledge and wisdom on becoming a better mother to her adopted child. But she must keep him hidden and protected, as not every Pokémon around her would appreciate a Pokémon raising a human, their oppressors and enslavers.
This was a practice and study into drawing more dynamic scenes and learning new shading techniques. I also tried a different pen to ink the characters here.
