Dolea's story"Auster?"

Borea turned to look around, but her friend was nowhere to be seen. She turned a full circle, but the was neither any sign of the grey male wolf nor any indication about which way he had gone. Borea was getting irritated.

"Quit fooling around, where are you? Auster!"

There was no response aside from the faint echo, but just as Borea was about to call again, she heard a slight noise from somewhere to her left.

Plus, it was loads of fun to draw evil variations of my characters.

Those are good. Nice expressions and poses. I love the eyes...

*claps* Great job! I'm happy you posted this, your observations could indeed be usefull as they are well explained. Awesome job on making evil versions of your characters, they're very well done.
