Family Matters

by picturae (Eos_x)

Summary:

A glimpse into the world of raising young wraith. Some sweet moments, some... not so sweet...

Notes:

• For Salchat.
• In response to a prompt by Salchat in the Oh for the love of Todd! collection.

The original prompt was for a story (which remains a WIP) but the notion of seeing the inner workings of wraith family life inspired some art instead.

Salchat - these pieces are each dedicated to members of our writers' group and this first lot has been posted today so that you know you've got your hive with you. :D

Chapter 1

For Salchat.

Ever wondered what a grumpy little wraith baby would look like? Well, not only can this wraithling's hair out-swoosh John's, apparently the mega-pout makes him look like a mini-Rodney...! (Which is why I cheated and gave him blue eyes).

(Charcoal and whitechalk sketch. Coloured pencils for the eyes).

 

For Rudigersmooch.

Todd's had a hard night. I mean, imagine; not just the usual noise of an infant crying but its little mind wailing inside your head too? Yikes. 

(Charcoal and white chalk sketch on rough paper).

 

For Mavet.

I can't quite tell if this little one is yanking on the wraith's hair and getting growled at, or if they're playing and the wraith is actually smiling in an encouraging fashion...

(Charcoal and chalk pastels).

 

Notes:

Next up, a quiet moment for Michael, some wraithling naughtiness, and a darling little queen...
