Shadow Bender
The oldest piece of work on here bar-none. Drew traditionally then blended out the over-exposed white areas of pencil shading in Photoshop. I used to like this effect, however this is the only good case of it. Other times it would turn out awful.
Comments 02019-10-12: Even now, over ten years later, I continue to neglect to draw Metia. This is still one of my favourite pictures of Metia because of it establishing his design. This was an experiment with making the nuish species look original, and I like what I achieved with the ears and tail.
... Metia doesn't even have shadow elemental abilities any more, natively.
