Blood by @Tanebi (Tanebi Nehbora)
There are 3 real stages to Tatsu
1) Short hair, begins comic / Story this way
2) Begins to grow hair out ( Due to the fact i like diversity, so if his hair grows over the span of the comic strip, im not always drawing the same thing )
3) And it finally gets long enough that he gets bored and puts it in a braid.
Tatsu is infused with the spirit of a dragon, and hes using his "Draconic" powers in this picture, a picture illustrated for the part of the story where his friend dies. The "Why?" at the bottom, is him questioning why some things happen, such as his friend dieing.
Great job on the shadeing. Keep it up!
