This is a colour version of this lovely sketch by Yllamse; I asked her if I could colour it, and she said yes, so I did finally. : ) The scene is from the Wayrift forum roleplay The Rifted Riders, in which a bunch of us decided to roleplay our characters which we had submitted to the Wayrift Dragonrider contest. Here, the recruits have the evening off. So they go drinking, as one does. Xanda and Kali, of course, get dressed to the nines and get ready to go wild; Jayce is shyly curious; Tiarc’rie the fairy dragon is excited (and technically invisible to all but Jayce); Midnight the minidragon is wondering how to keep her friend Xanda from partying too hard; and Hrulash is grimly bringing up the rear, hoping that no one will embarrass them all.

It was a good roleplay. Too bad I got too lethargic to continue. (as far as I know, Hrulash took an injury in a battle against acidic swamp witches, was laid up in bed, and then prolly someone made him stay in bed until he actually recovered properly. I don’t even know. I haven’t checked the thread since then, except to get colour references for this picture. It doesn’t seem to have gone too far in page length, at least. Maybe we can pick it up again next September?) : D
