Description

Did her last night, while listening to (What Is) Love by Jennifer Lopez. Was up till 3 AM. That's why it has today's date.



Tasha's past has long been kept secret by me. Her childhood was ok, but her early teen years were torturous. When Luca fell and was judged, sending him to that other dimension, a small group of Kotians came over as well. (Willingly) Tasha was born 3 years later. When she was 13, her colony was discovered, and captured. They were sold off into an underground slave market. Quickly a new sport was made of them. They were shown off and judged by their appearances, much like a dog show/ beauty pageant. They were treated like property. The big show winners were treated better, as far as living and feeding conditions were concerned. Tasha proved to be a huge star in this barbaric system. Because of this, her owner tried "breeding" her with other show winning males. She was 14, when he first tried to pair her. By accident, she learned to be aggressive and use her claws to "damage the value" of the males that were pushed on her. Soon she gain a reputation on this, and most of the other "breeders" refused to subject their "prized show winners" to her violence. She was treated very abusively by her owner, but he rarely brought her to physical harm. (He was still using her to compete)

At this time, Luca had been found and captured by Cyrus of The Company. While there, some of Luca's powers and attributes revealed themselves and The Boss of the company took interest in him. The Boss eventually subjected Cyrus and Lorelei to finding a female to, in essence, create more super beings like Luca. (They did not agree with him, but they could not refuse) In their search, the two ended up stumbling across the Kotian slave black market. Cyrus found and bought off Tasha. (Using The Company's money) She was brought back to The Company, and given a comfortable place to stay. The Boss wanted them to "breed" right away, but after putting Luca and Tasha in the same room for a few minutes, they had to be separated. (By that time, Tasha had been in close quarters with so many Kotian men who had become lust driven animals, that she was terrified of men of her kind, and was quick to lash out) Luca left the room with gash marks on his face. (Luca was rather confused to begin with, when he was shoved into the room. He got excited when he saw Tasha, because he hadn't seen another of his kind since he was 5. When he walked over to greet her, she clawed his face. The poor guy was startled and hurt pretty badly) Lorelei used this event to get The Boss to give over the reins back to her and Cyrus for taking care of Luca and Tasha. Just like they had to break Luca's phobia of humans/strangers, they struggled to repair Tasha from her trauma and phobia of Kotian men. (Also a distrust in humans) As time pasted and emotional scars began fading, Tasha became aware of how Luca treated her differently than any other man she had met. He was always gentle and careful around her, he never got mad, or tried to touch her, and he never pushed her to do anything that made her uncomfortable. Slowly, Tasha opened up to him, and found herself falling in love.


Now with the story in mind, here is the song that caused me to do all of this last night. ---> m.youtube.com/watch?v=_ONmJbTJ…

I enjoy work on lined paper, especially this one. Tasha, a modern sounding, Russian sounding as well, but it hurts to see her crying. Her anatomy is well, how to put it? Spot on! The hairstyle works for this girl as well, its short, exposing more of her neck, she looks more vulnerable. She looks to be cowering as well, or perhaps was sitting and crying. But her eyes, they are wonderful, a moment of pleading and sorrow, captured in such beauty. I feel graced to even be able to view such works and to be able to reach the artist who created this. Thank you for this work, don't be shy and make more!
