Rooftop, 7:39 PM by She-Wolf91 on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Was missing my dad one night, and decided to draw something based on my one AU.

Context is, after having a terrible day where bad news just keeps coming, Ronin goes somewhere quiet to sulk. Kamo, who barely had time to properly comfort his daughter because "the city is in danger!", manages to catch up to her.

While during the story the two of them actually manage to close the gap, this is the moment where they really start to connect.

I've grown to really hate the trope of "edgy teen with abandonment issues acts stubborn towards any adult who tries to help them out", and decided not to write Ronin like that. She's alone, she's scared, and she KNOWS she needs someone to trust, and since her dad is making the effort, she lets her guard down and reaches out to him.

Notes:

-My coloring is not the best here, as I used a combination of markers, colored pencils and filters. (Why do I choose to color? Whyyyy?)

-There was no way I was going to get Kamoshidaman's hair right. I knew that if I tried, he would accidentally look like Swaine, and I don't feel like getting shot at today.

-As I've mentioned in her bio, Ronin has the ability to shift her hair between black and blonde (black being her natural color); when she's in a state of upset, it's hard to control.
