An old bit of art I did for my fic Scales, Wings, and Mythical Things. It’s lead pencil on paper, watercolour pencils, and plain black pen for the outline. I took a photo since the scanner wasn’t working, plus it wasn’t mine to use. Enjoy!
A tiny paw wrapped around part of the wire mesh and pulled. Nothing happened apart from a bit of pain where the wire had dug in slightly. It was too sturdy for his normal strength, but perhaps if he put on the Power Bracelets? Force should be a last resort though as he recalled the way the man had pressed something to open the cage. Much better to be smarter than to waste strength and effort.
The Minish’s tail waved back and forth as he started to climb up the wire. He was thankfully oblivious to the sharp stare of the merman in the tank, whose pale eyes were locked unerringly on the swish of the feathery looking appendage. He found a solid piece of metal with some small mechanisms and guessed it was his ticket to getting the cage open. He scuttled to it and pushed his arm around as far as it would go, tiny hand-like paw flailing around.
