Derideal 17 cover WIP (Patreon)

There's not much I can say about this cover.

but it's based of a painting of the myth of Narcissus.
https://www.worldhistory.org/Narcissus/

I mostly took it as reference because Alpha is like a corrupted reflection of Aden.
and Alpha always seems to feel to have lost something, it got a different meaning than the myth, but the pose was cool.

The original script story I had written had more to do with water and with a similar scene like this, but I ended up changing almost everything.

but I'll be commenting with each WIP of the new pages about what the hell I'm trying to do in this little bit of story.

ahah I also decide to buff Alpha a lot in part 3, I just thought that's he's a full grown soldier cat, he's entitled to look strong, as the Alpha Prime xeno he's supposed to be.

I've always thought him as a sentient cat battle creature, so it's best for him to look like it for a change.
