FULL VIEW PLEASE!

The wealthy Shrewbrenton family lived at their manor east of Blummings for many generations. Many years ago, however, a small child was removed from the house in hopes of holding him for ransom. When the family, not to be disrespected by thieves and bandits, refused to pay the sum demanded, a raid ransacked the manor and murdered the family. The boy was spared, and grew up ,unknowingly, among the very same people who butchered his family. Here the legend now takes different sides: one version states that one day the boy found out what his new 'family' had done, and killed each of them one by one while they slept, only to continue to kill and steal to survive. Another version tells that the boy embraced his fate, becoming the greatest thief and assassin who's ever lived. The most interesting thing is is that this all happened around a century ago, yet it is said the the legendary assassin known today as Sojourner Paleblade is the same Shrewbrenton boy, leading believers to say he sold his soul (or those of his victims) for immortality.

This story/picture combo is amazing. On the picture, I love the colors and the textures. That mask is amazing. Those shoes are excellent! That outfit is also wonderful. I think the entire outfit ties nicely in with the story, and I love how the background is similar to him in color, so it is almost as if he is disappearing (but because the colors are also so different, it makes him the focus of the picture). The story was very interesting. Also that name is awesome.
All in all, great job!

yeah, it was actually featured in a poll for best creature or something like that in the all support group (i voted for yours!). i would have thought they would have notified you of that lol
but if you go to your deviation, it will say on the side what groups it's featured in.
